A Harry Potter Birthday for Hugh!



This cake was a blast to do - thanks, Brandi, for calling me! Her big boy, Hugh, turned 5 this weekend and Harry Potter was the guest of honor at his birthday bash.
It was white confetti cake with cookies-n-cream filling.
Happy Birthday Hugh!

40th Wedding Anniversary Cake


This weekend was my parent's 40th wedding anniversary! Dad wanted to surprise mom with a fun party with friends and family - so he called me early in the week and asked me, "can you just build me a cake?" He didn't care what was on it or what it looked like so I took this opportunity to try some new things!

I have been wanting to try royal icing accents - I made a ton of pieces and almost all of them broke when I tried to attach them to the cake! I learned a lot about what works and what doesn't (mostly what doesn't!)

Bottom tier was white wedding cake with white buttercream filling, middle was yellow cake with raspberry filling, and top was chocolate cake with chocolate filling.

Garden Party Cake


My good friend is a member of a garden club in the area, and requested a "garden" themed cake for their get together tomorrow. She gave me free reign to do whatever I wanted....scary I know! But this is what I wanted!

Top tier is chocolate cake with peanut butter cream filling, middle is white cake with vanilla buttercream (tinted sky blue). and the bottom is yellow cake with chocolate buttercream filling. I'm getting hungry just writing this down!

Happy Mother's Day!


Here's another fun cake from this weekend - needless to say my kitchen is a mess! A girl I work with asked for a cake that was not too fun, and not too pretty but a little bit of both - I hope she likes my idea for her request! I love this cake - it's just so cute! The top tier is yellow cake with chocolate buttercream filling and the bottom tier is chocolate cake with white buttercream icing. Yummy!

Nursing School Graduation Cake


This is a cake I did this weekend for a friend of mine whose niece is graduating from nursing school! I am so happy about the way this cake turned out and my friend seemed pleased, too! It is a strawberry cake with chocolate filling - I made the cupcakes with little nurses caps on them for some extra cake since the party got a little bit bigger than expected!

Brett's Birthday Cake


This was my first attempt at using fondant. It was for my niece's 13th birthday party! The top tier was chocolate cake with strawberry filling, and the bottom layer was yellow cake with chocolate filling.
