Rainbow Layer Cake

This cake is just as fun on the inside when you cut into it as it is to color and decorate on the outside! I gave the birthday girl a blank canvas of white fondant and a pack of edible food coloring markers, and she was so thrilled with what she made. For her party, I made basic sugar cookies with a fondant round for all of the kids to color as well. I LOVE this idea for a birthday party...even for an adult! (Original idea found at sweetapolita).

For the Cure!

This display was made for The Knothole to raise money for Susan G. Komen for the cure during UW Homecoming. All three cakes are vanilla and almond with raspberry filling and classic buttercream, and ALL IN PINK. The cake balls are the same with some vanilla buttercream, and some with cream cheese buttercream. Anything that you bite into will also be pink on the inside! Please go down to the Knothole to donate and eat some cake! The main cakes can be taken for a donation of $25-$50, and take a bag of cake balls for $5. Enjoy!

Autumn Wedding

Congratulations to Scott and Heather! This cake is white almond sour cream frosted in textured buttercream, and decorated in handmade edible gumpaste leaves. Simple and beautiful for the fast approaching fall season. (The colors aren't exact here, the reception area was very dark).

Fall is on the way...

Pacman Party!

Happy Birthday to my dear friend who was born in 1981! The whole party was decorated in a 1981 theme; pacman, skittles, gummi worms...and so many more things that were popular that year. All of the cupcakes are carrot cake with cream cheese icing, dressed up with fondant. (The pacman game made of cupcakes was based on an idea from "hellonaomi"). 

Daisies Daisies...and more Daisies

Before...

and

After!

Another daisy cake! No, you are not seeing double, I had another request for my previous gerbera daisy cake, so this is number two. Same concept, same flavors, same time and detail on all of the handmade gerbers, but this time for an 80th birthday party paired with fifty matching cupcakes. I tied this cake up in pretty pink ribbon and added a butterfly right on top. Happy Birthday!!

Running Roses

This wedding cake is three tiers covered in homemade fondant, decorated with a cascade of roses from deep blue to white; all painted with pearl dust. The top tier is chocolate with raspberry and chocolate ganache buttercream; to be saved for the first anniversary. The bottom two tiers, for the guests, are white almond sour cream with almond buttercream. I finished the cake with black ribbon, scattered pearls, and set the cake on a black satin covered base. 

Gerbera Gala

Small two tier white almond cutting cake covered in fondant and decorated in handmade gumpaste gerber daisies surrounded by 150 matching cupcakes in both white almond and chocolate cake.
