Nurse Aimee

Here's a gumpaste nurse for my friends sister, Aimee's graduation from nursing school. My friend Heidi made the cake and Gumpaste Aimee sat on top of it.

Beer Bottlecap Cake

This is a cake I made for a friend's husband's birthday. His favorite beer is Red Hook, so we made a cake that looks like a Red Hook bottlecap. The cake is a 16 inch chocolate cake carved into a bottlecap and then covered in buttercream frosting and red fondant. The gray lettering is fondant and all other decorations are buttercream frosting. The red fondant was brushed in red luster dust afterwards.

Iraq Deployment Sendoff Cake

My director is being deployed to Iraq for 10 months, so we gave her a surprise sendoff. The cake is a yellow sponge cake with buttercream and raspberry filling. Both layers were iced in buttercream before being covered in fondant. The bottom later is 12x18 inches and the top layer is another 12x18 inch cake carved into the shape of Iraq. The anchor (she's in the navy) and edging was completed with buttercream frosting, and her "mini me" was made from gumpaste.

Froggy Baby Block

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.

Halloween Cake

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.

Eye Cake

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! ;-)

German Chocolate Baby Shower Cake

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.

First Birthday with Stars

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.

AJ's Elmo Birthday Cake & Cupcakes

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.

Fenway Park

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.

Mooo!

This is an 8 inch double layer round cake that I made for a friend's birthday. My friend loves cows, so I decided to run with that theme. The cake is my newly named "Lemon Almond Awesome Cake" with a buttercream and raspberry filling. The entire cake was iced in buttercream and then covered in my "Moo" fondant. The cow is made of gumpaste and the marbled balls at the base of the cake are made of marbled fondant.

Princess Cake

This is a two tier princess cake for a 5 year old girl. The bottom tier is a double layer 8 inch round cake and a double layer 6 inch round cake sits on top. The cake is a plain cake with buttercream frosting. The flowers are made with royal icing and the banner and princess are made with gumpaste. Everything was also dusted with sparkles.

Guitar Cake II

Hand carved guitar cake with buttercream frosting sitting on top of a 12x22 inch cake for a friend's 8 year old daughter. Everything on the cake is edible except for the sticks.
