Mickey Mouse

This fun cake was for a little girl's second birthday party!

Butterflies

This is one of my all time favorite cakes! It was made for a little girl's birthday party. The theme of the party was Fancy Nancy (a storybook character) so everything had to be really fancy. That was as much as anyone told me, "make it fancy!" and I came up with the rest on my own. When I got there, by an amazing coincidence, the whole party was decked out in butterflies! Three people contributed separately to the decorations and all of us chose butterflies! It was such a special day!

Purple Zebra Cake

This cool cake was requested by a little girl for her 11th birthday. I love making cakes for kids because they always force me to be more creative than I am naturally! I never would have thought of purple zebra stripes myself, but they look really cool!

Go Wildcats!

Since ORHS is my own alma mater, I had fun making this cake for an ORHS football player's 16th birthday! Go wildcats!

Polka Dot Birthday Cake

This is a chocolate cake with buttercream icing and fondant details.

Maple Leaves

Maple leaves are some of the prettiest fall leaves in my opinion, and they were my inspiration for this cake made to celebrate the retirement and birthday of a friend's husband. The bottom tier of this cake is chocolate and the top is vanilla. The icing is buttercream.

Tiara Cake

This cake was for a very special girl's birthday. She wanted a cake with a tiara theme and this is what I came up with. I made the jewels out of fondant. The tiara itself, I bought. I considered making one out of gum paste, but realized that for a preschool age girl, the coolness of that would be lost compared to a cheap plastic one she could wear. According to her mom, I guessed right on that one! :-) The cake itself is chocolate with buttercream frosting.

Troy's Transformer Cake

I have had the priviledge to make 3 birthday cakes for this special boy: his 1st, 2nd, and now his 3rd birthdays! His latest crazy is transformers, so naturally a transformer cake was in order!

Transformers Cake

Here is the latest in the growing trend of cake + matching cupcakes for kids parties! I love this trend, by the way, it's really fun and super cute! This is strawberry cake with buttercream icing. The picture of the cake looks a little weird because I nearly forgot to take a picture of it and snapped that one right at the last second....my appologies.

Mermaid Cake

This colorful cake with matching cupcakes was for a little girl's birthday party.

Sweet 16

This is a chocolate cake with buttercream icing made spur of the moment for a 16th birthday party. The flowers are royal icing.

A Cake For A Cook

This is a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. It was for a surprise birthday party for a lady who loves to cook. So, the top tier of the cake is a stove/oven and the vine going around the bottom two tiers has cooking/baking tools growing off of it!

Argyle Cake

This was a surprise 40th birthday cake. It's a chocolate cake with buttercream icing. Men's cakes always challenge me because my real talent is flowers. It's fun to think of different ideas!

Jennifer's Cake

This is yet another red velvet cake with cream cheese icing. This cake was for a 21st birthday. I love the lime green with the daisies! Such a fun combination!
