Princess Castle Cake

Yes, it had to be done eventually!  A castle cake for a sweet little girl!  My 3 year old kept watching me, wanting to eat the 'pink modeling chocolate!'  She's got it all figured out!  It's all edible except the little princesses that were provided by the mom of my little customer.  So perfect for a little girl!

Happy Birthday, Kamri!!!

Steampunk Iron Man Cake

Okay, this cake was EPIC!  My sister LOVES Iron Man (well, anything Robert Downey Jr.) and loves Steampunk.  Yes,  I had to google Steampunk.  Pretty cool stuff!  It was so fun to make and made my sister beyond happy!  And that's what it's about for me!  Happy clients!
 The mask, with lit up eyes
 Gears and wheel

 YES, it GLOWS IN THE DARK!!!  You can't tell in the pictures, but the little battery operated tea light candles I put inside the mask and arch reactor actually flickered.  It was a VERY cool effect! 
 Arch reactor
 Little 'I' 'hammered' into the 'steel'
 Steam punk clock
 Gears and more gears
 Glow in dark mask
And the back of the cake.
It really was something to behold.  It was a joy making it every step of the way!!!  Happy birthday, Becca!!!!!

Mardi Gras Birthday Cupcakes

These were so fun to make.  Sometimes it's nice to do a little bit easier project.  I loved the colors and fun theme of this sweet 16 party!  The stars and beads are a mix of gum paste and modeling chocolate.

Harry Potter Hedwig Owl Cake

Here's an adorable Hedwig cake I made for my daughter's birthday.  We made potions and each child got their own wand from Ollivander's shop.  We had candles all over and the curtains closed.  We played Harry Potter trivia and let the kids 'cast spells.'  It was so much fun!
 Hedwig was made with 4 6" circle cakes and 2 4" cakes with the top of a cupcake to round off the head.  Sculpted to be shaped like an owl, then frosted and covered in feathers made of sculptable butter cream mixed with a little gum paste.  The glasses are gum paste and the scarf is modeling chocolate.  Truly a magical party and cake!  (It was hard to eat such a cute cake!!)
The layers of cake for Hedwig!
Happy birthday our beautiful girl!  We love you tons and tons!!!

Celtic Yule Log Cake

I love making different cakes than the normal birthday cakes.  This is the second yule log cake I've made for my friend, and I love it!  The berries are modeling chocolate and the leaves and Celtic knots are gum paste.  Then just lots of yummy frosting!  Welcome Winter Solstice!  And on such a yummy note!

TV show 'Psych' pineapple birthday cake

Have you ever seen the TV show 'Psych?'  Well, my friend LOVES it!  (So do my kids and sister!)  So if you've seen the show you'll understand this cake!  It was very fun to make.
Fresh lemon gluten free pound cake with lemon curd and lemon butter cream frosting covered in modeling chocolate and fondant.  It's all edible.  The leaves are modeling chocolate.

Happy happy birthday, Tiffany!  We love you!
