Tie Dye Cake

This was a tie dye cake for a lady's 60th birthday.  It was so fun and colorful, I couldn't help but dance and sing while I baked this one.  Buttercream icing and filling.  White cake was used to create all the colors for the batter, and I used a brush to spread the piped butter cream concentric circles.  The customer asked that I make the cake based on one she found on Bird On A Cake blog.

Shabby Chic Rosette Cake


Shabby chic butter cream rosettes atop a yellow cake.  So simple but fun and feminine.  This cake was the first one two sell, before the ombre cakes.  Would be great for a wedding, bridal shower, or just because!

Messy Ruffle Flower Cake


This cake was my first attempt at a ruffle.  Eh, need more practice, but I liked the upside down ruffle effect.  Yellow cake, butter cream frosting, teal top.

Fun Teal Ombre Cakes


Loved the way these cakes turned out.   They make for a beautiful presentation, they were the first ones to sell at a boutique I had a booth in.  Hot day too, but they held up beautifully.  Yellow cake, butter cream frosting.  Sorry about the late night photo.

Naked Cakes


Hate frosting?  Here is an option for ya...They still are filled and topped with buttercream though.  These are a vanilla cake with butter cream frosting.  I would like to try these with an italian butter cream one day, so delicious!

"Hyacinth" Cake



What a wonderful way for a young woman to celebrate her 15th birthday.  Brought it to church to give to her for her special day.  6" and 4" tiered cakes with purple butter cream ombre petals.  I only did 3 shades this time.  I call it a Hyacinth cake because it reminded me of the Hyacinths that pop up in my backyard, kind of like the picture below.

Hydrangea Cake

This was a small quick little gift cake for a friend a while back.  Wouldn't you love to get this on a random day?  Butter cream hydrangea flowers atop a 4" cake.

Angry Birds Cake

I used the Frozen Buttercream Transfer technique with this cake.  Also used two toned icing around the sides.  It says, Happy Bird'ay Jake...get it?

Happy Birthday Relief Society!

Thursday we had our RS Birthday celebration. I volunteered (I don't know why I do, but I have fun in the end) to decorate a table and make a cake that went with the theme of my table. I went for a sea theme. Because the cake turned out so well, I think I will start offering to make cakes for others, to get some good practice. Here's the pics (they didn't turn out so well, especially the table photos, sorry).
This is on my other blog, but since its about cake, I thought I would re-post it here.

Boy's Chuck E. Cheese Birthday Cake




This was a birthday cake for a little boy. It was requested that it have Chuck E. Cheese on it. I made him and all other decorations out of marshmallow fondant. Butter cream frosting, white and funfetti cakes with strawberry filling. It was big. I had 4 days to make it all, maybe less.

Winter Cake





I made this cake for our ward Christmas party. White cake with strawberry filling. Butter cream frosting applied using two tone color method (very messy!). The snowflakes and dome on top are made with royal icing. Some were dusted with disco dust.

Some Past Cakes

I love the fondant cakes I make now much better :) But butter cream frosting is so good too, sometimes!


A birthday cake for my niece's princess party
(the inside was checkered strawberry and white cake)
This cake was a cake-tastrophe, it was supposed to be a couple tiers tall, but it fell apart because of the checker effect, so one tier it was. It was the day of the party and because of the wreck, it didn't turn out the way I wanted :( We ended up being late too. Lesson learned.




A cake for my mother-in-law's friends birthday
(this was a chocolate and white cake with raspberry filling)


A cake for my brother-in-law's birthday luau pool party
(this one had a yummy pineapple filling between white cake if i remember correctly)
