The "PITA" cake

The "PITA" cake. So, I was so excited when Lesa asked me to do this. These two are lovingly referred to as the "pain in the @#$" at work, or the "PITA"s. They even dressed up as PITAs once. So I thought this was a hilariously fitting tribute to them.

Small Spiderman cake

Small Spiderman cake - This one was for an adorable little boy to match his spiderman bike he was getting for his birthday. It was french vanilla cake. Thanks to my friend Marvett Smith who took the picture and sent it to me. She is amazingly talented!

Pink Belly cake

Pink Belly cake - Ok, I admit these freak me out a little because I would have issues cutting into the belly, or worse I suppose...*grin* but I also think they are adorable at the same time. This one was french vanilla with strawberry filling and chocolate with chocolate icing.

Leah Cake

Leah Cake - I am really starting to enjoy the sculpted cakes. They are kind of stressful and really time consuming, but I love the end result so much, it makes it worth it. This one is a mixture of strawberry cake and rice cereal treats.

Connelly wedding with University of Utah Groom's cake

Connelly wedding with University of Utah Groom's cake - I am so glad that Melissa sent me pictures of this one. In my hurry to get all this out to the car, I forgot my camera. This actually happens more than not with weddings because I have so much to remember and the cake is rarely completly assembled before I leave. Therefore, there are three or four cakes I have done that I do not have pictures of to this day because most people do not remember to send me the pictures. So I was thrilled to get an email from Melissa with the pictures attached. :) This one was chocolate vanilla twist with cream cheese filling on bottom, french vanilla with cream cheese filling for the middle and white with chocolate filling for the top.

Mango Luau First Birthday

Mango Luau First Birthday - Another cake based on the Bo Bunny Mango Luau paper. This had a matching smash cake, but for some reason, I always forget to take a picture of the smash cakes. This was chocolate cake and so was the smash.

Weber State University retirement cake

Weber State University retirement cake - This was a cake for my mom who worked at the University for 22 years. Top was spice, middle was lemon and bottom was chocolate. The wildcat on top is their mascot and is hand carved fondant. The words on the top layer list all the departments she has worked for on campus.

Ski Jump cake

Ski Jump cake - this one was for the kid who had the duck hunting cake last year. Must be one fun kid! *grin* This was vanilla/chocolate twist with fudge filling and icing.

Stan and Chewy cake

Stan and Chewy cake - Meet Stan and Chewy. Two best friends loved by an adorable little girl named Marie. Stan is spice cake and Chewy is french vanilla. I love doing cakes like this that have so much personality and sentimental value. Thanks for asking me to do this one Amy!!

Pirate Ship cake

Pirate Ship cake - I have done so many of these that I wasn't going to post this one, but it was just enough different, I decided to post anyway. The carving on these is finally getting easier.

Small Dinosaur cake

Small Dinosaur cake - I don't generally do cakes this small because they take me just as long as the big cakes, so I have to charge almost the same, but this was for a friend who wasn't going to be home to store any leftovers. I really love doing dinosaurs. I was a huge dino fanatic as a little girl, so it is just fun for me. This cake was also for a little girl, which just made me grin.

Brown T-Rex cake

Brown T-Rex cake - I have so much fun with these dinosaur cakes. I think they are my favorite thing that I do. I usually make the head out of rice krispie treats, because I was new at carving, but this one was made entirely out of chocolate cake.

Classic Minnie cake

Classic Minnie cake - This one was chocolate throughout.

Princess Castle

Princess Castle cake - This one was strawberry cake with vanilla filling. I did use a plastic figure on this one. I hate doing that when I know I could do a fabulous fondant one, but I have to be super careful with trademark issues if it is not for family or friends. I still like it anyway. ;) I just feel like using plastic toys is cheating.

2004 Honda Civic cake

2004 Honda Civic cake - this was chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream.
