Songbird Wedding Cake


My sweet friend Michelle celebrated her Christmas wedding with a reception this weekend. She is a very talented musician, and she fittingly wanted a songbird wedding cake! The white layers are vanilla rum and the black layer is dark chocolate with coconut filling. All three layers are covered with fondant and decorated with gumpaste cut-outs.

Scavenger Hunt Cakes


These cakes are for a church Youth Christmas Party. They had an elaborate holiday scavenger hunt, so I incorporated it into the theme of the cakes!

Christmas Lights


I made this cake for an auction benefiting the benevolence ministry at our church. It fetched a high price!

Appreciation Cupcakes

I made these cupcakes for the Preschool Ministry Team at my church. They were Christmas-themed, but I used hearts to decorate since they were made in appreciation of all their hard work and dedication!

Brandy Alexander Cheesecake

For our Thanksgiving dinner, I made a Brandy Alexander cheesecake! It has a chocolate cookie crust and a light chocolate cheesecake filling with delicious flavorings. A dark chocolate swirl on top made it extra-rich. Very yummy!

Happy Birthday Robyn


I didn't realize it when I was fulfilling this cake order, but Robyn was a former student of mine. I love it when I realize what a small world we live in! The talented trumpet player in my middle school band is now a beautiful 28-year-old woman. This is a white chocolate cake with white chocolate icing and fondant accents.

Luggage Retirement Cake

I made this cake for the sweet music ministry secretary in our church. She is enjoying her retirement by traveling and visiting her numerous grandchildren! I was asked to create a cake that fit with the travel/grandkids theme. The two luggage cakes are covered with homemade marshmallow fondant and decorated with molding chocolate. The stickers repreresent all the places Sherrie will travel to visit her grandkids! I added a letter and a cup of coffee as a whimsical touch.
