  • American Girl Doll Box Cake

    I made this cake for my girlfriend’s daughter’s 10th birthday. She collects American Girl Dolls and when she asked me about an American Girl Doll cake, I thought that the box would be pretty easy. The American Girl Doll box is a beautiful box but it turned out to be a little tougher than I [...]

  • Polka Dot Cake

    This is my first fondant cake. My daughter wanted a fondant cake for her 18th birthday. After pricing cakes in the area I decided to investigate how to do it myself. I had tasted store bought fondant before and wasn’t too excited about using it for her cake. So I searched for a wonderful [...]

  • IPod Touch Cake

    A coworker wanted an IPOD touch cake for her teenage son’s birthday. Altogether, I was very pleased with how the cake turned out.

  • Ostrich Briefcase Cake

    For this cake, I just used a chocolate devils food cake as the base, cut & filled with a rich chocolate butter cream. To make my butter cream extra special, I used a good quality cocca powder. It makes the whole cake taste like your eating a block of chocolate (so my 80 year old [...]

  • Wonder Woman Cake

    I really enjoy cake decorating. I have been taking Wilton courses at an arts and crafts store and recently finished my last class.

  • Tractor Birthday Cake

    As an amateur cake decorator and dedicated mom, I made this cake for my son Connor’s 2nd Birthday. He, at the time, has become an expert at naming and identifying tractors so it was only fitting that his birthday party be Tractor themed.
    This cake began with a pan my mother purchased for [...]

  • Ballerina Hippo Cake

    I started with two 9 x 13″ chocolate cakes torted and stacked. I first carved the rump and body of the hippo and then the head. I used cupcakes for the feet. After carving the entire cake was covered with buttercream and then covered in purple fondant.
    The cake board was covered with green royal [...]
