Mexican Fiesta Birthday Cake
This festive cake is a two tiered "fun-fetti" cake with buttercream frosting and marshmallow fondant accents (the maracas and the jalapeno peppers are mmf). This was a very fun cake to make! The birthday girl decided what colors she wanted and what she wanted on the cake, but the rest was up to me. I really enjoyed it. Hopefully they enjoy it at the birthday party even more!

Retro Eighteenth Birthday
This is a fun cake I did for a fun loving 18 year old. He wanted bright retro colors, and he wanted it to be about him. So I put him on the cake, with his shades, shorts and tennies, and added a soccer ball, basketball and some books. Lots more to this guy, but could never fit it all on one cake! 3 tiers, all chocolate fudge with chocolate fudge filling. Buttercream frosting with fondant accents.

Wine in a Basket cake
This cake was done for a fiftieth birthday . . . the cake is golden vanilla with cream cheese filling. The "shredded paper" is just grated candy bark, the cake is frosted with buttercream and chocolate buttercream frosting, with marshmallow fondant. The wine bottle (which I would have made a little longer, with a longer neck, if I'd had the time) is chocolate fudge cake, covered in marshmallow fondant, and the grapes are mmf also. :~) This was a fun cake to do!

Octopus Under the Sea Cake
The theme was just "ocean" so I narrowed it down and went with an octopus as the main attraction . . . we were in Seaside recently and the octopus on display at the aquarium was fascinating, so naturally I gravitated toward that. :~) The bottom tier is a two layer chocolate cake covered in marbled buttercream. The middle is yellow cake, as is the head of the octopus, who is covered in marshmallow fondant. Couldn't resist turning the extra batter into the family of Octopi surrounding the cake!

Fenway Park Cake
This is of course not an exact replica of Fenway Park, but still a fun cake for any Red Sox fan! Sorry, Yankees, the Sox beat you soundly in this game! Two layer chocolate cake, buttercream frosting with fondant accents. The press box and spectator stands are rice krispie treats covered with buttercream and fondant. The "Green Monster" is also rice krispie treat covered in frosting and fondant.
