Mandy's Baby Shower


I absolutely love how this cake turned out!  It is a 6 and 9-inch tiers iced in buttercream with fondant accents.

Monster German Chocolate Cake

This is a monster of a German Chocolate Cake.  It is 6 layers, 10 inches across, of German Chocolate cake, iced and filled between the layers with the traditional coconut/nut icing made from scratch. This is enough cake to feed approximately 30 people.

Kayla's Birthday Cake


This is a strawberry cake, frosted in white buttercream with fondant flowers.  Happy Birthday, Kayla!

Rainbow Cake

This is a launch of a new series of cakes that are all about the cake.  The outside is simple, but the inside is amazing!  This is a rainbow cake for my daughter's 7th birthday and the guests (eight other 7-year-old girls) told me it "was the best cake ever!"  


The inside is 6 layers of rainbow-goodness.  

The new series of cakes are going to be simple.  Not necessarily white buttercream, but less decoration.

And they are going to be tall.

Next cake:  German Chocolate.  It should be delicious.

Make-a-Wish


I feel so honored to be able to make a cake for Make-a-Wish Foundation.  A very sweet little girl is turning 3 and loves princesses.  The top tier is Sleeping Beauty in a forest and the bottom is Ariel in the ocean.  I normally wouldn't add all the characters around (it's a little distracting), but I wanted to make sure that she had the full sets to take home and play with.

Both tiers are chocolate fudge cake with cream filling and buttercream frosting.  The accents are in fondant.  The carriage is covered in fondant and has all fondant accents.

Keldon's Farm Cake


This is a white butter cake with cookies and cream filling, buttercream frosting and fondant embellishments.  The cake is for a 1-year-old's birthday party and he loves his family's chickens so they decided to go with a farm theme cake.  Happy Birthday, Keldon!

Princess Crown Cake

This cake was made for a special little girl turning 3.  The cake is our made-from-scratch strawberry cake with cream cheese filling.  It is frosted in pink buttercream with edible pearl accents.  There is also a white satin ribbon to accent the white pearls.  Our buttercream is uniquely flavored with the tiniest hint of lemon (among other flavors) and is delicious.  Happy Birthday, Arabella!

It's a girl!


This cake was made for a baby shower for somebody expecting a little girl.  The theme was based around plates that said, "A New Little Princess" with polka dots in shades of pink and lime green.  The bottom tier is strawberry cake with cream cheese filling.  Our strawberry cake is made from scratch using pureed strawberries and is a taste of summer.  The top tier is white butter cake with raspberry filling and both tiers are frosted in buttercream with fondant accents.

Decorating Class

I was so lucky to be approached by a friend to give her daughter some decorating classes for her birthday.  Vanessa turns 10 today and she is such a sweetheart.  She did a great job and you would never know that it was her first "real" cake decorating.   Happy Birthday, Vanessa!

CWI Cake


I was fortunate enough to do a cake and cupcakes for the College of Western Idaho.  Both tiers are chocolate fudge cake with a whipped ding dong filling, chocolate frosting and finished in fondant.  The cupcakes are also chocolate with a whipped ding dong filling and frosted in buttercream.  Also, to be placed on top are a sculpted woman and podium, but it is best to only place those once.   I tried very hard to match the green, yellow, and red to the official colors of the college, and they are amazingly close.  Thanks to the college for letting me be a part of their celebration.

Polka Dots

I love how this cake turned out.  It is simple but so fun that it is perfect for all ages.  This is a white butter cake with raspberry filling covered in fondant with fondant accents.

Rocket Cake

Everything on this cake is edible.  The rocket is sculpted out of rice krispies and covered in gumpaste and fondant.  This happens to be a chocolate cake with ding-dong filling with a coordinating chocolate cupcake, also filled,  and iced in chocolate.

Princess Castle Revisited

I was  lucky enough to make another castle cake for a lucky first birthday.  I love first birthdays and there is something so special about them  Both tiers are confetti cake filled with buttercream.  I love how the sugar-coated turrets pop.

Transformer Wedding Cake

This wedding cake is as unique as the couple. The bride combined a variety of ideas to come up with her perfect cake. The bottom tier is white fondant with turquoise stripes. The middle tier is hot pink fondant imprinted with a quilted design and silver dragees at the intersection of the lines. The top tier is white fondant with turquoise blue dots trimming the top. Black satin ribbon trims the bottom of each tier, tying it all together.

Princes Castle Cake




This is an fantasy cake that any princess would love! The 11 turrets accent the two tiers that are covered in butter cream. The bottom tier is a white cake filled with butterscotch while the top tier is a white cake filled with our very popular raspberry.

Farm Cake

How I love this cake! I made this for a 3-year-old drawn from inspiration from the wonderful ladies at Pink Cake Box. I love them!The cake is a chocolate pudding cake filled with ding-dong mousse. It is frosted in chocolate butter cream and then covered in fondant. The animals and flowers are hand sculpted out of fondant and gumpaste giving each animal its own personality.

Princess Pillow Cake


This cake was a bit of a challenge, but I can't wait to do one again. This was made for a very special little girl turning 5 and a crown was later added to the top. It's very sweet.


The coordinating cookies were bagged with ribbons as favors for each of the kids to take home instead of toys.

Polka Dots and Stripes


 love the colors and design of this cake. I wish I could take credit for that part, but I borrowed the idea from the pink cake box ladies. I have since also made it for an 8-year-old's baptism. It was a surprise from her mother and she was thrilled!
