Cake topper ~mini sofa

I had some fondant left and wanted to give this a try, think it's really cute!




Hello Kitty Birthday cake~my 6th cake

This was made for my daughter, Isabella's 7th birthday. The cake was a white cake with Lemon buttercream filling. I made the hello kitty topper a few days prior so it would harden.
The cake was covered in a beautiful Pink fondant. I made mini flowers and used green floral wire as stems (those were place on top of the cake). Orange/pink flowers were cut using a cookie cutter and each was placed along the cake. I thought it would be nice to make a number 7 for the front of the cake. I had a lot of fun creating this cake! and it was soooo yummy!






Castle Birthday Cake~5th Cake

This cake was done for my daughter's 4th birthday party. She wanted a "princess" theme, I thought this would be perfect!I made a yellow cake with a chocolate filling. All the windows, door, and designs are made with edible beads. I placed some candy along the cake for detail. I covered sugar cones with icing and pink sprinkles which was placed on the top of the cake to complete the castle. The flags are made out of pink construction paper. She loved the cake!


Bridal Shower cake..4th cake

This was done for my Friend, Christina's Bridal Shower. The cake was a 2tier cake, made with chocolate cake and strawberry buttercream filling. sage polka dots have a shimmery glitter along with the fondant bow cake topper. Ivory roses adorn the front of the cake. This was another hot, hot day....I ran into some problems working with the fondant ( it is amazing how the weather plays a major part when working with fondant!) I see were I went a little too thin on the fondant. This was a learning experience....My friend and her family loved the cake! thank God!

elmo birthday cake (3rd cake)

I had a lot of fun designing this cake. This was made for my niece who loves elmo and was turning 2yrs old. This is a two tier cake, the 1st tier is covered in a deep orange fondant and the 2nd tier is a turquoise blue. Her name was placed in front of the cake. The alphabet and Numbers 1-10 (all done in a greenish color). I had made a few sesame street characters out of fondant which were placed along the 2nd tier.
Elmo was the cake topper, As you can see in this picture my poor Elmo was melting fast (all made out of buttercream). Her party was at the end of July in 90 degree weather.
The cake was a yellow cake for the 1st tier and the 2nd tier was chocolate. The filling was strawberry buttercream.
