Black scroll cake

Black scroll cake - I had forgotten how long it takes to draw and hand cut that many scrolls...but I think it was totally worth it. I would have liked more filler flowers for this one, but other than that I really liked how this one turned out. This was red velvet, spice, and french vanilla cakes. These tiers also had additional height per the bride's request.

Softball/Sand dunes Birthday cake

Softball/Sand dunes Birthday cake - This was for a little girl turning 12. She was adorable and knew exactly what she wanted. So much fun!

Percy Jackson Lightening Thief cake

Percy Jackson Lightening Thief cake - This one was for my little friend who has always kept us in clothes for Kymberly. :) She is adorable and wanted characters from her favorite book. She also wanted her cute little dog on the cake thinking of a hamburger. So cute! I had a ton of fun with this one and I hope it shows.

My Mind's Eye Penny Lane cake

My Mind's Eye Penny Lane cake - I no longer go into scrapbook stores to look at paper to scrapbook with. I look at paper and think, wow, that would make a really amazing cake design. :) This is the product of one of those trips. :) Colleen always lets me have free reign and I love her for it. I really have fun when left to my own devices. :) I have non-traditional dinosaur paper that I found if anyone is feeling adventurous. The particular inspiration for this cake was paper from My Mind's Eye Penny Lane line.

Snowboard cake

Snowboard cake - This one I was super excited about as well. I love it when my cakes get to be this personalized. This is the guy's personal snowboard, stickers and all. I really had a good time with this one. This one was entirely chocolate cake.

Scrollwork Bridal Shower cake

Scrollwork Bridal Shower cake - I was so excited when I was asked to do this cake. She showed me a couple scrapbook papers, a paper holder she liked and gave me the colors and this is what I came up with. It took forever to hand cut and freehand draw, all that scrollwork, but I love the end result so much! It was french vanilla cake with buttercream icing.

Rock climbing cake

Rock climbing cake - This was a last minute cake for a boy who is an avid rock climber. The cake is confetti cake with buttercream icing.

Regal Sunrise Houseboat cake

Regal Sunrise Houseboat cake - This was a cake I did last Thanksgiving. I am not sure why I never posted it. Maybe I didn't think it was good as it should be at the time? But I found it again and decided it needed to be posted. My husband's uncle invites us all down to Lake Powell every year to have fun on this cute houseboat. As a thank you for all their years of planning, I brought this to him on Thanksgiving. It was on Thanksgiving, so I was plenty busy and didn't have as much time to spend on it as I would have liked....so it is not as perfect as I would have liked. But definitely fun none the less. :) He loved it, which is really all that matters in the end.

WWII Airplane cake

WWII Airplane cake - This one was such a labor of love. First, it was for my husband's aunt, who I adore. Second, it was for her 90 year old dad who flew this particular plane in the war. I have such a soft spot for these amazing men who fought for their country and it thrills me to be able to do something that brings a smile to their face. The runway is half carrot cake half spice cake and the plane is rice cereal treats and styrofoam.

Strata/Iron Man cake

Strata/Iron Man cake. This was a cake I did for my little sisters friend. She couldn't decide if she wanted a cake patterned after her favorite album cover or an Iron Man cake. I loved the idea of the cake patterned after the album cover and the cover had so many cool elements. It ended up being a really fun cake to do.

Pink Scrapbook cake

Pink Scrapbook cake - This one was just a fun experiment with my new markers for a friend. It wasn't perfect, but I learned from it and I still think it is fun.

Classic Winnie the Pooh cake




Classic Winnie the Pooh cake - So...this is my favorite cake I have done in a long time. Not because I love the end result more than any other, but because I had SO much fun doing it. I drew every character on this cake freehand and it was the most fun I have had drawing in a long time. I love these characters and really enjoyed putting this one together. I think I spent 10 hours on this one, but I honestly loved every minute. Well, maybe not the minute when my mixer died...but every other minute. :) I took a picture of all the plaques before they went on the cake, so I am going to put that here too. :)

Littlest Pet Shop cake



Littlest Pet Shop Cake - This cake was for my littlest. She wanted specific characters and flowers on her cake and I had so much fun making this one. These little characters freak me out a little, but they are crazy fun to sculpt.
