Lion Grad

This was requested by a coworker who'd seen a similar cake on my blog.  (Yay, it's working!!)  Her son attends Granger High School and is graduating this year.  The mascot symbols are made of gum paste and hand painted.  Granger's colors are purple and gold.  For some reason the picture came out looking very blue though in person, it's true purple .

Trying something new

This cake was for the birthday of a long time customer. :)  I was given free reign on what to do decoration wise, so I tried out an hombre technique that I'd seen on a video.  The roses are hand made from gumpaste using another new technique.  Got brave on this one.

Duck Grad

This cake was for a graduating senior from Taylor High School.  Go Ducks!!

John Deere Cake


This was for a friend whose son loves his John Deere Gator.  The cake was shared with his classmates at school.  I think he liked it cause his mom got a HUGE hug from him after the party!!
p.s. big shredded wheat makes pretty good looking hay bales.

Sports lovers

Here area few sports related projects.  One was just a simple Broncos cake and the other was a helmet with a Thorndale Bulldogs Logo. I was also asked to make some simple baseball cupcakes for a baseball party.  Gotta love sports!!


Under New Management

This was an engagement cake for some folks at work.  I had been watching some videos on creating figurines so I tried my hand at it on this cake.  If you can't tell, the 'groom' is wearing handcuffs.  HA!
The figures didn't exactly look like the people but I got close on the groom.  The bride was much prettier than my figure but it was the best I could do after one lesson.

Congrats to them both!

Skylander's Swap Force

This was a cake for a big Skylander Swap Force fan.  I made the 'portals' and mom provided the figurines for the top.  I think they turned out pretty nice.  Just wish I had a picture of the cakes the toppers to see the 'final' final product.
