It's a Beer Cake!

Made this for a friend's wife!  Marble cake, that I shaped to look like a bottle.  Chocolate frosting and the blue is again, colored fondant.

My first wedding!

I had some friends who got married this past October.  They were very creative and decided to put individual cakes on each table. Their had a few requests, but otherwise, there were a few different varieties of cakes.  Black, white and blue were their colors and they wanted to incorporate a bow into the cake.  I pre-made the bows out of fondant and then air brushed them black, with my new airbrush.  The blue ribbons on the cake is also colored fondant.  Here are some of the individual cakes, as well as the head table cake. The flavors were Marble, Chocolate, Yellow, Red Velvet, and Peanut Butter.

My Cousin's Confirmation

I just made a quick trip to North Dakota to see some family and attend my cousin's confirmation.  While I was on my way, my aunt frantically called me to ask if I could make a cake, for some pictures, and then to eat.  Of course I couldn't say NO!  I love decorating cakes.  I did use a box cake for this one, as I was traveling and didn't have a lot of time, nor ingredients, to make one from scratch.  And, my cousin picked out the colors and the decorations.

Halloween time!

Here is a skull cake that I made.  The blue is fondant, with the skull cut out, so that I could put the frosting right on the cake.

It's a Duck Cake!

Made this little 6 inch cake for a first birthday party for a little girl.  The rest of the family had coordinating cupcakes. :)  The beak is make out of Fondant to give it a 3d look.

Motorcycle Fanatics and 50th Birthday Parties!

Thanks to awesome friends, I had the opportunity to make 2 birthday cakes that were motorcycle/Harley themed. Both friends ended up wanting my red velvet cake, which is turning out to be my favorite as well....but that's mostly because it has turned out every time (knock on wood).

Run! It's a monster!

So, I can't say that this is an original idea, but it sure was fun to make!  Once I continue to get a little better, it would be much easier to cover the 'eyes' with fondant, or melted chocolate would probably even work the best and would give it a little more of a finished look.  Overall, I thought that it was very cute for my first 'monster' cake.  It was also my first attempt at a homemade marble cake.  Thanks to my AWESOME friend Amy for a book with 100 different cake recipies.  I did get the feedback that the cake was super good.  It was dense, but moist, as it is more of a sponge cake texture.  The frosting was a little sweet for the adults (after I got all the 'hair' on there, the frosting was probably about an inch thick), but of course the children had no complaints!  I am hoping to do a few more of these around Halloween, so if you plan on having a Halloween party and want a cake, please email me!!
