With this Ring....


This was an engagement cake for a friend's brother.  I was asked to incorporate some of the bride-to-be's actual ring design into the cake.  The idea for the cake was to make it look like a 'ring box'.  I used several techniques I've learned on this cake including, airbrushing the ring silver and making a decorative stencil on the box using icing.  The cake itself was made from alternating chocolate and white cake layers with a chocolate ganache in between the layers.    The 'lid' of the box was made from rice crispy treats and covered in icing.

Ooooooooooooohh Toooooooooooooooooooooooodles!!

I love the Mickey Mouse playhouse show so when I was asked to make a Toodles cake for Miss Baylen's 2nd birthday, I was all in!!  This cake was super fun to make.  I made it  a personal challenge to use only buttercream decorations.  I think it turned out pretty awesome..even if I do say so myself.  :)  And did I mention this was a MOUNTAIN of cake?  This was a big 12 in bottom and 2, 6 inch double layer cakes!!

1st Birthday

For this birthday cake, there was a little red wagon theme.  So, I made a red wagon for the top and a big 1 for the birthday boy.  I also made a separate smash cake for Aiden to enjoy.

Graduation Cakes


Two of my work friends both from Taylor and both with sons who were graduating, asked for cakes.  I was able to get parts of the decorations done ahead of time which helped out!  Go DUCKS!!

Birthday for Sarah

This cake was for my friend Tracy's daughter.  The flowers are hand made out of gumpaste.
