Seahawks Birthday Cake
Happy Birthday to a good friend of ours who moved to the Treasure Valley from Seattle. Good year for him, with his team winning the Super Bowl! Chocolate cake with a combo white chocolate cream cheese and raspberry filing. Frosting is all buttercream with the logo hand piped.
Chic 1D (One Dimension) Sweet Sixteen Cake
Wild and chic at the same time, had fun with this SweetSixteen Cake. Combined sweet, simple hearts with sassy zebra stripes to complement the 1D logo on top, for a birthday cake any teen girl would enjoy. Red velvet cake and white chocolate cream cheese filling, buttercream frosting and marshmallow fondant accents.

Stacked Logs Birthday Cake PLUS Picnic on Log sheet cakes
This was a HUGE commitment for someone who works full time. I was happy to agree to do it for a very sweet friend who was helping to plan a surprise birthday for their church pastor. Crazily, the hospital ended up with planned downtimes, TWO nights the weekend these cakes needed to be finished, and of course I had to be there. I busted it out though and was really happy with the results. My one regret was not transporting the cakes myself. These cakes are so tricky and balance is KEY. There was some sliding, and the middle tier crushed part of the back of the bottom tier. :( I went over to try to save it and as long as it didn't fall after I left, it looked pretty ok, just a little more lopsided than was ever intended. Hopefully Pastor Mascroft still enjoyed his birthday celebration!!
The top 2 tiers of the big cake were chocolate and the bottom was yellow. The sheet cakes were 1 yellow and 1 chocolate. Raspberry filling in all of them, and a combination of buttercream, chocolate buttercream and marshmallow fondant accents.
