Eagle Topper Wedding Cake

2 Girly Birthday Cakes

Fun cakes to make, and I love how they turned out.  The colors are a little off in the picture for some reason but you get the idea.  The big one was for a little girl turning 7, and the little one is for a wonderful girl turning 15 who is gluten and dairy free.  That was an experience, a first for me but she said it tasted wonderful!

Legend of Zelda Cake

We had a combined birthday party for both my older boys this last weekend.  Both have become Legend of Zelda fans.  They told me right away what kind of cake they wanted and this is what I came up with.  People who know Zelda understand it, I don't lol! 

I learned from doing this cake that working with gumpaste is A LOT easier than working with fondant for cutting out detailed images.  You can roll it out thinner, cut it cleaner, and it dries harder.  Actually I learned that from the monkey cake but had forgotten and tried to cut out the gray detailing around the shield from my homemade fondant and was about to tear my hair out trying to make it look nice. (I technically didn't use gumpaste, I added Tylose Powder to my fondant so that it would turn into gum paste.  It works great though! Details :)

I also tried something new with this cake.  I frosted it in ganache instead of buttercream under my fondant.  I have heard that ganache is what they primarily use under fondant in Australia and England, so I finally tried it.  I. LOVE. IT!!  Oh my goodness, all the annoying issues I have with buttercream suddenly vanished and I had a perfectly smooth and flawless cake under the fondant and as a result the fondant was perfectly smooth and flawless.  And it didn't get way too soft and melt and bulge under the fondant in this 100 degree weather like buttercream does.  And one more perk, it tasted yummy and my heart didn't go into crazy palpitations from too much sugar when I ate a piece.  AHHHH Loved it!!

Little Monkey Cake

This cake was to celebrate the kids who have summer birthdays in a 1st grade class.  The teacher had a monkey theme throughout the year.  I love this monkey, he turned out so cute!

The summer birthday kids!

Grey, Teal, and Coral Cake

Pink and Black Bow Cake

I adore this cake.  I love how there is no rhyme or reason to the circles, just very random and whimsical.  The bow was fun to make.  Hope you like!

Pink and Black Polka Dot Cake

I was asked to do this little cake for a little girl's first birthday photo shoot.  I thought it turned out so cute!  I think they're going to have her tear into it and eat it in the shoot, how fun!  I love it.  

Cornelli Lace and flower cake

   I made this cake for my birthday. I made only one cake but I had made 2 flowers and couldn't decide which one to use on the cake so I put one on one side and the other on the opposite side.  Turn it 180 degrees and you have a whole new cake!  After placing the flowers, I much prefer the dark one but the white was pretty too.  I love how the lace turned out, hope you like it too!
