Monkey Cupcakes

These are cupcakes I made for a co-worker's baby shower. She loves red velvet cake, so the cupcakes are red velvet with a pale blue tinted cream cheese frosting (she's having a boy).

The monkeys are made of gumpaste, fondant, and royal icing.

Snowball Cake

This is another cake I made for our 4th of July cookout.  The "cake" is basically a trifle composed of angel food cake and a mixture of strawberries, jello, and whipped cream.

 I topped the dish with cut strawberries and blueberries.

Red, White & Blue Mini-Cupcakes

I made these mini-cupcakes for our 4th of July cookout.  The cupcakes were a butter vanilla white cake. 

I colored the batter so that each cupcake was a layer of red, white, and followed by a layer of blue.  The icing is buttercream and the stars are fondant.

Farewell Blackberry Cake

This is a cake I made for a co-worker who is moving to Tennessee.  He was very attached to his BlackBerry so I thought this was an appropriate send off for him!

It's a 12x18 chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream and covered in fondant.

Details were made using royal icing.

Graduation Cake

This is a graduation cake I did for my neighbor's daughter.

 There are three tiers of WASC cake with buttercream frosting and then covered in fondant.

Letters and numbers are royal icing and the top of the hat is cardboard covered in fondant.

Relay for Life Bake Sale Cakes

This is a cake I made for a bake sale fundraiser at work to support our Relay for Life team. It's a two tier 8 inch chocolate cake with buttercream frosting. It is covered in fondant. The tree trunk is chocolate fondant and the remaining decorations are vanilla fondant.

This is another fundraiser cake I made for the bake sale. It's a two tier 8 inch white vanilla lemon sour cream cake with a lemon curd filling and buttercream frosting. It is covered in fondant. All decorations are vanilla fondant.

This is the final fundraiser cake I made for the bake sale. It's a two tier 8 inch red velvet cake with buttercream frosting. It is covered in light blue fondant with chocolate brown and white vanilla circle decorations.

Hokie Bird Graduate

A friend of mine's daughter is graduating from Virginia Tech this week.

So, of course being a Hokie myself, I had to make her a Hokie Bird Cake!

The cake is a double layer Lemon-Almond-Awesome Pound Cake covered in buttercream frosting.

I then covered the cake in fondant. The wording and "Hokie Feet" are royal icing.

The Congratulations banner and graduation hat are gumpaste.
