Baby Mickey Mouse Cake

This weekend I had to make a Baby Mickey Mouse cake :D The cakes were vanilla with raspberry cream filling yum! For the bottom tier I cut out different colors in the mickey mouse shape. The second tier  I tried creating the baby mickey's overalls. The top tier had baby Izayah's name in white fondant. For the topper I tried replicating the invitation which had a baby mickey sitting with a cupcake in the front and a number 1 in the back. :)
This is the mickey invitation we received in the mail! :) So cute huh :D

Damask Wedding Anniversary Cake

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! I finally received an order for a wedding anniversary cake! :D I'm moving on up lol! So this was to celebrate the couple's 7th year wedding anniversary! She requested vanilla cake with raspberry cream filling...if you haven't tried this combo....you need to! IT IS DELICIOUS!!! I handpiped the damask pattern...which took a while but it was well worth it...and

made a red gumpaste flower and the couple was also made out of gumpaste. I hand painted the words "feliz aniversario" with black food gels and clear vanilla extract. :)

Luau Hawaiian Theme Birthday Cake

This is a 3 tiered cake and it has different layers of vanilla, chocolate, and lemon cake. The vanilla cake has a pineapple filling. The chocolate cake has a chocolate mousse filling. And the lemon cake has a vanilla custard filling. I made six red hibiscus flowers which were pretty dang easy to make actually! What took a while were the kiddos on the cake. They were cartoon characters of her kids :D They loved the idea of "eating themselves" lol I love how much practice I've gotten from making cakes. You can tell I'm better at smoothing fondant ^_^ Not to mention the amount I save from making it myself at home! The stuff at the stores is EXPENSIVE! It's been really hot these days so on the way to the party, the fondant started bubbling out. I grabbed a toothpick....poked a hole...hid it with a leaf...and DONE! Nobody noticed :)

The Brony Cake

This is a "Brony" cake and from my understanding...it's a guy version of "My Little Pony". I thought it was a very cool idea! :) The cake is red velvet with strawberry cream filling. I covered the cake with white fondant. I used different colors of royal icing to create the image of the brony.

All packaged and ready to go :)

Father's Day Cake



This was just a simple cake my husband and I made for the dad's at our church. It was two layers of cake inside that were vanilla and chocolate with chocolate mousse filling and chopped almonds. I buttercreamed all the outside and added some fondant letters and a fondant classic truck. The details were brushed on with a mixture of food gels and clear vanilla extract. The outlines were piped with royal icing. I decorated the sides of the cake with chantilly lace. :)
