Let it Go!!!!!!!



This cake is for a very special birthday girl who loves Frozen. The original picture had just the top three characters but we added in a few more.  The snowflakes were cookie cut outs and then using smaller cutters, I gave them some extra character.  The main part of the cake is covered in buttercream and the snowflake accents were gumpaste or sprinkles.

"It's my spirit animal"


They can be real on a cake.  Happy 15th Landon!

This spells Love



This was a cake for a Scrabble lover's birthday.  It  had some extra special messages built right in.  The scrabble tiles and  tile trays were made by hand.  The board was hand painted. 












Curious George - almost

This was cake I made for a boy's second birthday party.  It was ultimately going to be topped with a Curious George topper.  The  polka dots and 'ribbon' was made from modeling chocolate.  Much better flavor than fondant.

Christmas at work



 I made these treats for a fundraiser at work.  I saw a little video on how to make a mini cupcake tree and wanted to try it out.  I think it turned out pretty cute.  I used almond M&Ms and Mike and Ike candies to make 'lights' for the tree. 

Would anyone like a 'Pez' of cake?



This was a birthday cake for a PEZ collector.  We decided to make the 'head' a cake since it seemed the most appropriate.  The entire cake is covered in buttercream only.  The only items fondant are the fake 'candles'.


New Baby on the Way!


 This cake was for a little football star on the way.  The little feet were made of modeling chocolate, the (1/2) football was rice crispy treat.  Hmmm I wonder what team they like?

Little Pumpkin



This cake was for a  little girl's 2nd birthday.  The cake is all buttercream icing.  The leaves on the pumpkin are made with fondant, the stem of modeling chocolate.The acorns are made of caramels and tootsie rolls!
