This was for Naomi, who had a gymnastics birthday party. It's hard to see, but the figure on top is doing the splits. Cake was chocolate with chocolate buttercream.

Ombré Polka Dot cake
This cake was for a sweet girl in my church class. She loves shopping and her birthday party was a scavenger hunt at the mall. Love it! She wanted a cake with ombré dots- her favorite colors are hot pink and teal- with a Nordstrom bag on top 🙂 trouble, I tell you!
Nautical Cake
This cake was for cute Sadie who turned 11. The anchor is made of gumpaste/fondant. I loved the dots on the sides- it was supposed to look more like the dots were cut off at the edges of the cake but alas, I am a bad measurer. 😦
Love Bird Cage Cake
So, I've never really thought of a birdcage theme party, but apparently, it's common. Google birdcage cake images and you'll see. Huh? Anyway, this was for a bridal shower where the theme was love birds. The cage is made from stacked rounds and the top was baked in a metal bowl for the half sphere … Continue reading Love Bird Cage Cake

Cinderella Cake IV
Ok, so I've done quite a few Cinderella cakes. I love the shades of blue and swags and bows you can do to fit the theme. This was for a little four year old. The blob on the right is a glass slipper painted in silver luster dust.
Surfing Foofa cake
For a little girl who turned two and loves the moon, Foofa and surfing with her dad. Uh, that's the moon, not a banana. The moon is made of rice Krispy treats. Foofa is hand made from fondant/gumpaste. Cake was vanilla and vanilla.

This Is the first July 4th cake I've been asked to make. I used this adorable pinwheel idea from the Cake Blog. They're so … Continue reading 4th of July cake
Dinosaur cake III
So I've been asked to make a few dinosaur cakes and I'll admit this is a difficult request for me. I've made figures out of fondant, tried a 3D mold pan... And I wasn't that happy with either of them. So this time I used the idea on the Internet of cutting up rounds and … Continue reading Dinosaur cake III
Missionary Farewell Cake
In my church, young men go on missions in their late teenage years. Recently, this age was changed from 19 to 18, so suddenly, all the high school seniors were turning in their mission papers. Now that they've graduated, there is a mass exodus this summer. This was for a young man who got called … Continue reading Missionary Farewell Cake
