Polka Dot Baby Shower Cakes

These baby shower cakes for little "Lochlan" are vanilla cupcakes with buttercream frosting. Each cake has a fondant circle with baby boy's initial. The shower invitation had multi-colored polka dots in blues/browns, so these matched perfectly!

Baby Shower Cupcakes

These baby shower cupcakes were very simple and elegant. Atop the buttercream icing lies a small circle of marshmallow fondant with the baby's initial in chocolate. This concept could be used for birthday cupcakes, bridal shower cupcakes, or any special occasion!

Special Birthday Cake

This was a birthday cake for a special lady who turned 80 years old. She wanted a wedding-style cake, white cake with white buttercream icing. I piped tiny hot pink polka dots around each layer. The cake was topped with a pink Gerber daisy!

Chocolate Decadence

This is a double chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream filling and chocolate ganache icing. I decorated it with chocolate curls and surrounded the base with gourmet chocolates. Yum!

Birthday Cake

This is a small, personal-sized birthday cake for a special mom! Inside is devil's food chocolate cake with almond buttercream icing!

Easter Cake

This cake was a for our Easter luncheon with friends. Grace helped me cut out the fondant flowers and butterflies! The inside is a delicate peach cake with peach buttercream filling and cream cheese frosting. It was light and lovely for a spring 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 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!

Fleur de Lis Cake

This was a birthday cake for my sweet friend Estelle. She requested dark chocolate cake with cream cheese icing. I covered the 4-layer cake with homemade fondant. I colored the fondant gold and cut out the diamond shapes to go around the sides. Each diamond was hand-painted with gold dust! For the fleur-de-lis and black accents, I started with chocolate fondant and added food coloring. I carefully traced and cut out the pattern, attaching everything to the cake with icing.

It was quite yummy and a big hit at the party! Best of all, the birthday girl (an avid Saints fan and true Cajun) loved it!
