'Jem' birthday cake

Does any one remember the TV show "Jem?"  Well, I do, and so does the birthday girl who got this as a surprise on her birthday!!  Zebra stripes, stars, pink, pink electric guitars!!  What more could a girl want, right?  Happy Birthday, Christal!  I'm glad you got a little spoiled on your big 3-0 birthday!!!

It's all edible except the wires holding up the stars!!!

Back-to-School apple cupcakes

Okay, so, my baby was pretty sick the last week and a half or so, so when my kids decided to have a back-to-school party and wanted a 'cake' I just didn't have the time to do anything too involved.  These didn't turn out quite like I wanted them, and they ended up being a lot of work anyway, but the kids DEVOURED them, so I guess they were worth it!

 Apple spice cupcakes with cream cheese frosting.  They were SOOOO yummy!  Red sprinkles, tootsie roll stems and modeling chocolate leaves.  Really fun for the kids.

Kinda cute, huh?

Army Retirement Cake

Well, I was going to take a break from cakes, but when my friend asked if I could do an Army retirement cake for her husband, I couldn't say no.  The soldiers of our country are what make America what it is today!  I love this country, and I love what the soldiers stand for.  Freedom, honor, strength, family.  Thank you, soldiers of America!!!!  I love living in this country!!!

Jeep Rock Climbing Birthday Cake

 This picture shows the picture I was basing this cake on.  Pretty impressive in itself!  My friend's husband got this picture in a calendar and wanted to surprise him with a cake made to look like his impressive skills.

 I have to say, it was really fun doing this.  No fondant, just the cake built up then frosting and cinnamon and food coloring for the rocks.  The Jeep is cocoa pepples treat with modeling chocolate.

Notice the 'dirt' on the wheels?  Very fun cake that was a hit at the birthday party!  Happy Birthday, Max!

16 Candles "They Say It's Your Birthday" Birthday Cake

 Okay, I'll admit I had to rent the movie and watch the scene to get a good sense of what I needed to do for this cake.  I'm very visual, and I couldn't find any pictures for this cake, so the car wasn't quite like I wanted it, but it still turned out pretty fun.

And, I'm still not very good at people, thus the cute little smiley faces.  But, the actual cake?  HEAVEN!  Lemon cake, with lemon butter cream frosting and lemon curd filling!  And, gluten free.  SO yummy!!!

Spanish Lace Wedding Cake

This is a wedding cake I did for a friend's daughter.  When I first saw what the bride wanted I was kind of afraid I wouldn't be able to do it, but wow, it was such a joy to make this cake!  The black was all piped on with a mixture of butter cream frosting and decorators gel.  I used pictures to look at while piping so I got it just right.  Really, this was my favorite cake ever!

Legend of Zelda, Shield and Sword cake

 My sweet son just wanted a Legend of Zelda Cake for his birthday.  I did one last year for my older son that he wanted, but I just didn't want to go to all that work.  Well, this was a lot of work too, but a little funner.  He LOVED it!  And that's what makes my day.  Very fun for all of us.

And this was the inside!  Lemon cake, cheesecake, lemon curd, more lemon cake, and lemon butter cream frosting.  All gluten free.  The most delicious cake on the planet!
