The HUNT is OVER!

So, my friend Ashley came to me and asked if I could make the grooms cake for her wedding. Chris (her now husband) is really into hunting and she suggested a deer head. After researching, I didn't really want to do a sheet cake with a deer head laying flat. I thought it would be cool to have it coming out of the cake! Here is the final result....

 Here's what it looked like in the process. The head is made of rice krispie treat, that I then carved and covered in fondant. The antlers, sign and the ears are made out of gumpaste. This was pretty challenging, but not nearly as scary as I thought it was going to be!

 The cake is Red Velvet with a cream cheese frosting.

Blue Orchid and Calla Lily Cake

Lana and Brad--- July 13, 2012! ---Congratulations!

Lana and Brad chose a chocolate cake with swiss buttercream and a lemon cake with raspberry filling.
The flowers are all hand made with gumpaste and then painted. I had a blast making this cake, and it was an honor to witness the marriage of these two wonderful people!

Welcome Caden!

This is a three-tiered pumpkin themed baby shower cake. This cake was so fun to make!
The top tier is vanilla with swiss buttercream, middle tier is spice cake with a cream cheese frosting and the bottom tier is a dark chocolate cake with a cookies and cream buttercream filling.
The pumpkins are made of fondant and the "wood" sign is made of gumpaste.

Classic Wedding Cake

This is Kyle and Angie's wedding cake. 14"-10"-6" tiered Red Velvet and Vanilla cake.

The flowers are roses and a few stephanotis -- all made of sugar (gumpaste) brushed with luster dust and then steamed.

This is my idea of a wedding cake! It's classic and vintage and I love the ivory-white contrast. 

My camera is back in action!

So my camera battery charger has gone MIA for months so I finally just gave up on finding it and bought a new charger. So here are some of the cakes/ cupcakes that I have done since the last charging of my camera....

Emily's Vegan pumpkin cake with vegan cinnamon frosting.

Monkey Cupcakes! The face of the monkey were just little sugar designs. The body and the bananas were made of buttercream.

Bridal shower cupcakes for a healthy bride and groom who own an organic food delivery service.

The carnations are made of gumpaste and the broccoli is made of a lime tootsie roll, dab of buttercream, and green non-pareil sprinkles.

Star Wars Cake

This cake was really fun to make! I was a little nervous about drawing Yoda out of buttercream, but I made it happen! The logo was pretty tricky too--the "S" and "T" and the "R" and "S"connect...
