I would have to say this is my 2nd favorite cake so far. It was made for 2 little boys who are one year apart. So one was celebrating his 1st and the other his 2nd. Everything about this one turned out exactly like I wanted it to. The bottom sheet cake is Chocolate Fudge with a Peanut Butter Filling. The Barn and the haystack were chocolate chip cake. Everything covered in vanilla buttercream except the roof of the barn and it was chocolate buttercream. All animals were made from fondant. They turned out so cute. The tractor, fence, and Little Farmer were the only things non edible. I had soooo much fun doing this cake. The smash cake was also chocolate chip with chocolate buttercream filling. I got to see the pictures of the little boy and he was all over the smash cake. It was the cutest thing. I hope I can do something like this one again.













For a very fun 40th Birthday! Marble cake with Whipped Chocolate Ganache Filling. Vanilla Buttercream with black scroll work. She found the pink sparkly topper which worked great with the other decorations. You can't see it in the pictures but I brushed pearl dust on the cake to give it a little more sparkle.

A spa themed birthday. Chocolate cake with buttercream. All fondant accents. Since I only have boys, I had fun doing all the girly parts to this cake. There is a lipstick tube, comb, fingernail polish bottle, mirror, compact, flip flops, the toe seperator, fingernail file, makeup brush, and the mascara tube. This was for my cousin's little girl, who is all girl. She loves to play dress up. I loved everything about this cake and the colors just work so well together.







This is for all you Star Wars fans out there! For a 4th birthday this little boy wanted a Storm Troopers helmet. Hopefully I did it justice since I don't really know a lot about Star Wars. All buttercream with fondant accents and I also used Licorice for the mouth (speaker) and band across the top. Didn't get to see his reaction, but I heard that he loved it!




My second baby bum cake! The feet came out a little better on this one, but the bottom cake needed to be just a bit bigger. Marble cake with buttercream. Rice Krispies for the legs and feet covered in fondant. Fondant blanket with fondant ribbon and bows.







What a crazy cake this was! It was my first topsy turvy and I was a nervous wreck. It was fine until I had to deliver it. I ended up riding in the back of my truck holding it while my husband drove. Needless to say I was not as happy with this one and I really wanted it to look good for our friends daughter's 16th birthday. The concept and design was so cute! And she loved it so that made it all better. So its devils food on the bottom and middle. Funfetti on the top layer. The 16 is made from Lollipop sticks and fondant. All buttercream with fondant accents. The black stars were fondant and the silver stars were white chocolate painted with silver dust. I just prayed that it stood up until she was ready to cut it. I just knew it was going to tumble. Better luck next time!




My best friends grandmother was turning 80. So to give them a little variety we made the cookie cake and the simple sheet cake. She loves all flowers, wish I had a little more time to do different ones. The colors for the party were pinks, purple, and blue. I was really proud of how these turned out.






My rendition of the Construction Pals birthday set. This little dump truck was so cute. Everything is edible. I free handed the truck on the cake and added crushed cookie crumbs for the dirt. All buttercream including the smash cake.

Another version of the Zebra stripe cake. I love the pink and black on this one. All white cake with vanilla buttercream and fondant accents. Wish the 2nd layer was a little taller, but all in all it turned out cute!!!




My first Baby Butt cake!!!!! The daisies were so cute on this cake. Everything is edible. The baby legs are rice krispie treats with fondant on them. The baby bum is white cake carved with a fondant blanket. The square cake is marbled with vanilla buttercream. Would love to do this one again to perfect the little legs, but the feet and toes were pretty close.

Another 90th Birthday!!!!! This was for a man who loves to play golf so we thought the 3D Golf Cart would be so cute. I had so much fun making all the parts for the cart. The golf bags, clubs, seat and Flag were all fondant. The cake was yellow cake with Lemon Cream filling. The golf ball in the water was white chocolate. The tires for the cart are chocolate cookies. Loved, Loved, Loved this cake!!

My other big accomplishment for the summer was my cousins wedding cake. My first official wedding cake and it was big. Enough to feed 225 people. The close up of the scroll work was before I put the finishing touches on the cake. All of the flowers were fresh roses. I arranged the cake and table. The cake was all vanilla with ivory vanilla buttercream. There is a fondant ribbon around each layer at the base. The 14" base and the 10" had a Whipped Chocolate Ganache filling. The 12" and 8" had a Strawberry Cream Cheese filling. The topper was a 6" with a Coconut Cream filling. They took the topper with them on the Honeymoon and I will make another for their anniversary. I learned a lot from this cake and hope to get to do more wedding cakes in the future.



The groom's cake for my cousins wedding. He was a huge Georgia Tech fan and wanted his cake in the shape of the GT. It is a 11x15 sheet cake with a Poundcake on top cut out in the GT shape. The scroll work on the side mimicks the scroll pattern on her cake. I was very pleased with how this one turned out and he was even more excited.










I have to say this is one of the greatest accomplishments so far. I spent 3 days working on the cake. It was very dear to my heart as it was celebrating the life of my late grandfather and his identical twin brother. We were to celebrate my Great Uncle's 90th on July 11. He passed away on June 13. Just one month shy, so with keeping of my idea on the cake we got together as a family to celebrate their memory. They did everything together, so here's the story. They spent their younger years in the Navy serving in World War II. Which is the left side of the cake. The middle is dedicated to their 40+ years at the Georgia Power Plant Atkinson. The right side was one of their biggest feats and that was to hike the Appalachian trail, the entire thing in their 60's. They were truly amazing men and it thrilled my heart to do this cake in rememberance of them. Everything was edible except the AT trail sign. I made that of paper. Everything else was made from Fondant and Gumpaste. The building is RKT covered in fondant. The tent and cattails were gumpaste. And the cute trees were ice cream cones and Royal Icing.



A baby shower in which the invitation had a train at the top driven by the bear. I matched the train to this as best as I could. The train is Rice Krispie Treats covered in Fondant. Everything else is done with buttercream. The train on the side of the cake is more of a match to the invitation.
