I love this time of year, so when I get an order for a Christmas themed cake, I just about jump for joy. This time around I made a raspberry mascarpone filled cake.
The reindeer was handcut and I handpainted snowflakes and the words Ho, Ho, Ho with food gel coloring.
I sprinkled a little edible glitter on the reindeer's antlers and on the red holly berries.
Merry Christmas!

Doc Mcstuffins Cake
I've been just dying to create a cake in the theme of Doc Mcstuffins, so when the client came to me with this, I was very excited. I used fondant to model the figures and the cake was chocolate and banana with cream cheese frosting.

Penguin Cake
Can you believe that in the five years I've been making cakes, that this cake is the first penguin themed creation I've made?! I had a fabulous time making this cake and was pleased with the outcome of the penguin topper. I had the very last minute idea to make a cupcake stand and use that as the holder for the penguin. I made the stand from gumpaste and let it dry, then painted it and sprayed it, and finally gave it a gloss by using a little corn syrup with water.
The cake was for a little girl's birthday celebration and the cake flavors were mint chocolate chip with mint buttercream. The penguin I made with fondant and I used a new brand that I felt took a long time to dry. I textured the front of his body to look like a heart with an arrow through it. The balloons were sugarpaste. One lone snowflake sits between the cupcake stand and the top tier of cake. I finished off the cake with little bows and ribbon at the bottom of each tier.

Winnie The Pooh Chalkboard Cake
I'm extremely proud of this creation and am so excited to share it with everyone. The cake was to celebrate the life of a child who struggles with a rare genetic disorder called Achondroplasia. I was so honored and delighted to be chosen to make it for this delightful child and her family.
The different tiers of cake were carrot cake with cream cheese filling, red velvet with cream cheese frosting, Nutella chocolate with mocha buttercream, smores with chocolate buttercream, and oreo cookie with praline buttercream.
All of the designs were hand painted free hand on the cake to make it look like chalkboard painting, and represent the different scenes from the beloved tales of Winnie The Pooh.

Dumbo Cake
Cake made from the story of Dumbo, who joins the circus and learns to "fly". Cake was made to look like the big top circus tent with Dumbo on top.
Dumbo was made with sugarpaste to give him firmness, especially his very large ears.

Snow White Cake
This is the second cake in my Disney Princess Shoe series. I used the same method as I did for the Princess Tiana shoe.

Cake Series
I decided I wanted to create a series of cakes featuring a different princess shoe based off of some Disney memorabilia that I own, and this is the first cake in the series.
This first cake is from the movie the Princess and the Frog and is the shoe worn by Princess Tiana.
A tutorial on how I created the shoe is below.
I initially had thought of using a shoe template I had found online, but upon looking at my vast array of shoes I had at home and realizing that there were a few pairs I didn't wear anymore, I decided to cut the sides off an old pair and use that as both template and drying rack for the base!
You will need the following items to create the shoe:
1. Gumpaste
2. Tylose powder (optional, but helps speed up the drying time)
3. Exacto knife
4. Edible Glitter
5. Edible Luster Dust
6. Glue ( I used a combination of water mixed with a little bit of gumpaste)
7. Shoe template
Step one
Cut out the template for the base of the shoe and let it dry at least overnight, but ideally for 24 hours.
I also modeled the heel of the shoe at this time so that they could both dry at the same time.
Step Two
Roll out a ball of gumpaste making sure to taper one end. Let dry.
Step Three
Once completely dry, attach the heel to the base of the shoe using whatever glue you've chosen to use, and let those both dry for a little bit before starting to attach the other pieces of the shoe.
Step Four
Using a template, cut out the sides of the shoes as well as the top strap that goes over the toes. Attach once dry enough and then follow the same for the strap and the heel of the shoe.
Step Five
After everything is assembled and has dried, dust the shoe with the desired colors of luster dust and then go over the dust with the edible glitter.
Viola! A shoe is born. Now if only I could actually wear it!

Elephant Bath Time Cake
A cake for a little boy's 4th birthday. I saw this design somewhere and I modified it a little bit. I loved the color combo of orange, blue, and brown for a little boy's bath time.
The cake flavor was banana with cream cheese frosting.

Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head Cake
I first sketched out the picture of what I wanted the cake to look like and then I went about painting it onto the cake free hand. it wasn't the easiest of processes but I was happy with the final result.
The cake was for a wedding where the couple wanted painted silhouettes on the cake to represent how they met and places they went together.
