This cake was for my Grandparents 50th Wedding Anniversary, the Golden Anniversary. I really enjoyed working on this cake because I got to do a bit more pipe work than I usually get to do, and I was able to design it for my grandparents. This is a 4- tiered cake with each tier consisting of 2 layers. This cake was fairly small for a 4 tier cake with the tiers being 4", 6", 8", and 10" in size. It served approx. 100.

This cake was a french vanilla cake with homemade buttercream icing and a marshmallow fondant plaque with a "K" (for their last name). The gold was handpainted using luster dust.

O.K. so here is my Husband's 26th Birthday Cake! We went to Houston to watch the Atlanta Braves play the Houston Astros. Baseball fans, in particular Atlanta Brave and Chipper Jones fans will remember that day as the game that Chipper Jones got hurt, I believe he can make a great comeback for next year though! So while we were there, my husband had his Baseball Cap signed, so I thought, what better than to make his Birthday cake in the shape of that hat!

This cake is a butter flavor cake with sprinkles (to mimic "funfetti"), with cream cheese icing and marshmallow fondant covering the cake. The baseball is RKT covered in marshmallow fondant.

Wow! It has been a while since my last post! We have been pretty busy over the last few months! We have moved, purchased a new car, gone on vacation, celebrated our first wedding anniversary, and also celebrated my grandparents 50 wedding anniversary! I have been so busy that I have been a slacker on this blog! My apologies to anyone wanting to see new cakes!

This was a Father's Day cake for a customer who wanted a fishing theme. This was a 1/4 sheet Red Velvet cake with a Crusting Cream Cheese icing.

This is a Baby Shower Cake I did for a lady who is having a baby boy! The customer wanted a cake with primary colors and circus animals. This is the image she selected to use, and I think it is precious for a baby boy! This cake was a 2-layer, 1/4 sheet strawberry cake with strawberry filling and buttercream icing.

This is a baby shower cake created for a baby girl. The mom-to-be had created her own invitations with the image of herself holding an umbrella under a rain shower. The customer decided to use the mom's design and add baby pink because It's A Girl! The customer also chose to have the baby's monogram placed on the umbrella. This cake was a 2-layer 1/2 sheet strawberry cake with buttercream icing and strawberry filling.

This is the cake for Captain M.C. Shmidt, captain of the argonauts and inventor of the time machine. (Not really, I believe the time machine was invented by H.G. Wells? or at least he wrote the book). This cake is actually a themed cake with the theme being "Steampunk". Since steampunk is a bit Science fiction and fantasy rolled into actual inventions and set in the Victorian period (but actually a movement of the 1980's- confused yet?) I got to make up my own story to go along with this cake, so I decided that Captain Shmidt would be the fictional customer of this cake. O.K. so now that's the background. (This cake is actually for a Steampunk themed cake competition). So think of time machines, argonauts (or air pirates), steam engines, clocks, steam locomotives, steam boats, top hats, brass, wood grain, gears and watch parts, chains, solar flare goggles, and anything to do with flight.... I daydreamed and sketched till I came up with this cake.

O.K. so this is a 3-tiered (6", 8", 10") cake covered with Marshmallow Fondant and decorated with gears, goggles, clock, watch pieces, chains, key and lock, rivets and a time machine pilots pin sculpted out of Wilton Brand ready made fondant. All the cake is hand painted with gel food color and luster dusts for the metallic sheen. Hope you guys like it, I had a lot of fun making it, and it was quite the challenge I needed to get me thinking outside the cake box!! Thank you Aaron, Summer, and Mac for teaching me the 3-D design and sculpture lessons I needed for this cake, and Susanna K., Sean C., and Judea J. you guys artwork was an inspiration in different ways, not to mention, this is Judea's honorary Birthday cake since I never made her one! Oh, and thanks to my hubby for taking and editing the photo and building the backdrop!!
