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.

Cat Lady Cake

There are few times in a cake decorator's life that they can make a cake for themselves instead of always making them for everyone else! This was one of those rare times, in fact the only time in the five years that I've been creating cakes, where I decided just to make something for me. I didn't really want to make a huge cake so I made a cake that was a little bit of cake and a little bit of rice krispie treats. The result is a cat lady surrounded by her feline friends, knitting away after a nice relaxing bath. And no relaxation would be complete without little bunny slippers.

The cake board was covered in fondant and then given the effect of wood flooring by hand painting it with gel. The armchair is also hand painted.

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.

Spongebob Cake

Spongebob Squarepants cake made with a mixture of fondant and sugarpaste for the cake toppers as well as the pineapple house that Spongebob lives in. All of the figures are of course hand made. This was for my husband's birthday celebration. Yep, my husband loves cartoons and never fully grew up. :)

Alice in Wonderland Cake

Alice in Wonderland themed cake for a birthday party. The Alice figure was made with sugarpaste and as well as the tree stump. The remainder was all fondant. The cake was chocolate mocha with hazelnut buttercream frosting.

Retirement Cake

Another cake for another retirement party at work. So many folks are leaving! The cake was a decadent chocolate with chocolate mud.

Monster's Inc Cake

This is one of my favorite cakes I've ever made. This was for a little girl's 3rd birthday party and she just loves the original Monsater's Inc movie. Mike was made from sugarpaste as well as the number three, which I had to hand cut out because I didn't have a letter big enough.

The bottom tier of cake was lemon poppyseed with lemon buttercream and the top tier was a 6 inch banana cake with banana filling and cream cheese frosting.

Easter Cupcakes

Duckie Cake

Rooster Cupcakes

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.
