Fondant daisy cake



This was an order for a 102 year old's birthday. Her daughter wanted a small cake to feed three people. This is a 6" round, double layer. It is covered in fondant with daisy fondant decorations.

Abby Cadabby cake


This was an order for a one year old's birthday. Abby is tip decorated with buttercream icing.

Baby shower carriage cake

I made this for a good friend for her baby shower. This is a great pan because it is so versatile-you can decorate the carriage any way you'd like, and for any gender. Unfortunately, this picture doesn't have the greatest resolution.

Clifford the big red dog cake



This was my twins second birthday cake. It was before I really got into decorating, so it's one of my first. The reason why I included it was because of the dog house-it's a great pan that I have that can be used various ways. I used three of them in a row for the barn in the horse and barn cake. You can also make a haunted house, or a princess castle, etc.

Baptism cross cake

I made this for a good friend for her daughter's baptism. These were the first buttercream roses I ever did! This is fully tip decorated with buttercream icing.

Mountain bike cake


My neighbor was going to be out of town for her husbands birthday. She asked me to make and deliver him a mountain bike cake. This is a 6" ultimate chocolate round cake with a fondant mountain bike and fondant finish line banner.

Easter cookies and cupcakes with fondant bunnies and chicks







Gerber daisy cake and cookies

A good friend wanted her daughter's first birthday to be very special. She was very specific that she wanted a daisy cake, two layers, with a rhinestone in the middle.

The daisy cookies are decorated with pink royal icing. There are silver fondant rhinestones in the middle, with pink non pareils as accents.

This was the birthday girl's smash cake!! A three layered mini cake all her own!


This is a two layer daisy cake, decorated with the petal tip. The 'rhinestone' in the middle is gray fondant, painted with silver luster dust, and sprinkled with silver cake sprinkles. The bottom layer is yellow cake and the top layer is chocolate cake. A wilton flower pan was used for both layers and then they were hand carved to resemble the daisy mom wanted for her daughter.

Buttercream and fondant daisy cupcakes

This was an order for 30 cupcakes for a baby shower. The cupcakes were white cake with buttercream icing and fondant daisies.

Two tier square Christmas holly cake

This is one of my favorite cakes to date. I had an order for a cake for an annual Christmas party. She wanted something elegant and this is what I came up with. A two tiered square cake with silver fondant bow, and fondant holly and berry decorations.

Three tiered fondant daisy and dot cake

This is my very first experience with fondant! I was very happy with the outcome. The 10" cake seen here is an example of what the cake below was to look like.




My neighbor's daughter was turning one and she wanted a beautiful cake to ring in the occasion! She asked for a three tiered cake with fondant, daisies, and dots. These are 12', 10" and 8" rounds. Buttercream icing between the layers, covered in fondant with fondant decorations of varying sized daisies and dots. This was my first 'big' fondant cake.

Horse and Barn Cake/Horse cupcakes


Above are super cute and time intensive horse cupcakes I made for my twins birthday party at preschool. The heads were circus peanuts and the necks were wafer cookies. The mane and tail were piped with buttercream icing.
I made this horse and barn cake for my twins third birthday. The barn is yellow cake covered in red fondant and fondant detail. The horses were my first attempt with modeling chocolate. They were fully edible. The fence was painted with edible paint to resemble the wood grains. The bottom layer is a 14" square with chocolate cake and green grass buttercream icing.













Fall leaf fondant cupcakes


These were made for a fundraiser for my kids preschool. The cupcakes are chocolate cake, covered with a thin layer of buttercream icing and then fondant. There are fondant leaf decorations on top. *Note: that is my old logo on the cards in the background.

Super Mario Bros cake

I was asked to do a Super Mario Bros cake. I was given free reign with regards to the design. I purchased the Wilton Mario pan and tip decorated him with buttercream icing. I then put him on top of a 14" square which was covered in blue fondant to resemble the sky. I made the decorations of a brick wall, hills and mushrooms with rice krispy treats covered in fondant

Fun cakes!


This was a small hostess cake I did because I wanted to try out an new fondant imprint mat. You can see it on the blue fondant. Finished with blue daisies.

I made this for a terminally ill friend to brighten her day. This is a 6" round covered in fondant.

Zebra print purse cake

This purse cake was hand carved yellow cake and buttercream icing. It is covered in fondant and all accents are fondant as well. I hand painted the zebra print with edible paint.

Lionel O gauge Train cake

This was a fun process coming up with this cake idea. I had a request for a birthday cake from a daughter for her father's 70th birthday. This was all I had to go on. I asked her what her father's hobbies were or if he collected anything. In fact, he collected Lionel O gauge trains. I did my research and this is what I came up with! The train is yellow cake covered in fondant and was all hand carved and pieced together. The cake is a two tier 8" and 10" round covered in fondant.

Custom Hostess Gift

I made this as a hostess gift for a summer 'soiree' we were invited to. I was humbled when I was told the cake was actually used the next day as a birthday cake for the son's birthday!! The cake is covered in yellow fondant and has fondant beads along the bottom. The cake was a 10" square chocolate cake with buttercream icing.

Sunflower Cake


This was a fun little hostess cake I made to take to a playdate. The fondant is patterened and the top sunflower is three dimensional.

Purse and shoe cake

This was a very special cake ordered by a mother for her daughter turning 21. It was very important that there be 'bling', so she bought the fake solitaire ring. I made a white fondant pillow to hold the ring. She wanted a high heel which I made out of white chocolate, covered in gumpaste and hand painted a zebra print. The purse is white cake, covered in black fondant with a silver fondant bow which was dusted with silver luster dust. The martini glass was a last minute addition. I made fondant olives with a '21' on them to lay in the 'martini'. The cake is white cake with buttercream icing. The bottom layer is a 12" round and that sits on a board covered in fondant. The circumference of the cake is adorned with black fondant beads.


Standard and mini cupcakes


These are cupcakes for a one year olds birthday party. The order was for 45 standard cupcakes. There are small 1's made out of fondant, dusted with pearl and silver luster dust and then sprinkled with cake crystals. The six boxed mini cupcakes at the top were favors sent home to all who attended the party. The order was for 24 of these boxes, with six mini's each. There is an assortment of chocolate and yellow in there as well.

Zamboni Cake




I had a request for a Zamboni cake for a three year old's birthday. There were no specifics except that he wanted the zamboni to be blue. This is what I came up with. The bottom layer is a half sheet chocolate cake with buttercream icing. It is covered in fondant and decorated with fondant accents to resemble the ice rink. The zamboni is yellow cake with buttercream icing. It is covered in fondant with fondant accents, and brushed with blue edible luster dust. The controls are all edible as well.
