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.

Happy Easter

These are fun Easter cupcakes with buttercream grass with a Cadbury chocolate egg on top.  They are such a sweet addition to an Easter get together.

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.

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.

Flower Cupcakes

These are flower cupcakes frosted in pink buttercream with a layered fondant flower with an edible pearl center.  This particular cupcake is chocolate fudge cake that is moist and pairs up perfectly with our cream, ding-dong filling.  The coordinating flowers alternated between white, light pink, and dark pink, with a contrasting center flower.

Rehab Authority Cake

Did you know that Rehab Authority opened a new location today?  This cake was created for their grand opening and everything is edible.  The bottom tier is white butter cake with raspberry filling while the top tier is  chocolate pudding cake with ding dong filling.  Both are iced in buttercream and covered in fondant.  The top tier also has a quilted imprint with Rehab Authority's logo and silver dragees.  The man, table and dumbbells are also hand sculpted.

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!

Blue and Green Polka Dots and Stripes

I love the colors on this cake that is for a surprise birthday party.  Both tiers are a white butter cake with cream cheese filling, frosted in buttercream and covered in fondant. Yum!

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.

Memorial Service Cake

This cake was designed to the specific requests of the family.  It is a white butter cake that is iced and filled with buttercream.  The calla lilies are hand made and tinted with silver petal dust for a soft shimmer.  The family wanted a very simple cake to match the beloved memory of their mother who led a beautiful but simple life.  My best wishes and condolences to the family during this hard time.

Peanut Butter Cupcake

I wish that the picture did this cupcake justice.  We had a family reunion to go to and I wanted to try something new.  There is nothing like trying a new recipe on strangers!  It is a chocolate cupcake with peanut butter filling and peanut butter frosting. The peanut butter frosting stays soft and creamy.  My husband liked it so much it scooped some into a bowl and ate it with a spoon.  Pretty soon he was putting it on graham crackers, cake, and declared the recipe a keeper.  That means a lot coming from him! 

I topped it with a hand piped chocolate G for our last name.  We originally had them standing up, but with the high temperatures outside (and we will be outside), we laid them down instead. I like them a lot better standing up but sometimes we have to sacrifice in the name of practicality. 

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.

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!
