This is a cake I did for a friend's sister's baby shower. The cake was modeled after a baby block and featured frogs and a train. The cake was a four layer yellow cake with buttercream and raspberry filling. The base of the cake is blue buttercream frosting and the decorations are fondant. The frog on top was made using gumpaste.
This is a cake I made for a co-worker's twin 6 year old boys, whose names start with "G" and "F". The cake is an orange flavored sponge cake and all of the decorations are buttercream frosting.
This is a cake I did for my manager after he had laser eye surgery. It's a spice cake with buttercream frosting (single layer 12 inch cake with a 1/2 ball cake on top). Thankfully he liked it and I got to keep my job! ;-)
This is a cake I did for a friend's friend's baby shower. The cake is a 10 inch double layer round german chocolate with the standard german chocolate filling (coconut, caramel, pecans...). The frosting is chocolate buttercream and I made the decorations (shells, blankets, baby blocks, umbrella, etc.) with chocolate as well.
This is a birthday cake I made for a first birthday. The cake is my "Lemon Vanilla Awesome Cake" with buttercream frosting. I carved one 9x13 cake into the number "1" and placed it on top of another 9x13 cake. All of the stars and "banners" are fondant. I curled some floral wire and put tiny fondant stars painted silver on each to have them "shooting" out of the cake.
For AJ's 2nd birthday, I made an Elmo cake and Elmo cupcakes. Both the cupcakes and cake are the Lemon Almond Awesome Cake, without the Almond in case there were any kiddies with nut allergies. Everything was hand decorated in buttercream frosting.
This is a cake I did for a friend's birthday. She is a huge Red Sox fan, and after I got my husband's blessing to make the cake (he's a huge Yankees fan), I set about making a small "replica" of Fenway Park's best. All parts of the cake, except the Green Monster are edible. The Green Monster is actually styrofoam covered in green fondant. Wally the Green Monster was made using gumpaste, the "fans" are regular and peanut M&Ms, and the brick side was made with fondant. (The Chick Fil A logo was added as a joke since we eat there at least once a week). Everything else is my "Lemon Almond Awesome Cake" and buttercream icing.
