Football Cake




This is a birthday cake for my Dad :-) and it is a Husky theme, for his high school football team (North Hollywood High Huskies, woot!) I covered it in green fondant and piped all of the lines and numbers and the footballs are made from chocolate fondant. My favorite part is the Husky though, I painted it on fondant and I loved the way it came out!

Sunflower Cake


This is a very bad picture but I like this cake :-) especially because the horizontal lines are straight, woot! This was my first experimentation with chocolate fondant, it's a lot like tootsie rolls actually. I made all of the little flowers out of fondant, it was my first time making sunflowers and they came out all right. The little sign was also painted with food coloring.

New Birthday Cake :-)






This cake doesn't really make a lot of sense but it does to the person I made it for so that's all that counts. No those are not TV antennae's they are the mallets that you hit the percussion instrument thingy with (not drums) Anywho, I painted in all of the music notes and the "Meh" and the "Happy Birthday Ricardo". This cake was very interesting because it is blue velvet cake on the inside!

Cherry Blossom Cake







This post is ridiculously overdue, I apologize to Elise who has been waiting months for me to post this ;-) But this is hands down, one of my top favorite cakes, maybe even my favorite I'm not sure. It is in fact a birthday cake, not a wedding cake but when you turn eighteen you can have a three tiered cake :-) We went to Kobe's for dinner and the cake matched the restaraunt! I spent maybe a week making all of the flowers plus extras. The happy birthday sign was a last minute edition because I thought the cake needed something, it was just a piece of gumpaste that I hand-painted with food coloring but I like it :-) I have no idea what the red thing is so don't ask, it just looks really fun.

Sushi Pop!




If you have ever been to the most wonderfully delicious sushi restaraunt in the universe known as Sushi Pop in Oviedo you must, because you are missing out on happiness in fish form. Also you will understand this cake a little better. This cake was made for the owners of the restaraunt, and the design was inspired by the awesomeness of it. It was fun because I got to make a really modern and bright design on the side which I haven't really done before. I also enjoyed making little fondant pieces of sushi! :-D

Baby Cakes!








I adore these! I made them for two beautiful new-born baby twins, Michael and Aiden :-) (I misspelled Aiden on the cakes :-O) But I had oodles of fun making the little baby accessories! Everything was done completely in fondant and was painted with food coloring. I also used my nifty little food coloring markers to do a lot of the designs. I think the rattle cake is my favorite :-)

Pool Table Cake

Not my favorite, but still kind of cute :-) This was a very last minute cake, and it is very shiny! (too much water in the fondant)
