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.

Wedding Shower

I made this cake for my brother's wedding shower. All three layers are lemon cake filled with lemon meringue filling and covered in white cream cheese frosting. 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.

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).

Barbie Cake

I made this Barbie cake for my bible study leader for her birthday.  She always wanted a Barbie cake as a kid and since her birthday fell on a Wednesday (which is when we meet for bible study) I decided to make her one. It was a chocolate dome cake covered in pink fondant decorated with white cream cheese icing. Her top is made out of pink fondant and white cream cheese icing. I made the rose out of pink gum paste and the bow on the back of her dress out of white fondant.

Football Cakes


I actually made two if these football cakes within about two weeks of each other; one for Girl Talk and one for the Coram Deo Academy football players. The bottom layer was chocolate, covered in green cream cheese icing and white cream cheese icing yard lines. The top layer was yellow cake, covered with chocolate icing and decorated with white fondant. The goal posts were made out of straws. On the side of one it said "Girl Talk!" and the other said 'Go Lions!"

My Dad's Birthday

This is the cake I made for my Dad for his birthday. It is carrot cake covered in yellow cream cheese icing. The dots are cut out of different colored fondant ovals and I formed the bow out of white fondant. The icing on the white fondant covered cake board says "Happy Birthday Daddy!"

Upelkuchen

Also for my 15th birthday party I made upelkuchen which is the name of the cake that makes Alice grow. It is yellow cake, covered in white fondant and decorated with white cream cheese icing and black decorating icing.
