Happy Pumpkin!

This was just picked up for a birthday party tomorrow along with coordinated pumpkin cookie favors. This was so much fun to make I didn't even notice the hours ticking away last night (and there were many!)

Big Girl Cake!

This was for my daughters 7th birthday. The colors were inspired by the dress she wore (recreated on the topper "Anna" figure) and she chose the design elements herself. Best thing about it was the Heathbar crunch buttercream filling in the chocolate fudge cake (mmmmmmm), never made that before and it was DELISH!!! Anyway, Happy Birthday, honey!

Polka Dot Cupcake Tower

Can't go wrong with my favorite colors!

Jacks Tire Cake

All Jack wanted was a cake that looked like a wheel! I'm really enjoying figure modeling lately and this little guy actually came out looking like the real Jack (fluke!).

Airplane Cake

Popular design redone with airplanes instead of balloons.

Coach Purse Cake

Now if I could just sell one of these for as much as the real thing cost, I might be on to something!! All fondant decoration.

Barbie 50th Birthday

This cake was for a lady turning 50 this year and so is Barbie, hence the theme. That is a 1959 Barbie (2009 commemorative edition) on top and the pink, black and white was the color scheme for the party. I had a lot of fun designing and making this one even if it did cause me some late nights!

Kendall and Austin's Cake

This was for the wedding of Kendall and Austin last weekend. It was HUGE and you don't even want to know how many pounds of butter, sugar and cream went into it, it weighed a ton!! Anyway, the cakes were yellow butter cake with raspberry chambord, lemon and vanilla buttercreams and triple chocolate cake with bavarian creme and chocolate hazelnut buttercream. Covered in pale yellow fondant and lots and lots of hand rolled and veined hydrangea blossoms.

Kate's Fairy Cake

I made this for the daughter of someone at work and I have to say I grew quite attached to the little fairy and was sad to see her go! Cake is covered in in pale sage buttercream with fondant flowers, butterflies and fairy.

Spartan Graduation Cookies


This graduate was on her way to State. These were very time consuming as the "S" cutter I ordered did not arrive in time and so I had to cut everything by hand! Anyway, sugar cookies with fondant decorations. While they were time consuming, they were fun to do.

"Lights, Camera, Action" Cookies


My son is in the club at school that gets to film all the school events and I made these for their end of the year party. Another batch of time consuming cookies, but when they're for one of your kids, you pretty much will stay up until 3am finishing them, right? Right?
