  • Flower Pot Cake

    I love making special cakes for my family members! I enjoy coming up with an idea specifically for that person and then trying to turn it into a cake! I’m self taught, so it takes quite a bit of time, but if I can do it, anyone can do it.
    I decided to make [...]

  • Under the Sea Cake

    This Under the Sea cake consists of a 10″ Yellow double Layer cake and 12″ Chocolate double Layer cake filled and covered with non-dairy whipped frosting. The fish, seashells, & starfish are all made with marshmallow fondant that I made at least a 3 days in advance.
    The undersea grass, coral, boat, and water [...]

  • Fresh Fish Cake

    This cake was created as a surprise for my cousin’s birthday. He loves fishing so I figured a fish cake would go over swimmingly!
    This is a yellow cake in which I added a bit of banana extract for additional flavor. I began with two rectangular layers of the cake and carved out the fish, minus [...]

  • Kai-Lan Cake

    I baked this cake for my daughter’s 4th birthday party. She wanted a Ni Hao, Kai-Lan themed party (it’s an educational cartoon on Nick Jr.) I made a two tiered vanilla cake…each tier has two layers with cream cheese frosting and fresh sliced strawberries.
    I did a crumb coat of buttercream frosting and covered it [...]

  • Disney Ratatouille Cake

    This delicious cake was inspired for my daughter’s 5th birthday party where 18 kids made their own pizzas and baked their choice(s) of 3 cookie recipes that had been reduced to individual batches of 8-12 cookies per batch.
    What’s a cooking party without just a hint of the lovable characters from Disney’s Ratatouille? This cake’s 12″, [...]

  • Sushi Platter Cake

    This is a birthday cake with a sushi theme. Everything was edible except the chopsticks. The cake was a 12″ square, 2 layer chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling and chocolate buttercream icing. The sides were combed to give a bamboo look and the edges were decorated with a basic border and leaves. The plate [...]

  • Shoe and Hand Mirror Quilted Cake

    This is for my daughter’s ninth birthday party. She “designed” it, and told me what she wanted on it, and then I had to figure out a way to actually DO it!
    The entire cake is edible EXCEPT for the tinfoil in the mirror, and the plastic jewels in the jewelry box! I had every [...]

  • Hoss’s Salad Bar Cake

    I made this cake for my mother-in-laws birthday. She is an avid fan of the salad bar at our local Hoss’s, so we decided to replicate it in cake!
    My husband fashioned a “sneeze guard” out of wood and plastic and I created the remainder of the items out of fondant, royal icing and cake. [...]

  • 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 [...]
