Gold and White Chalkboard Wedding Cake

I got to make a giant 5 tiered cake!  And I had to drive it 3 hours to it's destination!!  The most tense 3 hours of my cake life!  I loved making this cake, though!!  It was a special cake to me because it was for a very close family friend.  She's basically a sister to me, and my kids call her their aunt, so it was a treat to make her cake for her!  It was fun taking the bride's ideas and mixing them all together to create something special just for her!

 It was fun getting pictures of the cake at it's venue, even though the lighting was a little hard to get good pictures.  
 Little Batman logo for the groom!
 The gorgeous bouquet that I based the flowers off of for the top of the cake.
 Wedding day!!  Pi day!
 The adorable proposal at campfire.  The airplane representing the time they spent apart while the groom was out of state.
 The first date at Jamba Juice.  Sharing a smoothie as they fell in love!
 They met on the dating site Tinder and this is the little logo for that site!
The lights were down and the evening was coming to an end but this image captured the fun sparkles in the cake!  This was probably the absolute best wedding I've been to!  I love you Nicole!!!!  Thank you Nicole and Grant for letting me be a part of your special day!

Zombie Birthday Cake

Okay, I have a confession to make.....I'm terrified of zombies.  I can't watch movies with them or TV shows, or even look at pictures of them without cringing.  So when I got this cake order I was really nervous!  When I googled pictures I got even more nervous, and freaked out!  I won't lie, I was hoping they wanted "cute" zombie and I had all these cute ideas of little 'cartoon' zombies and a very tidy cake.  I love straight lines and smooth patterns, so when they said, "The more blood the better," I was out of my comfort zone.  But who grows without getting outside their comfort zone?!  

 Yes, he's holding his own intestines....ewwwww!!!!
 The blood spatters were my favorite part.  Comes from when I used to paint wood crafts, which rarely happens these days!
The exposed brain was one of the parts my kids really didn't like.  I knew I'd done a good job when they couldn't even look at it!  Thus this picture.....
I had to hide the zombie with this book while I worked on the cake.  :)  
Now I know I can make a zombie cake without freaking out!  I didn't even have any nightmares!!
Happy birthday Xalen!  You're one tough cookie!!

"Blaze and the Monster Machine's" birthday cake

I've never heard of "Blaze and the Monster Machines," until now!  I had a hard time finding pictures of the trucks for this cake, but it was worth all the work!  What a perfect cake for a little boy's birthday party!

 Blaze was made out of fruity pepples treat and modeling chocolate.  Actually, this whole cake was decorated in modeling chocolate!
 It was fun making the torn pieces with the tires bursting out!

 Hand painted trucks. These were the only parts that were gum paste.  I loved painting them!


Happy birthday, Case!!  One lucky boy!

Zebra Princess Pink Cupcakes
