Red and Black Floral Birthday Cake

I used pre-colored red and black Satin Ice fondant for this cake.  The flowers were made with a set of metal flower cutters.  I simply layered the flowers and added a bit of texture to them with a toothpick.

Pink and Green Baby Shower Cake

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

This fabulous cake is comprised of layers of vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream frosting.  I covered the cake using pre-colored Satin Ice fondant.  I have to say that I LOVE the pre-colored fondant.  It saved about 30 minutes of time because I didn’t have to add drops of color one at a time.  I would recommend this product to anyone.  The booties, nameplate, pacifier and bows were all handmade using gumpaste.

Golf Cake

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

This cake was for my husband’s birthday. He loves golf! The cake was layers of chocolate and vanilla cake with peanut butter frosting. I used vanilla Satin Ice fondant to cover the cake and Americolor gel colors to dye the fondant. I have seen other cake with a golfer blowing a ball into the hole and decided to do my own twist. All of the figures are hand sculpted. I had a blast making this cake!!

Batter’s up!

Wednesday, April 7th, 2010

This was a great cake to make!  It was my first time using a 3D ball shapped pan and although I was quite intimidated by the pan, I jumpped right in and it turned out amazing!

I also included a bunch of baseball cupcakes with the order!

Teal and Brown Wedding Cake

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

For the diamond or quilted pattern on this cake cake I used the small diamond quilting marker made by Creative Cutters.  Then I used the Wilton embossing wheel to go over the markings.  This helped add a little bit of texture to the lines.

Monkey Cake for a Baby Shower

Monkey Cake

Baby Booties / Sneakers

Monkey Close Up

Palm Tree Close Up

This was a fun cake to make.  Everything you see was made from scratch.  I like to make the figures 2-3 days before the cake is due to let them have optimal drying time.  I always use Satin Ice fondant as well as gumpaste.
