Twins 1st Birthday Cake













I was asked to do a 1st birthday cake for twin girls. The mom wanted a 3 tier cake with stripes and flowers. She wanted it done in white, pink, purple, and green. She also wanted individual smash cakes for each of the girls. For the main cake, I alternated the tiers with white cake, chocolate cake, and white cake. I iced the whole thing in buttercream and added buttercream accents. For the smash cakes, I made two 6 inch white cakes and frosted them in buttercream adding buttercream flowers on the side and their names on the top.

Lego Cake


For my son Mason's 6th birthday, he wanted to have a Firetruck/Lego party. My husband is a volunteer firefighter and Mason wanted him to give firetruck rides at his party but he wanted to have a Lego party, so we combined the two. For the base of the cake I made a 12 inch round white cake. I made three 9x13 chocolate cakes. Then cut and stacked them to make Lego's. I iced the whole cake in buttercream. All the little Lego's added to the cake were made from chocolate. I added the firetruck to make it look like it was putting out the fire from the candles. However, I forgot to take a picture once the candles were put in it. Mason and all his friends loved his cake.

Tie Dyed Peace Sign Cake

















I was asked to do a peace sign cake for a girls birthday. I decided to try to make a tie dye cake. I think it turned out awesome! I covered it in buttercream icing. The birthday girl was so shocked when she cut in to her cake. Definitely worth all the work that went in to this cake.






50th Birthday Cake

I was asked to do a 50th birthday cake. I was told the lady's favorite colors were purple and green and that she loved fresh flowers. This is what I came up with. The bottom tier is white cake and the top tier is chocolate. I iced both with buttercream and added fondant stripes to the bottom tier. I also piped swirls with buttercream to the top tier and arranged fresh purple daisies on the cake.

How to Train Your Dragon cake


For my son Dominic's 7th birthday, he was having a How to Train Your Dragon party and wanted a castle cake. I made a 2 tier cake to look like a castle. The bottom tier is white cake and the top tier is chocolate cake. I used buttercream icing for the whole thing. After icing the cake, I added pillars to turn it into a castle and then added the dragon. Dominic and all his friends loved his cake!

Both tiers are iced with buttercream and the bottom tier has some brown sugar added for dirt. I also added some Toy Story plastic toys. Joel and all the other kids loved it!

First Holy Communion



I was recently asked to do a cake for a little girls First Holy Communion. They wanted 3 dozen cupcakes shaped in the shape of a cross. The little girls favorite color is purple. So I decided to do each cupcake as a purple flower. I made half of the cupcakes chocolate and the other half white. I iced each cupcake in white buttercream icing. I decided I wanted the cupcakes to look like chrysanthemums. I used mini marshmallows to form each petal for the flower. After all the petals were on I used Wilton's color mist spray in violet to mist the cupcakes. When I finished all the cupcakes, I formed them into the shape of a cross. Cassie and her mom loved the cupcakes!
