Cherry Blossom Bridal Shower Cake

I have to admit, I completely fell in love with this cake! Chocolate cake, chocolate ganache filling, vanilla buttercream and fondant. The flowers are gum paste painted with a little shimmer dust for dimension, the branches are brown fondant and each tier is surrounded by a brown ribbon. Thanks for looking! :o)

Father's Day Cakes

I had the pleasure of doing these two cakes for two VERY special Dads this weekend! Both were yellow cake, vanilla buttercream filling and icing and some nifty tie cutouts made from fondant with buttercream details! Had so much fun working on these for my own Dad and my Father in law! :o)

Ice cream cakes are getting more popular now that it's nice and hot around here! This was done for a Birthday - chocolate cake, cookies n' cream ice cream, whipped icing and mini oreos.

Graduate Cake Squares

These were cake squares I did for a 5th grade graduation - yellow cake, vanilla buttercream icing and some cute pics from Wilton! They were fun to do and I'm really happy with how they turned out, but WOW! What a process as there were 150 squares needed! :o)

Duke Birthday Cake

Well, this weekend was a first - not only did I make a Carolina Birthday cake, but also a Duke one! This was chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream filling, icing and details. Worked out really well with the Birthday guy's name being "Donnie"! Would loved to have had more time to work on this one, but ah well - being a last minute order this was about all I had time for. Hopefully next time I can get more detailed! :)

These cakes were done for a special Carolina Girl's 11th Birthday! The sheet cake was yellow cake with vanilla buttercream icing and fondant cutout lettering. The round cake was chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream filling and icing and buttercream details.

Red Velvet Grad Cake

This cake was done for a Meredith Graduate - hence the "M" on the cake! Red velvet cake, cream cheese icing for the filling and covering the entire cake and gum paste letters spelling out congratulations!

Cherry on Top Cupcakes

This was an idea I've had in my head and been wanting to try out for some time now - Finally got around to it! Dark chocolate fudge cupcake, vanilla butter cream filling, pink fondant "ice cream", white fondant "whipped cream", white fondant "sprinkles" topped off with a red fondant "cherry"! These were so much fun to make and I'm really pleased with how they came out! :-)

Teacher Appreciation Cupcakes

These cupcakes were done for Teacher Appreciation at my children's school! I started with yellow cake, added chocolate fudge filling, then a vanilla buttercream swirl and topped off with fondant/gum paste ovals imprinted with the words "thank you"! Each teacher received a box with one of each color cupcake.

Jungle Baby Shower Cake

This cake was done for a jungle themed baby shower! The cake was chocolate with chocolate ganache filling, topped with vanilla buttercream. The trees, dots, bananas and monkey topper were all handmade using fondant and gum paste! I loved how the little guy turned out for the top of the cake! It is impossible to look at that face and not smile!

Easter/Spring Basketweave Cake

This was a cake done for my Wilton class - a two-layer oval yellow cake topped with vanilla buttercream basketweave, edged with a rope pattern and topped with royal icing flowers.

Topper for Cupcake Tower at Wedding

This was the final version of the cake I did to top the cupcake tower at Saturday's wedding. The bride wanted black and silver dots since the cupcakes they had were topped with black and silver sprinkles and then I edged the bottom of the cake with a black satin ribbon. The cake itself was alternating layers of yellow and chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream in between each layer, then topped with white fondant and buttercream dots.

Small Cupcake Tower Topper for Wedding

These were practice runs for a topper cake I'll be doing for a wedding in April - this small cake will sit atop the cupcake tower for the bride and groom to cut. The wedding colors are black and silver, so I was playing around with some ideas for incorporating those colors!

Red Velvet Cupcakes

These were Red Velvet cupcakes topped with a swirl of Cream Cheese icing! Yum! :)

Mickey Mouse Cakes

These cakes were done for a little boy's first birthday. They were having a Mickey Mouse themed party, so I made a large cake for all the guests to enjoy and the Birthday boy got his own personalized mini-mouseketeer hat cupcake! I was really excited how the little cake turned out - it was so much fun making both of these!
