High Heel Shoe Cake

The high heel shoe is made from gum paste. I found a pattern and several helpful videos online to teach me how to make the shoe. It is actually pretty easy and surprisingly sturdy. The shoe box was fun to make. My favorite part is the writing on top of the box. I free handed the lettering with a small brush and some food coloring mixed with almond extract for the "paint".

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.
