6" Roses Cake (for cross-country plane trip; it made it!)

Hand-painted Rose Birthday Cakes

Simple Birthday Cake, Buttercream Rosettes

Just a very simple little cake for a celebration with friends. The birthday girl ended up being ill and missing her party, but we partied on without her. :-) This was vanilla cake with vanilla custard filling and buttercream icing.

Antique Rose Birthday Cake

This cake was for a 40th birthday. It was supposed to be somewhat Victorian in style, not quite sure how well that came off (looks slightly saloon girl-ish to me ha ha), though I do love how it came out. Cake is chocolate vanilla swirl with vanilla creme filling, buttercream icing and marshmallow fondant. 

Tiffany Blue and Coral Graduation Cake

On the morning of this graduation party, I was sitting around at home with not a lot to do and not being very industrious. I had been thinking I should've made a graduation cake for the party girl, and wondered if they would still let me. So I asked the grad and she was thrilled. Since I only had a few hours, 4-5 really, I got right to work. I kept it simple, but I loved the color scheme of Tiffany blue and coral, which made it fun automatically. I made the fondant flower first so that it could dry and I made it as thin as possible, so it would dry more quickly. The piped roses are super simple, but so sweet and pretty. I added a few silver edible pearls and VOILA! I loved the charming look it had, and it looked great with her party decor.

White Roses Wedding Shower Cake

This cake was so easy, thank goodness. I had to make it on a work night, after meeting from which I did not get home until 10 PM. So I went with the easiest, but most elegant, look I could get away with for this wedding shower cake at work. The cake is vanilla with buttercream icing. What a great technique to get such a great look with minimal effort!

Rose Covered Cake

Made this for the daughter of a good friend . . . have never done this technique before, but I definitely will again, as I LOVE the look and it was not too difficult. This is vanilla cake with raspberry filling. Went along perfectly with the old fashioned theme at her daughter's graduation party. Oh, and I also loved the glass plate I found to put the cake on . . . shaped like a leaf, so pretty.

Pink Poodles in Paris

I didn't plan on this cake being so big . . . but big it was! It's 3 tiers, 6", 9" and 12", and each is two layers of french vanilla cake with vanilla creme filling and buttercream frosting. The 10 roses on top (1 for each year for the birthday girl!) are made of marshmallow fondant. This was such a FUN cake to work on. Since I have 3 boys, working on girlie cakes is a treat for me! And I really did like how the poodles turned out. This was for a sweet little girl whose middle name is Paris, so she gravitates toward everything French and Pink Poodles in Paris was her pick this year. :o) Happy Birthday to you Miss Marli!!!
