Ocean theme cake

I made this cake for a sweet girl turning 2. They requested a whimsical ocean cake with lots of detail and little character animals. This cake was so fun! I loved making all the details. There is an octopus, 2 turtles, sting ray, 3 fish, 2 crabs and an eel..... starfish, urchins, sand dollars, coral of all sorts, shells, an oyster with a pearl, and seaweed all handmade out of fondant. The ocean floor 'sand' is sparkly brown cake sugar.

The inside of this cake was varying layers of color; purples and teal. So pretty! Thanks to my amazing client who snapped this picture of the inside of her daughters cake :)

Frozen theme cake

I made this beautiful cake for my sweet & spunky niece Brooklyn. She loved it! She requested a cake in the most popular little girl theme ever right now, Disney's Frozen. I didn't want to put the characters on the cake, I wanted to make something a bit different from everyone else.

I horizontaly layered paper thin aqua/blue fondant that I 'ruffled' to create this look. I used 5 different shades to achieve the ombre look. I added white sugar to the top and added a handmade Elsa crown. The crown was made of fondant and painted edible gold. And I couldn't forget the snowflakes. Everything was crazy dusted in my favorite ever edible glittering dust (the rhinestone band around the base of the cake is not edible, its plastic)

Butterfly theme cake & cupcakes

Butterfly theme cake and cupcakes for a sweet 6 year old (I made the same butterfly cupcakes last year for her).

The cake is ombre buttercream of pink, purple and white. I topped the cake as well as the cupcakes with handmade butterflies. Each butterfly is decorated differently, with embossing, some with silver pearls.

Pink stripes & quilted cake

This cake was requested to be an exact copy of a cake that the customer saw online. Lucky for me, the talented cake artist (Jessica Harris http://jessicaharriscakedesign.com/) that made this cake originally also has a tutorial on how she does it! It was an amazing help, she has wonderful techniques and tutorials. Check her out!

This cake is covered in pink fondant. The bottom tier has alternating pink/white stripes, bordered by a black fondant rope that swirls up. The top tier is quilted fondant with black dragees and a monogram M, topped with a black bow.

here is the link to her tutorial for this cake design:

Cranberry/pink wedding cake

Beautiful wedding cake I made last weekend. Horizontal buttercream, beaded border, with cranberry carnations & pink roses. It turned out gorgeous if I do say so myself!

Black/white/pink birthday cake

I made this amazing cake for a friends 40th birthday. Her theme was black and white with accents of hot pink. This is what we came up with...... Im loving it!!! I learned a new technique for this cake (stenciling), which Im dying to try again soon!

The top and bottom tiers were created using black royal icing and stencils. I love the patterns I was able to create. Im super happy with the result, especially for my first attempt. The middle tier is quilted, which I think is just the cutest. Topped with a black &
pink '40' frame, a few hot pink fondant flowers (created by my lovely sister Dezi) black, white & hot pink curly q's and hot pink beaded border.

Lego Cupcakes

The Lego theme is a popular one! Here is a few cupcakes I made with handmade fondant Lego blocks. Chocolate cupcakes with buttercream icing.

My sweet customer wrote me the next day to tell me what a hit these were with the (adult) birthday boy!
