Unicorn cake
Quick unicorn cake... in the nick of time. I was SO exhausted after yesterday, I just baked it and went to bed. Thankfully the planets aligned and everything went ok. Sometimes I like getting back to these simple buttercream cakes.
Edible dried flowers wedding cake
Today was crazy but wonderful. Dropped off a wedding cake for my sweet friend's son, saw my cute Ashlei... made Pioneer Woman mashed potatoes and Christmas partied with my family until much too late.
South Jordan City Candy Sculpture - Reindeer Scene
This was my second year doing these candy sculptures for South Jordan City. I was so happy with how this one turned out and how easy it was to set up compared to last year! Thanks again to Clint Kotter and his metal base wizardry for the snowman and the tree! The selfie picture is to give you an idea of the scale. The snowman and tree were as tall as me.
Dreams Do Come True in New Orleans wedding cake
This was for my Ashley. This wedding cake had been in the dream state for a lot of years so it was so much fun to see it all come together and to see Ashley as the beautiful bride!
Succulent wedding cake
Wedding cake for my Audrey and Suzanne friends! Had to deliver it early so I could go to girls' weekend with two of my high school besties for our birthdays, so I didn't get a great picture. I hope it made it and that your night was beautiful! Love you ladies!
Astronaut Alien NASA birthday cake
You know how much I love our sheep kids. Peyton asked me to do his birthday cake, I told him I couldn't because it was fair week. But his disappointment haunted me so guess who gets a surprise tomorrow. I hope he likes it because I sure had fun making it!
Bump in the Road Wedding cake
Last minute wedding cake for one of my favorite people in the whole world... well... her handsome son anyway. 😊 This one had me in tears. There is a road right next to this place.... they should warn cake decorators to never, ever, ever take this road! I've been doing this a long time now and I don't have a lot of disasters anymore but there were speed mountains on this road! The bad thing is, they were seriously deceiving. They are just a cement color so they don't look very big but once you go over them you realize that they just launched your car and all of your cakes into the air. I literally think everyone of the cakes actually lifted I half an inch into the air. It was the most terrifying feeling ever and I'm pretty sure I said some words that I'm glad no one else was in the car to hear. :) Luckily it was fixable and didn't look bad from the front but if anyone looks at the back I will cry. Thank you Laurel for being so kind about it! I hope your night was incredible! You looked beautiful as always!!
Fortnite Birthday Cake
This one was for Alan's new boss' son. Surprisingly, none of my kiddos are into Fortnite... so I hope I got this one right. 😊 The actual cake is marble so I colored the vanilla part of the marble and made it camouflage inside. I hope it hits the mark!
Make-A-Wish Frozen birthday cake
I wanted to do something extra this year for the cute little Make-A-Wish girl who helped me unveil my Macy's ornament so I asked her to contact me for a free birthday cake. I didn't think she'd remember so I was so pleased when she reached out! So excited to see her face tomorrow.
Simple Wooded Wedding
Quick wedding cake in the midst of my chaos this weekend. Chocolate peanut butter.
Roseman painted flowers wedding cake
My favorite cakes are those I get to do for people I love. This was for my Janalene. Well, for her son anyway. I love combining painted flowers with gum paste flowers. You can't see in this picture, but since of the leaves and flowers are tipped with gold. This one was definitely prettier in person!
Gold and Orange Gerbera wedding cake
Sooo tired after two weddings and a sheep show, but I loved this one. This is one of my favorite venues... and my favorite Teresa with Mama Lake's was catering. This girl has good taste. 😁
Infinity Gauntlet Avengers birthday cake
40th birthday cake for my amazing brother-in-law Clint Kotter. The gauntlet is the "4" and the shield is the "0." I'm not great drawing people even in comic form, so I was sort excited they at least looked like the people they were supposed to be. 😁 I was so excited to finally do a cake for the guy who's been so great to our family! And I'll have you know, Drew supervised the whole thing to make sure I got it right. We adore you Uncle Clint!
Star Wars Tauntaun/Luke groom's cake
For my cute Wendy friend. Her son is a huge Star Wars fan so we decided that a red velvet Tauntaun reminiscent of the ardvark in Steel Magnolias was in order. This one was such a blast! I really love sculpting cakes. It's my absolute favorite.
Draper Fresh Flowers wedding cake
Cake for my sweet Laurel's daughter. I hate using fresh flowers because they never give me quite what I need, but I was happy with how this one came out. Simple/classic look. Thanks for trusting me with your big day friend!
Jackson Rustic wedding cake
This cake was dear to me for several reasons, first, because I made it for my "twin" Joanna (we were born on the same day at the same hospital only an hour apart and we've been friends since we were 4). Second, because the reception center is Laura Young's old house and so I immediately wanted to call Jan and tell her all about it. I miss her so much. I just talked to her in the car all the way home. 💙💙💙
Transtrum Retirement cake
This was for a neighbor who recently retired from the banking industry. I loved their ideas for this one.
Weber State University Automotive Competition cake
Quick cake for our competition Thursday. I had to finish it today, a long with 5 dozen cupcakes, because I'll be so busy tomorrow. I'm pretty beat, but I got the sweetest happy mail and hubby surprised me with Howard Jones tickets. I've seen him 7 times, but I love his shows every time! Super excited!
Tribe January Wedding cake
This one was for a dear friend of mine. They wanted winter/castle/wonderland with white and silver. It is always fun when brides send me their pinterest board and we can create something totally unique from the things that they love!
South Jordan City Candy Sculpture - Santa
Because of my Macy's Candy Windows, I was asked to make a candy sculpture for the city of South Jordan. The cool thing about these is that they use them from year to year so this one will be there every Christmas for a while. This candy Santa is 5'4" tall and is made on a metal base that my talented brother-in-law Clint Kotter made. Then I covered him in various forms of styrofoam and carved that. Then I painted him and added the candy. It was about the same amount of a time commitment as the ornament so about 100+ hours. But so much fun!
Disney/Greatest Showman Wedding cake
Wedding cake for my beautiful cousin Stephanie's son Padraic and his darling new wife Megan. It was a Greatest Showman themed wedding and they wanted the cake classy, but happy with sunflowers. I wasn't sure how to capture the theme with sunflowers, but hopefully I did it. Love you two! Congratulations!
Marble/Gold Wedding Cake
This was for my favorite Whitney friend who was the most beautiful bride I have ever seen! Thank you for letting me be a part of your day! And for letting me move the cake so it didn't topple. LOL
Morgan High Trojans Football Cake Auction
Morgan High Trojans Football Cake Auction - Every year there is a cake auction for a fund raiser for the football team. This year I traded pictures from a talented local photographer for cakes.
