Lego Harry Potter cake

Lego Harry Potter cake - This one was so fun. I love to do these Lego cakes. The game isn't officially out so I just looked at different Harry Potter Lego sets instead. It is vanilla chocolated twist throughout.

Pirate Ship with figure

Pirate Ship with figure - I went to find this cake for someone to look at and realized it was not on my site. I am not sure how it got overlooked, but here it is!

Umbrella Shower Cake

Umbrella Shower Cake - I have done this one a few times now, but it is a little different every time so I am posting again anyway. :) French Vanilla cake and chocolate filling.

Pink Funky Flowers cake

Pink Funky Flowers cake - As I said before, I generally don't post cakes that I have already done before. But this one turned out so much different than the original I had to post it. I wasn't sure I would love it in pinks and greens, but it was for a 1 year old, so this made it younger and more fun. Top was strawberry, bottom was vanilla chocolate twist.

Pregnant Belly Shower Cake

Pregnant Belly Shower Cake - top half was chocolate, bottom half was vanilla with strawberry creme filling.

Steelers cookies

Steelers cookies - These were a Thank You present for a wonderful lady who made my Layers of Love aprons. Thanks Susan!

40th Anniversary Swan Cake

40th Anniversary Swan Cake - I was really happy with this one. I love mixing fondant and buttercream this way. It is tough to put fondant accents on buttercream because the are so heavy. But I think when it is the other way around and you put buttercream accents on a fondant base, the result is beautiful. The roses and swans are fondant, but all the swags and borders are buttercream, yet you still have the smooth elegance of the fondant. This was made to resemble an original wedding cake, but we made it smaller to fit this occasion.

Green Monkey Cake

Green Monkey Cake - I know, I thought it would be weird too, but I actually love this one. :) The little girl wanted specifically a green monkey cake, it was adorable that she knew exactly what she wanted. Love that!

Texas Longhorns Cake

Texas Longhorns Cake - This was for a 40th birthday party. I did half chocolate fudge and half vanilla.

Stimpson Monogram Wedding Cake

Stimpson Monogram Wedding Cake - I really love that these simple classic designs are in right now. They make for very elegant wedding cakes.

Elmo cake

Elmo cake - I normally don't do sheet cake type cakes because they bore me to tears. *grin* So if I have done one for you, I must love you. But this one was kind of fun. I actually built his face on top of the sheet cake so that he looked a little more 3D. Not to mention sometimes it is good for me to work in buttercream so that I remember my basics. It also makes me remember why I despise working with buttercream alone, but it is still good for me. :)

Bear Hunt cake

Bear Hunt cake - Well, rice cereal treats this time. :) Quick last minute cake for one of my husband's co-workers who just got back from bow hunting.

50th birthday cake

50th birthday cake - I wasn't going to post this one because it was such a stress cake for me, but I decided it at least shows how I am under pressure. *grin* This cake was perfect the first time and I was so happy about it. Then someone in front of me stopped amazing fast for this little cat and the cake....well....at least the cat lived. I was a puddle of tears, but pulled myself together and headed back home. I had an hour until the party. The top layer was not salvagable, but the bottom two were not badly damaged. So I threw some rice cereal treats in a pan and recreated the top layer. Luckily, other than a few broken arms, noses and ears...the figures stood up really well. The man on top is a little shorter than he was, but all in all, a good save. It is still not as pretty as it was (unfortunately I didn't get a picture before I left), but for a cake that grew wings, not so bad either. :) Luckily, it was for a dear friend of mine and she was a sweetheart about the whole thing.

Airboat fishing cake

Airboat fishing cake - I was stressed about doing this one with how busy my week has been, but I adore this family and really wanted to fit it in for them and I am glad I ended on this note. It was a fun no stress cake and was a great way to end the weekend.

40th anniversary cake

40th anniversary cake - french vanilla and raspberry all the way through.
