Millenium Falcon

This cake was made for one of my bff's son. I drove this cake 2.5 hours to the party and it made it!! The cake was surprisingly easier to make than everyone thinks, I swear. I used royal icing to pipe the design onto the cake, and had some fun splattering white food paint onto the blue fondant covered board. Happy Birthday Logie Bear!!

Fancy Cake Trio

These cakes were made for a little girl who turned 1. Her mom found a cake inspiration picture online somewhere and I replicated them, with some color and size changes. The ruffles were so much easier to make than I thought! Also, it uses a TON more fondant than I anticipated. The tiny cake is covered with buttercream and only has fondant in that ribbon that goes around it, because it's her smashcake and her mom didn't want her to have too much sugar, I bet. Very sweet and elegant!

Topsy Turvy Alice in Wonderland

This cake was a blast to make, I love making these topsy turvy cakes, and what better theme than Alice in Wonderland, where everything is topsy turvy anyway? The little fondant balls on those boingy wires adds some more whimsy too, and I love working with extremely bright colors when doing one of these cakes too.

Alice in Wonderland bridal shower

This cake was made for one of my bff's bridal shower. She had an Alice tea party themed shower, and I wanted to make something totally different from the other alice cakes I've made. Something that looked less "birthday for a kid"-ish , so my husband gave me the idea of making a giant mushroom and my imagination kinda wandered after that.

Alice tea party

This cake was for an Alice in Wonderland tea party, that was at one of those fancy little places you go to sit and have tea. I really love the little door and the doorknob, it's my favorite part of this cake!

Alice in Wonderland

This cake was a lot of fun to make, especially since the mom wanted me to use lots of colors and gave me all of the creative freedom I could use. I love customers who do that!! :)

Lucas Airlines

This little guy is the son of one of my oldest friends. Not oldest, like she's old, but I've known her longer than I've known any other of my friends. It's so awesome to keep in touch with someone who has known you since you were two years old. It's even more awesome to see their mom, who remembers you in preschool and stuff. And it's equally as awesome to make a bday cake for their kid/grandkid. Love the simple graphic design of this plane cake, it's so cute!

Angry Birds

Another Angry Birds cake! This game never gets old, I swear!! The birds, blocks and piggies are all made out of rice krispie treats. Now the song is stuck in my head.

80s Party!!

This boombox cake was made for an 80s themed birthday party. It really brought back memories while making it, I totally remember asking Santa for a boom box (ghetto blaster is what we called them) and playing pac man on my uncle's atari system. I totally remember how stuff had that geometric lettering, which is what I used for the birthday message. And the cake couldn't be complete without a mix tape!!

ode to the 60s!!

I made this cake for a couple who have their birthdays close together, and who met in the 60s and fell in love. So sweet! Hand painted tie dye was really fun to do. And the daisies remind me of the daisy chains worn on heads back in the 60s (of what I've seen in pictures and on tv)

007

This cake was for a fan of James Bond, who also turned 50. The gun was made of rice krispie treats and the design was hand cut fondant. It was a lot of fun to make, I love this design!

Minecraft

If you haven't heard of Minecraft, you've probably been living under a rock for about a year and a half. Or something. If that's the case, this is what it looks like. a bunch of squares that you build a world with, and there are people, animals, these things called creepers, zombies, and different kinds of squares with gold, jewels, metal, stone, and wood, etc. that you build houses and stuff with.
My son is completely addicted to this game, in fact he is waiting impatiently for me to finish blogging so he can get back onto the computer and start up his minecraft again. :)
This cake was relatively easy to make, I think the next minecraft one (which my son already ordered for HIS birthday) will have smaller squares and different levels. With cake orders, you are kinda limited to how big the cake can be, depending on how many servings the client wants, and that's how I charge them $$, so I was limited on size for this one. But my son gets cakes for free so he is probably designing a complete town that will take me three years to build. We will have to come to some sort of a compromise with that one. :)

Gumpaste Orchids

This was another cake that the client gave me creative freedom on. "Tiffany blue and orchids, really simple and modern" is what she said. I love the look of a line of flowers down the center of a clean simple cake. So elegant. I will definitely use this design sometime again.

Minnie Mouse

This cake is the complete look of Minnie Mouse, from the fat white polka dots to the big yellow bow and the ruffle around the bottom. I love making these cakes! It sort of seems like they are all kinda different too for some reason. This one was really simple and clean, I really think it works, don't you?

Broadway

This cake was made for an ultimate fan of everything broadway. The guests were dressed up like broadway performers, the décor was all broadway, there was even a red carpet leading up to the door of the party house!
I used a few little party lights to act as spotlights against the little broadway posters. It was really cool and she loved it!
Happy Birthday Tracie!

Thing one and Thing two!!

This is THE BEST theme for a twins baby shower, hands down. AND a boy girl twin baby shower at that! I love it! The things were sculpted out of rice krispie treats, I just love them!! So adorable. The party décor was so cute too, Dr Seuss has the perfect little characters and pictures for kid parties, and this was by far one of my most favorite cakes ever!! :)

Semper Fi

This cake was made for a lady's son who was going into the Marines. They were having a going away to the Marines party for him, and the cake has an American flag draped over the right side, with some dog tags with his name on them, and some Marine boots made out of rice krispie treats on top. The gun was made out of foam core and covered with black fondant.
When I delivered the cake I saw a wall of pictures in the house of her son, and she kept talking about how proud she was of him, and how she knew he was going to take on such a selfless position when he got older. It just left a lump in my throat thinking about how she must feel giving her son to our country, sacrificing that much for our freedom. I thanked her over and over, and gave her a big hug.
:)

KTM for Jim

This cake was made for my friend Elizabeth's husband, it is a recreation of his bike and was a total surprise for him! At first I was unsure how I was going to make this cake, then I sculped the bike out of rice krispie treats and just followed the picture. It was much easier than I thought it would be.
Happy Birthday Jim!!

Sleepy Sheep

Occasionally I will get a cake order for a teeny cake, and if I am not bombarded with other cake orders that consume all of my sleeping and eating and bathroom time, I will say "yes I would love to" and this was one of those instances. This little lamb is sleeping under a patchwork quilt on a little 6 inch square pillow. The client wanted something really small to surprise her friend who was having a baby girl. I just want to hug this little sheepy!! So cute :)

Mrs. Psycho Donuts Bday Surprise

So, this cake was made entirely out of chocolate cake donuts, which were glued together in a mound with some coffee flavored buttercream, and then I decorated with some fondant and gumpaste lilies.
The owner of Psycho Donuts, who I have been working alongside to create a few cakes with, decided to throw his wonderful wife a surprise birthday party! And of course I was very excited to create this for her. He wanted me to write "Happy Birthday You Old Lady" in Chinese on the cake (he is a very funny guy) so after a bunch of googling and practice the banner was made.
She was so surprised it was a perfect party and tons of fun. And she said she still has the banner in the freezer too!! haha
Happy Birthday Meilan!! :)
