Woodsy Wedding Cake

Yay for getting to use the airbrush! 
This cake is a chocolate and white marbled cake (bottom) and a red velvet layer cake, covered in buttercream, and then in marshmallow fondant.  The mushrooms are gumpaste/fondant and the swirls are modeling chocolate!

Butterflies and Roses Wedding Shower Cake

First time making edible rice-paper butterflies and they turned out so cute! Very fragile, but very realistic. 
Citrus white cake with lemon flavored buttercream.

Just Call Me BeNi Van Gogh

My flash hit it rather strong...

So here's the cake with the birthday girl looking more like it did in real life!

Happy Birthday Megan!

Happy Valentine's Day!

BeNi has Erica O'Brien Cake Design to thank for the idea for this cake!  I loved making the sugar hearts and was happy to donate this cake to the Lion's Club in Eagle River for their scholarship fundraiser this past weekend.

Hello Friends!

Most of you know we have a new baby coming very soon and I am not taking any orders for a while.  With the need to travel to take them on tour (haha!) I am predicting no orders until June 2012.  Long time, I know!  Exceptions are possible if I'm home for a weekend, just email to check.  I won't know for sure until closer to the dates though.

I'm working on updating the blog with some serving size and pricing features to help figure out a consistent pricing for my cakes.  You will notice that cake prices have risen due to myself having a busier household and family time becoming more valuable.  BeNi is no longer in practice mode!  I am now comparable to other private bakers and do not wish to undercut their amazing talents.

Thank you for your support and understanding and Happy Holidays and New Year!

I'm a Little Teapot!

Happy 3rd Birthday to my sweet girl!  I can't believe how fast she has grown up and how girly she is sometimes!  We had two parties, both tea parties, and thus the need for two cakes.  I think I have the teapot cake down now. 

First one was chocolate with vanilla bean buttercream and the second was strawberry cake with buttercream.  Both covered in marshmallow fondant and hand painted with color gels.
