Leopard Cheerleader 50th Class Reunion Cake


I made this cake for my mom, and her high school reunion, which she was brave enough to host at her own house. The cake is yellow, with vanilla cream filling and buttercream icing. I hand formed the leopard from marshmallow fondant. I thought it turned out really cute and fun and hopefully everyone liked it. 






Taylor Swift 22 Birthday Cake

So my oldest son always has to do something fun and kind of "different " for his birthday theme. :-) This year was no different, and he had a Taylor Swift theme, specifically her song 22. I made a cake to coordinate.
It's white cake, with vanilla creme filling and buttercream icing. 




Mountain - Hiking Wedding Cake

I made this cake for a friend from work, and sadly, it never made it to the venue. At least, it never made it in this condition. I had not planned on delivering the cake, but was asked to a day or 2 before, and I didn't want to say no. I TOTALLY SHOULD HAVE SAID NO! Instead, I attempted to do it by myself, there was construction, a bump, tears, and enough said. They were able to salvage enough to serve their guests, but no one got to see the cake, except me. :-(
The cake was vanilla with buttercream icing. The bottom two tiers had blackberry filling, the top had huckleberry.  The figures were hand formed from marshmallow fondant. The trees were rice krispy treat and buttercream, and the boulders were rice krispy treat with marshmallow fondant. Below are some before pics of the trees and boulders.



I waited to finish the tops of the trees until I placed them on the cake, so I could pick them up. 

I really thought the finished cake turned out nicely. Still sad about the cake disaster!
