Carousel Cake


This cake was made for a themed luncheon celebration. The theme was a child's birthday party at the zoo! My inspiration was the beautiful fabric covering the table. The carousel theme would also make a cute baby shower cake!

Electric Guitar, "Camo" Style

I learned a new technique to cover this guitar-shaped cake with fondant. In order to make the "camo" pattern, I combined different colors of marshmallow fondant, kneaded it briefly, and rolled it flat. The birthday boy loved it!

Cowboy Birthday Cake


The fondant decor of this cake was fun to make! I hand-piped the detail on the bandana, as well as the denim pocket. The lasso that surrounds the bottom of the cake and encircles the cowboy hat is rolled fondant.

"Cars" Birthday Cake

Everything on this "Cars" cake is edible, except for Lightening McQueen, Mater, and the flags. Even the rocks are candy! The road is crushed chocolate graham crackers, and the "Cars" symbol is marshmallow fondant.

Red, Black, and White Wedding Cake


This square-shaped wedding cake is french vanilla cake with white chocolate buttercream icing. Fresh red roses sit above the top layer, which has delicate polka dots. The middle layer has black scroll work, and the bottom later has delicate dots. A red velvet ribbon surrounds the bottom of each layer.

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!

Cowboy Baby Shower



I was provided with a precious baby shower invitation as an inspiration for this cake. The baby, blanket, cowboy hat, and rope are all crafted out of homemade marshmallow fondant. My friend wanted Baby Brody's bum peeking out under the blanket with his little cowboy boots!
