Gardenia Anniversary Cake

Simple little cake for a couple's 15th Wedding Anniversary! They requested purple and gardenias be incorporated and this is what I came up with. I was pretty happy with my first attempt at a gum paste gardenia! :)

Pirate Ship Birthday

This was a birthday cake for one of the sweetest little guys I know - our good friends' little one turning 3! He loves Veggie Tales and ADORES the Pirates Who Don't Do Anything, so Mom requested a pirate ship cake! The cake was strawberry with vanilla swiss meringue filling, covered in fondant with fondant/hand painted details. The sails were just printed card stock. :)

Leopard Print Baby Bottom Cake

This being my first attempt at a "baby bottom" cake, I was quite pleased the little feet came out looking like...well, feet! :) Strawberry cake, vanilla buttercream frosting and fondant details. I hand painted the leopard print design.

Zebra Print Cakes!

Zebra print cakes have been quite popular as of late! Worked on both a brightly colored zebra print Sweet 16 and a zebra print 21st! :) Hand painted zebra print on both cakes was fun to do!
