Under the Sea

This two tiered cake was made for an "under the sea" themed baby shower. I was sent a picture of the nursery and mimicked the school of fish on the wall above the crib onto the bottom tier of this cake. There was also a blue starfish sitting on the bookshelf, so I made fondant starfish to decorate the top tier. Lettering on the cake read "I've been swimming in your tummy, can't wait to meet daddy and mummy".

The bottom tier was 12" and top tier was 8", both were yellow cake with lemon filling and buttercream frosting.

The inspiration...

The cake...

Very Curious!

This adorable cake was made for Henry's 1st birthday. I made two cakes, one for the guests to enjoy and one for Henry to dig right into! These cakes were designed based on the invitation to Henry's party, which had an image of Curious George looking through binoculars and polka dots.

The sheet cake was a 2 layer 11x15" yellow cake, Henry's was a 2 layer 6" round cake. All decorations were hand piped with buttercream frosting.

Custom Cupcake Tower

I had so much fun making this cupcake tower, it was like arts and crafts and baking in one! My best friend is getting married in November, and her wedding will be decorated with beautiful fall colors.

The cupcake tower is made of cake boards covered in a damask patterned paper and styrofoam dividers covered in satin ribbon. The cupcakes are yellow cupcakes baked in gold foil liners topped with buttercream and accented with deep red fondant flowers.

Summer Shower

Whenever I make a cake for a shower, bridal or baby, I usually ask to see the invitation. You can usually tell a lot about the theme and colors of the event just by looking at the invitation. This shower cake in particular was designed using the invitation.

This is a 12" round cake with buttercream frosting.

The flowers were made of royal icing and vines were piped with buttercream.

Up in the sky!

This two tier cake was created for my friend's baby shower, which was decorated in turquoise and lime green. The nursery is sky themed with stars, clouds and airplanes.

This is a 12" and 8" yellow cake filled with buttercream and sliced strawberries. The tiers are covered in fondant and accented with fondant and buttercream.

The airplane and banner on top of the cake are sculpted from fondant and piped with buttercream.

Oh, boy!

The inspiration for this two tiered baby shower cake was the topper. The black and white checkerboard pattern was made by using thin black fondant cut into small squares. I offset the black and white pattern with baby blue and white daisies, apple blossoms, and primroses.

It's a bird...It's a plane...

It's a Superman cake!

I carved this Superman logo from a 12" round cake and placed it on top of a 12" round cake. It was decorated with buttercream frosting.
