My first Wedding Cake!

I made this cake for my Mother in Law's Birthday. This has to be one of my favorites!

Elegant Baby Shower Cake

Office Party Cake

This cake order was facilitated from the one and only Danielle for her colleagues Birthday, being celebrated at work!

Boot Cake II

This cake was a memorial cake celebrating the life of a wonderful woman. I was honored that I was asked to

make this cake!

Quick Cake

One of my husband’s employees happened to be working across the street when my husband mentioned it was his Birthday! I wanted to do a little something for him, but I knew he would only be in the neighborhood for a couple of hours. It was his 50th so I thought it would be cute to utilize some of my Halloween graveyard molds and do a simple over the hill cake. Using ingredients I had on hand this cake was baked, cooled, iced, stacked, decorated (not to mention creating the chocolate molds) in 2 hours! He loved the sentiment and his grandkids enjoyed eating the cake!

Owl Cake

My daughter requested a cake with an owl sitting on it for her birthday. It was a lot of fun to make the tree out of melted chocolate it was very tasty too!

Halloween Owl Cupcakes

What a great idea, not mine of course. I saw these on the Internet and had to try them! They are easy, just make cupcakes, take Oreo cookies and put m&m's on for the eyes, candy corn for the beaks and you have a cute owl cupcake. I made these for my sons class. I had to put aside my need for perfection and accept the fact that the kids won't mind if the white Oreo filling was not perfectly round or if crumbs were on them.

Tar Pit Cake

For my son's 6th Birthday he wanted a "tar pit" cake complete with "chocolate" dinosaurs stuck in the "chocolate" tar! He loved it, a you can see from his happy face below!

Varsity Jacket Cake

Another cake done!

This cake was for a graduation party made to replicate the Graduate's Letterman jacket. It was alot of fun and a lot of work.  As always I enjoyed the challenge!

Another cake done! This was for a graduation party made to replicate his Letterman's Jacket. 

Grass Blade Cake

This cake was done for sweet little Anistyn's 5th Birthday. She told me she wanted a cake with "chocolate in the inside, white on the outside, and ONE butterfly. The original order was for a single tier, but I just kept picturing the grass blades around the border with flowers. So I added to the cake made a little 5 year old happy!

Spa Cake

This cake was made for a "Spa themed" Birthday party for a special 8 year old. I made the slippers out of fondant, and attempted my first try at making makeup out of candy molds. It wasn't until SEVERAL failed attempts at coloring the melted chocolate that I realized you have to use oil based food coloring. I am excited to get the oil based coloring and trying it again!

Casino Cake

This cake was for my husbands 40th Birthday Casino Party!

Zebra Cake

This cake was for a baby shower. The order was for a zebra and hot pink cake, with the baby's name incorporated. It was my first attempt at making zebra stripes. In hindsight I would have added more stripes, atleast to the front of the cake! It was one of those projects that ran smoothly without any hiccups, which was nice since I was also preparing for my husbands 40th B-Day at the same time! It turns out the mom- to-be went into labor at the baby shower!

Daisy's & Dot's

This cake was made for my Beautiful Sister!

Hearts for my Sweet Heart

For my daughters 7th birthday I went very low key. She loves the look of a stacked cake but told me she didn't want the "bubblegum stuff" covering it. So while she and her friend played in the backyard I whipped this cake up! The girls were very pleased, what more could a Mom ask for? Apparently a trip to Build a Bear because thats where we went next!

Pirate Show

These cupcakes were for a pirate themed recital where my kids do gymnastics! It was right around Día de los Muertos, so I incorporated the sugar skulls along with the pirates! They were a huge hit with the kids and adults!

Wedding Ring Cake

This cake was made for a Bridal Shower my Best Friend Danielle was hosting.  Another cake that thankfully ran smooth because it was done at about 2:00am!

Aedan's 5th Birthday

This was the pirate ship cake for my son's 5th birthday.  His only request was it had to have a plank!

Flower Cake

This cake was made for a family gathering, very simple design.

A cake without fondant

So here it is, one of the few times I did not use fondant.  This cake was made for my best friends Birthday! Double chocolate, yummy!

Beach Cake

Another cake for a regular client of mine! This one was to celebrate her Wedding Anniversary, using her invite as inspiration this is one of my favorite's!

Polka Dot's & Hearts

This cake was done for my sweet little niece's birthday!

Polka Dot's

This was a last minute cake order, less than 24 hours notice.  Luckily I had made a batch of fondant the night before so it worked out well.

Fish Cake

My husband loves to fish so for his 39th birthday I made him this fish cake.  The scales were a lot of fun and I was quite happy with the multi color effect!

Black and White Cake

This cake was made to match the invitation shown!  Another great party hosted by my dear friend Danielle for her Mom.

Valentine's Day Treats

The cakes were made for the kid's teachers, the cupcakes for the kids!

Melted Smash Cakes

These were smash cakes made for my little twin cousins first Birthday! I tried a new buttercreme recipe which was very soft. Combine that with letting my 3 year old son carry the bake box, and record heat in Palm Springs. The mini cakes were DOOMED. Oh well the twins loved them and my husband reminded me life is short, so don't sweat the small stuff.

Castle Cake

The twin's turned two, so the little princesses needed a castle-cake!

It's hard to get a picture of the two of them...

Bandana Cake

This cake was done for a now-regular client of mine. She was having a Birthday party for her Mom whose nickname is "Boots". This was a very fun project, one that I am proud of.  


It's fun to look back at what I thought was my best work and realize my best was yet to come...

Butterfly Cake

This cake was for my daughters 6th Birthday!

Pumpkin Patch Cheesecake

I saw these cute chocolate trees made of melted chocolate in a magazine and instantly thought of making a pumpkin patch. I made this for my daughters Kindegarten teacher, after the kids field trip to the pumpkin patch.

Diaper Cake & Cupcakes

My first Diaper Cake! I made this for my "new mom-to-be" cousin who was expecting two twin girls! While I made the cake I let my daughter who was 5 at the time put the sprinkles and toppers on the cupcakes.

Train Cake

My son was then, and is still totally into trains. He was so excited to have a train cake with "smoke" to celebrate his third Birthday.

My First Stacked Cake, My First Fondant Cake, My First...

This cake was where it all started. My best friend Danielle asked me to make a cake for her husbands 40th birthday party. This was my very first attempt at stacking a cake and was the largest I had made at that time. It was also my first experience with fondant.

It's not the cleanest, neatest cake but I have to remember where it all started.

Thanks Danielle for all your inspiration over the years!

Practice Roses

This was my practice cake from my one and only decorating class. The class was fun but has made me despise the smell of crisco buttercreme frosting. We had to make so many batches of the stuff to practice various flowers. This is probably why I rarely leave a cake only covered in buttercreme and prefer good ol' Marshmallow Fondant!
