Cupcake First Birthday

Cupcake First Birthday - This was for a friend of mine at work. It was fun to just be creative and do something fun again!

Two Tier Hello Kitty Cake

Two Tier Hello Kitty Cake - This one was for my cute friends Jeff and Melody...well...for their daughter Natalie anyway. :) It was a rush for me since we finally got an offer on our house tonight and I work a regular job now, but it was fun...I admit it. :)

Christian Louboutin shoe box cake

Christian Louboutin Shoe Box Cake - This was for a work friend of mine. These shoes were probably the most difficult shoes I have ever made. I am not 100% happy with them but I still had fun with the overall look of the cake. Maybe I am just out of practice now that I have a job. :) I just hope she likes it. :)

Strawberry Shortcake Cake and Cookies

Strawberry Shortcake Cake and Cookies - I don't usually like to duplicate cakes, but I just got this new toy and thought it would be SO fun to use to update this cake....and it was! I got a new mold that I used on the buttons and ribbon and I am so happy with the effect. :)

Trevor Wedding Cake

Trevor Wedding Cake - It is so much fun for me to do wedding cakes for people I knew as kids. The bride was so fun to work with and even though I am working full time now and had to stay up all night doing it, I still enjoyed it. :) Thanks Trevor and Stephanie!

Kung Fu Panda Po Cake

Kung Fu Panda Po Cake - I always stress over buttercream cakes with fondant accessories because the fondant is heavier and I can't put in as much detail as I like, but making Po was a blast. :)

Winnie the Pooh Shower Cake

Winnie the Pooh Shower Cake - This was for Ania as well, but for her friend's baby shower. I can't take credit for the design. She found the design on the internet. I wish I knew who to credit. But I loved how simple and sweet it was.

Soccer 16th Birthday cake

Soccer 16th Birthday cake - This one was a trade. Love those. :) Everyone says the soccer ball is a tough shape to master. Everyone is right. :)

Hand Drawn Winnie the Pooh cake

Hand Drawn Winnie the Pooh cake - This one was a first birthday cake, so of course it had a matching smash cake. I really LOVE drawing, so these are always fun for me. I also love classic Pooh and it was fun to get to draw some different scenes this time.

Wig cake

Wig cake - This was for Ania. I have done a lot of cakes for her in the past for her kids and other people, but this was my first time doing one for her own birthday. She told me the theme was "Sexy Wigs", and she wanted the cake to reflect that. This is what I came up with. :) It is fun having a blank slate sometimes. It kind of came out looking Lady Gaga-ish, but I guess that's ok because who has crazier, sexy wigs than Gaga?

Draped Floral Wedding cake

Draped Floral Wedding cake - This was a wedding cake that I did a while ago for the step-sister of one of my best friends. I did it quite a while ago but just realized it never got posted. So here it is now. :) Better late than never.

Yellow Sparkle Wedding cake

Yellow Sparkle Wedding cake - This one was for the cutest bride. I just loved her. My cute friend Vicky referred her to me and she was just a breeze to work with. Her one request was that she have sparkle on her cake instead of the pearls I usually use for beading. So we used non-edible sparkles for this one. I don't love doing that, but I have to admit, I really liked the 'sparkle'. :) Vicky told me that it must have been tasty too because there was not one piece for them to take home at the end of the night. Yay! I love when people actually eat the cake.

Purple Daisies Wedding Cake

Purple Daisies Wedding Cake - This one was extra stress for me. Early on in my cake making career, I made a cake for this bride's older sister. There was a misunderstanding about dates (before I started getting it in writing. *grin*) with her sister's cake and I ended up doing the cake in 90 minutes and only got there about 45 minutes before the reception ended. It was a disaster. So this time I wanted everything to be perfect. It went off without a hitch this time. :) Thank heaven! I am glad they are good friends and gave me a second chance.

Two sided Missionary/Baby Shower cake

Two sided Missionary/Baby Shower cake - this was a two sided cake, one for an LDS missionary who had just returned home and one side for a baby shower they were holding the same day. I was worried about using black on the baby side, but it was important to the flow of the cake. But I really like the contrast of the black with the lighter colors. Fun stuff!

Angry Birds Ham em High cake

Angry Birds Ham em High cake - This was a quick one, but so much FUN! I would love to have gone into even more detail, but I didn't have a whole lot of time. It was based on the Ham 'em High level (6 I think)that I am currently stuck on. :) It was yellow cake with strawberry filling.
