Matt and Michelle

Matt and Michelle are friends of our family. They just had a baby shower, and there were so many people there to celebrate the (soon) arrival of their baby boy, Aiden. I made this paul frank baby bag cake for her, and it is accessorized with a punk rock rubber ducky and a toy version of their crazy boston terrier, Louie, who I could watch endlessly as he runs and dive bombs into their pool to retrieve toys, so cute!

Congrats you guys!!!!

Princess Zebra Cake for Eliana

This cake was inspired by a pair of zebra ballet slippers that my friend bought for her daughter. The slippers had huge hot pink ribbon roses on them, and I recreated them in gumpaste.

The middle tier has a tiny pink crystal at the point of the diamonds on the quilting, which made the whole thing sparkle in the sun. So cute!!

I also made 4 dozen zebra striped cupcake toppers to match. They match the background of the first picture, you can see below. :)

21st Birthday Party ~ Viva Las Vegas!!

I made this cake for a 21st birthday, she was having a vegas theme. How fun! I really loved how the boa really added that "vegas vibe" to the whole thing.

The mask was created from gumpaste and the chips are rice krispies.

Lots of fun to make!

Bacon Steak Guitar

Joseph is our daughter's friend's dad, and he loves to cook. I've heard that he actually prepares dinner regularly, and even makes the entire thanksgiving feast by himself. And it's good too!!

He also loves guitar, so i thought that there would be no better cake for him than a meat guitar. He was really happy when he saw it, declaring that I combined his three favorite things, steak, bacon, and guitar. hee hee!!

(on a side note, my kids decided to try some of the fondant bacon, and I wish I could have captured their expressions when they tasted it. I told them it was fondant, but for some unknown reason their brain told them to expect salty goodness)

Here it is, in all its glory, complete with bacon roses and bacon guitar picks that spell out "Happy Birthday Joseph!"

Bacon wrapped neck - yummy!!

Those glorious bacon roses and my daughter's idea - a cooking rocks sticker in the shape of an apron - pure genius!! :)

Shannon's purse

My son's teacher, Shannon, loves purple. The class had a little surprise party for her birthday and I made her this purse. She's really pretty and very fashionable, so it seemed like something she would own. Wish we had enough money to buy her a real one! She's a fantastic teacher, my son absolutely adores her.

Happy Birthday Shannon!!

Sushi

So, one of my husband's coworkers ordered a sushi cake for her daughter's 30th birthday. She requested "not fondant" so I went outside of my comfort zone and made a white chocolate clay to cover the cake, and later to make the sushi. It worked pretty well!
I love the color of this cake too, it makes me yearn for summer...

Gloria

Gloria is a friend of the mom who I made that princess cake for, it was kinda unusual because I never actually met her, we did all our business over email. She was really nice too :)
For her 40th birthday she wanted something pink and black, and inspired by Madonna, so I came up with this cake, a zebra lacy ode to a youthful 40 year old~





The middle was a recreation of fancy black lace~



And what cake is complete without a gucci purse!!??
