A Harley Davidson Wedding

This weekend I got to make the cakes for a Harley-themed wedding. The bride's cake was all French vanilla with vanilla buttercream, and it was my second attempt at uneven tiers. We added two mini Harleys to the cake at the venue, which made the perfect finishing touches. I wish I had remembered to brign the camera!

The groom's cake was chocolate with chocolate buttercream (my favorite). This was my first time making flames, and I had a good time using my airbrush for these cakes. The logo on the groom's cake matched the wedding invitations, which I thought was pretty cool. I found some awesome diamond plate vinyl at Auto Zone that I used to cover the cake boards, which also matched the invitations. All in all I was really happy with how these turned out!

Severed Medusa Head!

What better way to celebrate a 10-year-old boy's birthday than a severed head covered in snakes!? This was a really fun and interesting cake to make. Four chocolate cakes and chocolate buttercream carved and covered in fondant and then embossed and airbrushed to look like scaly Medusa. 15 airbrushed gummy snakes with beady redhot eyes made up her hair. Her eyes had lights inside so they glowed green in the dark. Way cool. The kids seemed to be impressed. One even said, "Wow, you're good. You should sell this cake for a million dollars!" Pretty nice compliment. :-)

Pineapple Mini Cupcakes

Leftover pineapple cake means...mini cupcakes! These were topped with cream cheese frosting. Really cute and yummy.

A Surgical Pineapple Cake

My friend Aleiva asked me to make a cake for her sister Leah, who was graduating as a surgical nurse. This cake incorporates scrubs, a surgical mask, and a tray full of medical instruments. Everything is made of fondant, and the cake was a new one for me: pineapple with cream cheese icing. The pineapple cake was totally awesome! I'll definitely be additing to my list of regular flavors.

Orange Creamsicle Cupcakes

Decided to make some cupcakes for fun today. Orange cupcakes with marshmallow-butter filling, orange buttercream and marshmallow drizzle. These looks delish and smell just like an orange creamsicle!

My Cake Blog

Hi there! Welcome to my cake blog. I decided I should be documenting my forrays into caking, so I have uploaded all my photos (that I could locate) from the past view years below. Hope you enjoy! I am preping to begin a fun and crazy new project: a severed Medusa head cake! Stay tuned for photos of that one! Thanks for looking!

DANIWOOD

This is probably my favorite cake to date. This was for Dani's Sweet 16 Hollywood-themed party. I drew inspiration from a lot of other great cakes out there and came up with a few new fun techniques, too. This was a red velvet/cream cheese and vanilla/vanilla cake. It featured some really fun personalized details, like two film reels with actual photos of Dani from birth to present made in edible icing images. The reels started on top of the cake and film dangled down the sides. Loved it! Of course, we had to have a red carpet and some real spotlights (my favorite feature) to light up the DANIWOOD sign. The "Now Showing" sign and clapboard highlighted Dani's special day. Lots of gold and silver and sparkles made this cake really shine! Loooved it!
