40th Birthday Cake

My friend, Kim, was throwing a surprise 40th birthday party for her husband so she asked me to make this cake for her.  He enjoys a lot of things and she wanted to get a lot on the cake.  His main interests are golfing, basketball, hunting and fishing.

 Here is the basketball player, we thought at 40 he might be a little winded.

 The fisherman was a little surprised to be catching 40!! 

 Here is the golfer, going for a putt.

 ok, so this one turned out interesting.  I tried to make a deer with antlers in the shape of 40.....

Happy Birthday Cory!!

Base cake flavor was German Chocolate with coconut pecan filling.  The top cake was chocolate cake with peanut butter filling.  Covered with fondant.  Decorations are fondant/gumpaste.

Pink, Pink, Pink Princess Cake

This cake was right up my alley!!! I loved making it!!! My Aunt Dawna ordered a cake for her YW New Beginnings Program.  It was all about being a Princess.  They talked about the scripture princess, fairy tale princess and how each of the girls are a princess.  They based it off a talk by President Dieter F. Uchtdorf. So we came up with the idea of using the book to represent the places they would read about these princesses.

These beautiful shoes are made out of gumpaste, totally edible.  I don't know who would want to each such adorable things, but if you want to you could.

The name of President Uchtdorf's talk was Happily Ever After

AH!!!  Check out the cute Tiara!!!  I have wanted to make this since the beginning, so a few years now and I finally got the chance...and wow was it nerve racking!  It is made out of royal icing, piped out onto a pop bottle to get the shape and it was very very fragile!!  I was happy to finally see it on top of the cake in one piece!

All the jewels on the mirror are made out of poured sugar = edible!

CUTE!!!

This was our first attempt at the pillow cake, and I loved it! I spent majority of my time making the pillow part of the cake.  I have recently been obsessed with ruffles, so I was having a great time making the ruffly goodness around the pillow. 

This was so much fun making, and even more fun to deliver.  Just imagine a room full of teenage girls all excited about something you've spent many hours creating.  such a satisfying feeling!!

Thanks for the opportunity to make this cake Aunt Dawna!!

White Wedding Cake

White wedding cake, simple yet elegant. The bride was going to add a bouquet of flowers on top, but when we delivered they were still a hour away from arriving, so I didn't get to see them on top. 

Gold Quilted Wedding Cake

This is a 3 tiered quilted wedding cake.  The bride wanted it to look like a gift with a bow on top and ribbons running down all 4 sides.  Along with the quilted look, edible gold pearls were added at each cross point on the quilting.  Turned out beautiful!!!
