It's a Boy!

I made this cake for my coworker, who was expecting a little boy. The feet and the onsie are done in fondant, where the rest is done in buttercream. I still need to work on the placement of my words/letters, but I'm slowly getting better.

Pokemon

Donnie loves Pokemon, so I made this cake for his birthday! We added some yellow lightening blots coming out of the top and some Pokemon figurines for the finishing touches!

Going away...

I got to use my creative juices on this one. A friend's sister was moving away. So, I made a homemade French Vanilla cake, in the shape of a suitcase, which help 'stickers' of her favorite things in Omaha/life. I loved doing this cake!

Wedding Elegance

My dear friend, Cat, got married the other day and I had the honor of baking and decorating her cakes. She had three cakes, all different sizes. She was going for the more 'rustic' look, so it was more of a wavy look, instead of the smooth frosting look that you normally see.
 We kept is simple with some deep purple 'lilies'. I made these with Royal Icing, to help them keep their shape a bit better. Congrats Cat!!


1st Birthday...Smash Cake included...

Nicholas is turning One and he loves Monsters Inc!

His smash cake is 'Mike'.
The rest of the group got to eat this cake, in the shape of a '1' and decorated like 'Sully'.

Football Cake Balls

I've made these a couple times now! I also keep any extra cake that I have left over in the freezer for these types of things...and it worked out great for a Super Bowl Party! And no, you can't just use the 'cake ball makers'. Real cake balls are mashed up cake, with frosting mixed in, and then dipped in almond bark or candy chocolate. I tried to use cookie frosting for the 'laces', but using regular frosting in a piping bag ended up working way better!

I also made some Easter themed cake balls as well. I put the finished cake balls in an Easter Basket, which made the delivery look awesome (but I forgot to take a picture of that).

Star Wars Lego Cake

"B" Man had a birthday! And he loves Star Wars Legos. I didn't exactly know how this was going to turn out, as creating a Lego dude is definitely not the easiest thing that I've done, but I think that it turned out ok. 'B' Man loved it, so that's what really matters. The legos and 'yoda' are made out of fondant.
