Peony Wedding

I made this cake for my Aunt's wedding. Her favorite flower is a peony and wanted a cake that reflected that. It is a three tiered amaretto cake, covered with amaretto buttercream frosting. The flower is made out of gumpaste which I formed into petals and then hand-painted with purple icing color.

Groom's Tire

This was made as a groom's cake for someone who works with racecars. Before each Sprint race he drives around the track and yells "Get ready for hot laps!" The cake is four layers of chocolate cake with raspberry filling in between each layer. It is covered in chocolate buttercream frosting and black fondant.

I made this cake for an adorable little girl's third birthday. She had a Minnie Mouse themed party. The bottom layer and the cupcakes were strawberry and the two top layers were regular white cake. I used white and pink butter cream icing; as well as black and pink fondant.

Premier Cake

I made this cake for a Premier Jewelry convention. I made the cake out of red velvet cake with cream cheese icing. I molded milk chocolate into the shape of a box and then made the Premier logo out of icing and fondant. I used fondant and various candies to make the jewelry, held together by gum glue, and then colored them using a mixture of vanilla extract and gold/silver pearl dust.

Graduation Cupcakes

I made these for a graduation party for a friend of mine. The vanilla cupcakes had homemade chocolate icing with white chocolate molded letters on top. The chocolate cupcakes had vanilla buttercream icing on top with little graduation caps. I made the graduation caps by putting a square of milk chocolate on top of a mini reeses cup (held together by icing) and then iced on the tassels.

The bow is made of brown fondant that I formed to the shape of a bow. I made the calla lilies out of white and yellow gum paste that i formed then let harden in that shape.

Snowwoman

This is the cake I made for my aunt's birthday. Her birthday is a few days away from Christmas, so I decided to make a snowwoman of her. The inside is decadent chocolate cake with fresh rasberries aand chocolate icing filling in the middle. It has a layer of cream cheese icing underneath white fondant. The decorations are all fondant except for her hair (black decorating icing) and arms (pretzels).
