Captain America Cake

This year for his 6th birthday my son wanted a Captain America cake.  How fun!  Captain America has  a big 'A' on his helmet and my son's name starts with 'A' so there you go, it was meant to be!  I made a "patriotic poke cake", where you take a white layer cake, poke each layer with holes and drizzle blue and red jello over the layers.  It turned out pretty cute and really yummy!

The Red White and Blue!

The 'A'

The shield!

Ready to light!

Ready to eat!  YUM!

Barbie Cake

This black and white zebra print with hot pink barbie cake was CRAZY to do!  I've never done a barbie cake or a zebra print (thank goodness for Cake Boss and Google images, lol!).  Lots of learning going on, but I think it turned out pretty cute.  I made it for my friend's daughter's 6th birthday party.  I'm guessing she had a barbie theme going on! Hope you like :)

Bridal Shower Cupcakes

These cupcakes were for a bridal shower.  The Bride's colors are brown and turquoise.  I'm more used to dreaming up cake designs rather than cupcakes, but it was fun.  I LOVE the colors!

Horse Cake

This cake was for a sweet little girl for her 8th birthday.  Her mom provided the horse figurines (wish I could say I sculpted all of them out of modeling chocolate, LOL!).  This was such a fun fun cake to create!  I love it!  The cake is a 3 layer, 9 inch, chocolate cake with mint cream filling.

The chocolate cake recipe is a sour cream chocolate cake that I've made several times.  The recipe calls for 5 egg whites beaten to stiff peaks and then folded into the batter.  The last time I made it the egg whites deflated when I took it out of the oven and the whole cake shrunk like a nightmare soufflé gone wrong!  Yikes!  This time around I decided to scrap that step and just add the egg whites (unbeaten) with the rest of the wet ingredients and it turned out fabulous.  What a relief, and so much easier!

Hope you like :)

Relief Society Birthday Cake

I made this cake for our ward's Relief Society Birthday Celebration. When I was designing this cake in my head I was hoping for something old fashioned, pretty and girly to compliment the theme of the evening "Women of faith from our heritage". I think I accomplished that :). I love it. The bottom tier is a 12" vanilla cake with lemon cream filling, the middle tier is a 9" chocolate cake with a vanilla cream filling and the top tier is a 6" mint chocolate chip cake with chocolate buttercream filling. My house smelled so good baking that mint cake!! Good reviews all around on the taste. Hope you like!

Cub Scout Cake

I made this cake for the cub scout blue and gold banquet.

Red White and Blue Cake

Made this cake for the Republican Party fundraiser dinner. It will be auctioned off. I hope it brings a lot of money! :) I absolutely love it, it was so fun to make! It is a lemon cake with raspberry cream filling - mmmm...delish.
