Boys' Gymnastics Birthday Cake


My godson Evan requested a gymnastics cake for his 8th birthday! He specifically wanted a picture of him doing an "Iron Cross" on the rings. The figure is made out of homemade marshmallow fondant. It's hard to tell, but I sculpted a six-pack of abs on the little guy. Evan was delighted and proceeded to show all his party guests his real six-pack. Seriously, he's the most muscular and fit 8-yr-old I've ever seen!

Raggedy Ann Birthday Cake



This Raggedy Ann cake was for a very special 5-yr-old birthday girl. The frosting and edgings are buttercream icing, and the Raggedy Ann is made out of homemade marshmallow fondant.

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!

Flowers and Butterflies Birthday Cake


The five-year-old girl that I made this cake for wanted a "happy" cake with colorful flowers, butterflies, bumble bees, and a rainbow!

Ballerina Cake

I can't describe how much joy it gave me to make this cake for my daughter's first ballet recital! The look on her face was priceless when she saw it for the first time. Literally speechless. The ballerina is a fake Wilton doll with a fondant foot. The top of her tutu is a thin rolled piece of fondant with buttercream ruffles underneath. Grace wanted a pink cake inside, so I baked a fresh strawberry cake with strawberry buttercream filling and cream cheese icing.

Graduation Cake

My sweet friend Estelle completed her master's degree in education! We celebrated with a fun family picnic in a local park, and I got to bring the cake! This is a dark chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream, covered in marshmallow fondant work.
