Pretty purple and butterflies

Wedding cake to resemble a Martha Stewart creation. The top and bottom tier are vanilla cake with strawberry filling and purple vanilla buttercream icing. The middle tier was devoted to the groom and is chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling and purple white chocolate buttercream icing.
Fabric butterflies in purple, white, and green cascade down the front of the cake.

Wedding shower present

Chocolate cake with green buttercream icing. Pink and brown fondant stripes and polka dots accents, and a pink bow on top complete the overall look.

Hypercolor daisies and polka dots

White chocolate cake with white chocolate filling and icing in teal. Pink and purple fondant polka dots accent the sides and top edge of the cake, and daisies saturated with color complete the top of the cake.

Chocolate on chocolate, nothin' wrong with that!

8 inch and 6 inch round yellow layer cakes with chocolate buttercream filling and icing. Green, white, and orange colored chocolates in little bite sizes adorned the top tier and larger panels completed the bottom tier. Chocolate buttercream stars were piped in between the chocolate pieces to give the cake some depth, and rosettes completed the base of each cake. Three silk sunflowers and some silk leaves top it all off. I think it turned out pretty cute, and very "contemporary" in style.

The cake colors matched the invitation that was sent out for the party.

Coconut and....coffee?

Champagne colored coconut cake with crushed almond filling and almond flavored buttercream icing. The scrollwork was done in a red that matched the bridesmaid dresses of the wedding party.
The base of each tier was completed with a row of dark chocolate covered coffee beans to reflect the couple's love for coffee. The "bride and groom" wedding cake topper was a pair of pugs to show love to the couple's pugs at home.

The entire cake was covered in swiss dots, and then the whole look was finished with a cascade a variety of red silk flowers and leaves.

The cakes were chocolate for the bottom and top tier, and french vanilla for the middle tier, all covered in plain buttercream icing. The polka dots and wavy stripes were made from black fondant, and the bottom of each tier was finished off with jelly beans coordinating with the colors of the rest of the cake.
The "sweet sixteen Briana" plaque was made out of white fondant with pink polka dot fondant accents around the edge. The "16" was also made from pink fondant with black and white fondant accents.

The cannon, pirate, and treasure chest were made from hand molded fondant pieces, and the "sand" was made from crushed graham crackers. The sails were made from decorated pieces of paper and were attached to wooden dowels.

Both cakes were covered with blue-ish colored marshmallow fondant and decorated with a band of red fondant at the base of each cake. Blue, green, and yellow circles fondant circles were placed all over the cakes, and the numbers and clockes were hand piped with some of the remaining vanilla fondant. I finished up with a star border on the bottom cake with some red colored vanilla icing, and a blue fondant rope on the top cake.

Bowling for cake!!

This was a cake that I made for my 7 year old twin nieces' birthday party. The party was at a bowling alley here in town and the party was bowling themed. Pink and purple are their favorite colors, so I tried to incorporate that into the cake, as well.

2008 graduation!

10 inch and 6 inch white chocolate cake with white chocolate filling and icing. Fondant decorations (which attempted to melt due to the hot Georgia weather!!)

Giant cupcake!

This was the groom's cake that went along with the "golden beauty" wedding cake (below) for a wedding on Saturday, May 3rd, 2008. The bride and I discussed the groom's interests in an attempt to come up with something really cute and creative for his cake. The final product incorporated the groom's love of cupcakes into their wedding celebration. The base of the cupcake was a three layer 10-inch round chocolate cake with milk chocolate filling and white chocolate buttercream icing. It was then covered white marshmallow fondant. The top of the cupcake was also a chocolate cake with milk chocolate filling and white chocolate icing. An additional layer of semi-sweet chocolate buttercream completed the finished look. Fondant "sprinkles" in green, blue, and yellow covered the top and the base of the cake. This cake will feed around 50 people and was so much fun to make!

Golden beauty

This golden beauty was made of french vanilla cake with lemon cream cheese buttercream filling and icing. Golden marshmallow fondant "pearls" surrounded the base of each tier and white roses completed the look. The tiers were 6, 10, and 14 inches.

Each cake tier and the edible fondant pearls were dusted with gold pearl dust to give them a luminescence that was beautiful in person, but was hard to capture on photograph. This cake will feed around 100 people.
