Canon Camera

This birthday cake was a new experience on a few fronts! First, because it was the first time I have sculpted a camera (made from Rice Krispie treats and covered with fondant). Second, the birthday girl is not a fan of conventional birthday cakes, so asked for Skor Cheesecake instead.

I've done cheesecakes in the past, but I have to admit, it's been a while and my cheesecake skills are a little rusty!

*Unsolicited tip: Bake your cheesecake at a lower temperature (275F) with a pan of water in the oven. This should help prevent the top from cracking when you take it out.

Birthday Lace

I loved this cake so much, I couldn't choose just one picture to post!
It was gluten free Pumpkin Spice Cake with Vanilla Buttercream.

Skateboard

A Tony Hawk skateboard cake for a very lucky little 5 year-old! (Don't worry if you don't know who Tony Hawk is, I didn't either until I received this order) Vanilla Cake with Vanilla Meringue Buttercream.

Lego Cake

I was lucky enough to make two Lego cakes this week. The top one was for a 12th birthday and was Vanilla cake with Vanilla Buttercream. My son enjoyed watching me make it so much that I decided to make him on for his 3rd birthday a few days later. It was Pumpkin Spice cake with Vanilla Meringue Buttercream.

American Thanksgiving

I am blessed with several American friends. Part of the blessing means I get to enjoy two Thanksgiving dinner's every year. This year I made a little treat to take along. It was Vanilla cake with Cream Cheese buttercream and Strawberry fruit filling.

Hollywood

Best friends were celebrating their "Sweet 16" with a joint, Hollywood themed birthday party, and they asked me to do this cake for them. It was Chocolate and Vanilla cake with Chocolate Fudge buttercream.

I was excited to create this Nautical themed wedding cake recently. It was Vanilla cake with Cream Cheese Buttercream and Strawberry filling ~ it tasted just like strawberry cheesecake!

Pumpkins

This fun fall themed cake was requested for no reason other than the customer wanted a cake! It was Black Forest cake with Vanilla Meringue buttercream.

Sea Shells

This cake was for a 20th Anniversary party. The cake was Banana cake with Vanilla Cream Cheese Buttercream, with hand made gum paste shells and royal icing coral.

P.S. While I'd like to take the credit, I should mention that I didn't make the cake topper - it was store bought:)

General Lee

Here is a fun cake that was a birthday surprise for the recipient. It was a Black Forest cake with Meringue Buttercream.

This cake was for a beautiful, fall-themed wedding. Each tier was a different flavor: Chocolate cake with Mocha Meringue buttercream, Vanilla cake with Vanilla buttercream, and Pumpkin Spice cake with Cream Cheese buttercream.

Red Circles

This was a design I've been wanting to try for a while; it would make a beautiful tiered cake. This was Vanilla Cake with Lemon Custard and Vanilla Buttercream.

Ivory Wedding

My first wedding cake! I was so excited when a lovely couple took a chance on me to make their wedding cake, even though I hadn't done one before. Even more exciting was venturing into the world of gluten free baking. The top tier was Gluten Free Orange Cream cake layered with Raspberry Cream and Vanilla Buttercream. The bottom two tiers were Vanilla Citrus cake, also layered with Raspberry Cream and Vanilla Buttercream.

Ring Cake

This was a design idea I've been wanting to try for a little while. Since there was no special event involved, my hubby's work was the lucky recipients! It too was Vanilla Citrus cake layered with Raspberry Curd and Vanilla Buttercream.

Pink & Brown Baby Girl

As I've mentioned before, there is an abundance of little girl babies being born in my area, and this little treat was for one of them. I was given free reign so I made my new favorite flavor: Vanilla Citrus layered with Raspberry Curd and Vanilla Buttercream. A deliciously fresh taste of summer!

This "tower" cake was a special request of my special 4 year old. It was to be tall (check!), grey (check!), and have black windows (check!). Chocolate cake with cherry filling and Meringue buttercream.

Happy Birthday GEMS

Vanilla and Chocolate cake layered with vanilla buttercream. This pretty, spring cake was for the final meeting of the season of a girls club called GEMS. They were celebrating all their birthdays!

This was a really exciting cake to make. I learned how to airbrush for this cake, and I was thrilled with the results. It was for a retirement party for a missionary who had spent many years working in Africa. Bottom layer - Vanilla cake with Vanilla buttercream and Strawberry filling. Top layer - Spice cake with Vanilla buttercream.

Third Time's the Charm for Thomas!
