This one was really fun to design and make. Each of the three tiers is covered with fondant. I didn't fully blend the colors in the top layer of fondant to give the appearance of a sky. The airplane looks like it's taking off above the clouds!
One of my favorite activities is creating beautiful cakes for special occasions! Please browse the site and e-mail me if I can help make your next event extra-special with a custom creation.

Book-Themed Baby Shower
This is a baby shower cake for a special friend of mine. Her shower them was "Books and More Books!". I stacked book cakes and labeled them with her favorite childhood stories. The blocks are rice crispy treats covered in fondant, and the giraffe and frog are full fondant. My favorite is Baby Dylan under the fondant baby blanket!

Easter Cake
Paisley Baby Shower Cake
This baby shower cake was so much fun to make! If I was making myself a baby shower cake, this would be it. The paisley detail was delicately cut from fondant and hand-painted. The cake was french vanilla with almond buttercream. The baby booties on top were rice crispy treats covered in buttercream. Mom-to-be loved this cake!
Anniversary Cake
This was a HUGE full-sized sheet cake that fed over 100 people. It took two strong men to carry it, and I bought a slab of lumber for stability under the cake. Decorating a cake this size presents a whole new set of challenges, but I thought it was pretty good for my first time. Half the cake is chocolate, and half the cake is vanilla covered in vanilla buttercream frosting! The roses are made with buttercream icing covering a Hershey's kiss. Very yummy!
Valentine's Day Cupcakes
Valentine's Day Cake
I made this Valentine's Day cake as a project for my latest Wilton fondant class! Inside, it is a delicate German chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream icing. My dad absolutely loved this cake. Since I made this cake while I was visiting my family in south Louisiana, I had some trouble with the fondant. The humidity got to the bow a little...I know in the future to let it dry a little longer in a high humidity area!
