Happy Birthday Monique!

Cream cheese frosting is a little tricky. I wish my hands were freezing like Ni's are, then it wouldn't melt in the bag so fast! I was still happy with how it turned out and just put the flowers over the swirls that weren't all that cute.
The cake is layered inside alternately-vanilla, strawberry, vanilla with white cream cheese frosting between. I snacked on the tops of the cake that I cut off and it is YUMMY!


Gotta love the sippy cup on the table!

A Simple Cake

Happy Birthday, Señora Jarrín!
I wanted to try making marbled fondant and this was the result! Not nearly as exciting as the Africa cake that "Be" made, but the 75-year-old birthday girl loved it!

African Safari

This is for a party we are headed to to celebrate our friends recent trip to Africa!


It is covered in marshmallow fondant and fondant detailing. The sunset is painted on using frosting coloring and rum, which was a first for me and I loved how it turned out! It dries so nice and shiny! We'll see if you can taste the rum at all in just a few hours...I used citrus flavored rum just in case you can. It's an orange flavored cake, so I thought it would be a good compliment.

Brother/Sister Birthday Cakes

These cakes were made for a 9-year-old boy and his little sister. They (their family, the cakes and us) traveled 4 hours to the party.

One cake is cherry chip and the other is a plain white cake. Both have a light layer of buttercream frosting and are covered with buttercream fondant. They were impressed and I had fun!

A Robot!



Chocolate cake, buttercream frosting, and marshmallow fondant! Used marshmallows and donuts for his arms.
Happy 5th Birthday, Aiden!

Happy 1/2 Birthday, Candice! (or so it would have read...)




First time with marshmallow fondant as opposed to buttercream fondant. It was much sturdier, but I think I prefer the taste of the buttercream.
