Penguin cake

I really like the shape of this cake. It's a little different from a regular round cake so it's a bit more interesting I think. The penguins and snowballs are made from mm fondant. If you click on the picture to enlarge it you can see all the funny little penguins. I have one on ski's, I used spaghetti for the ski poles, and one eating an ice cream cone with a cherry on top. I even put a little tiny cherry stem on it. The cake came out really cute, if I do say so myself!

Poinsettia Wedding Cake

Here is a picture of the cake at the reception. When I was making the cake I commented that it would look nice with white lights and tulle around it. I had to smile when we delivered the cake because the table for the cake was set up just like I had mentioned.

This cake came out pretty. I was not too sure how a blue wedding cake would look but I really like it. It's simple yet elegant.

Smurf Cake

It's not perfect but here it is! Came out pretty cute I think.

Snowman Cake

For this cake I was asked to make a simple winter theme with snowmen on a 9x13 cake. Here's what I came up with. The poinsettia on the cake is made of gum paste. This was my first try at a gum paste poinsettia. I wanted to practice since I have a poinsettia wedding cake due just after Christmas.

Owl Baby Shower Cake

For this cake I got to use my 1st impressions baby mold- which I have been anxiously waiting to use. I think it came out really cute. I made the owl out of rice krispie treats so that it would be sturdier since the cake had to be transported quite a distance.

Striper Fish Cake

Fishing is not something that I am very familiar with so when I was asked to make a cake to look like a Striper fish I was a bit stumped. After looking at lots of pictures of Striper fish this is what I came up with. I really like the wood look on the cake. I covered the top of the cake with light brown fondant and then using a knife made lines to look like wood. I then took some food coloring mixed with almond extract and spread it on the fondant.

Jungle Birthday Cake

Every jungle cake that I have made so far has had handmade fondant animals on them but for this cake I used plastic toys. It was just so much quicker and I have been so busy. I think the little animals are cute. The trees are gum paste with pretzel trunks. The little #1 cake at the top is for the birthday boy. I just decorated it simply with butter cream.
