Painting for Rachel

This cake was made for the daughter of one of my best friends.  Rachel requested a painter's palette to go along with her party theme.  She was having a painting party at the local ceramics studio.  Her birthday party was a big hit and the cake was too!  We also created a special 'Thank you' cookie to include in the take home treat bags.   Happy Birthday Rachel!  XXOO

Hello Kitty 2

Here's a cake I did for a friend's daughter.  Elicia loves Hello Kitty. Unfortunately making just the head would not be enough for all the folks coming to the party.  So we added in a few touches to make it stretch. 

A wonderful beginning

This cake was made for my good friend Kamal and his wife Karuna who recently married in India and was served at a reception held in their honor.  I was able to try out several new decorating techniques including making gelatin butterflies.  I hope they liked it!!

Speaking of Monkeys

I made this cake for a friend at work who wanted something related to the Wizard of Oz...specifically the flying monkeys.  Her only other request was to have some legs coming out of the side of the cake just like the first witch in the movie.  I also tried using rice paper for the witch. It's a little hard to see, but the yellow around the side is the 'yellow brick road'.

Fancy

This was a wedding cake with ivory and black as the colors.  I was pretty happy with how the 'brooch' came out.

Monkeys

Here are a few monkeys I made after watching a u-tube videos on how to make fondant animals.    I think they turned out kinda cute!

A Great Cause

Every year at work, we have a Christmas bake sale to benefit cancer research.  This year I donated a cake and two dozen cupcakes to help out.  I had fun making these treats.  Some used techniques I'd seen on my favorite cake web site and some were 'borrowed' ideas from other blogs I visit.  See what you think.
