Happy Easter Cake

Last minute Happy Easter cake. 2 tiers of vanilla cake with vanilla creme filling and buttercream frosting. I love Easter, so was happy to get do do an Easter themed cake for my co-workers. They work really hard and deserve a treat every now and then! Hope you all have a VERY HAPPY EASTER!!

Whimsical Musical Birthday Cake (Neon Colors)

Another cake for a teenager, turning 18. Dang, they grow up FAST!She was at the party where the other NEON cake was at (see below) and wanted a similar cake to celebrate with her family. :o) I wanted to make it kind of whimsical for her, and keep those trendy colors. She likes music so I used the notes to try to give it some personality. It's two tiers, 2 layers each, of french vanilla cake with french vanilla creme filling and all buttercream frosting. Freehand design.



**Side note** When I went to deliver this cake, no one was home! So mom said to go through the garage and leave it on the kitchen counter . . . I did, but only after she assured me there were NO animals in the house, lol!

Life is a Bowl of Cherries Birthday Cake

"Life is a bowl of cherries!" Mary Engelbreit themed birthday cake for my mother in law. I do love this design, it just says "happiness." :o) It's two layers of french vanilla cake with french vanilla creme filling and all buttercream frosting. Freehand designs. The bowl on top is cake, covered in buttercream. The cherries are just buttercream frosting with added powdered sugar to get a texture I could roll into little balls. mm mm mmm!

Last Minute Anniversary Cake

So I was shopping at Target (or Tar-zhay if you want to sound exotically silly ha ha), looking for who knows what (it WAS several days ago!) when I ran into my dear friend Val who mentioned they were throwing a last minute party for Tony and Steph's anniversary (Tony knew, Steph didn't) and could I come? "Would love too", I said! "What can I bring? Do you have a cake? No? I'll bring one!" SOMETIMES I wonder what I am thinking, ha ha! This was the same day I made the ladybug cake (see previous post) and after delivering that cake, I literally had less than 2 hours to bake, decorate and arrive at the party. But, hey, not too shabby, right?!! I thought it was kind of quaint and cute. :o) It's a butter pecan cake with vanilla creme filling and buttercream frosting. The leaves and flowers (look familiar? ladybug cake? ;o) ) and the black outline of the heart are marshmallow fondant.The party was fun, a little karaoke, a lot of good food, and some great friends! Even a Christmas tree (Tony proposed Christmas Eve twenty-something years ago) to add to the ambiance! Yay for fun parties!!

Ladybug, Ladybug . . . Birthday Cake

I loved how cheerful this cake turned out. :o) And just in time to say "Hello Spring!" This cake is french vanilla with vanilla creme filling and buttercream frosting and marshmallow fondant accents (the flowers, leaves, and ladybug antennae). The big ladybug is made from rice krispy treat covered in buttercream. Her antennae are toothpicks covered in mmf.

Softball Cupcake "Cake"

Had a request for a softball "cupcake cake." I wasn't 100% excited, because cupcake cakes are not my favorite. I hate that you can't get them symmetrical . . . They were, however, what the birthday girl wanted and practical, as she took them to a game and they were easy to hand out during the game. I heard later that the birthday girl hit and scored after eating hers. :o) So, maybe they're not so bad after all!

Pretty in Pink Fashion Birthday Cake

This cake was FUN FUN FUN to make! I'm not sure it could be any more "girly" lol. Two tiers, 2 layers each, of french vanilla cake. Filling is raspberry filling sandwiched between french vanilla creme. Buttercream frosting. The purse is made from rice krispy treat covered in marshmallow fondant. The jewelry and makeup are all marshmallow fondant. Sorry for all the pics, but there's a lot of detail on this one. :o)

NEON Lights BRIGHT BRIGHT BRIGHT Birthday Cake

Happy 18th birthday to my son Jay's friend Allissa! They're had a surprise party for her, all NEON, so Jay asked me to make a coordinating cake. It turned out super bright and I hope they had fun and enjoyed it! Both tiers are two layers of vanilla cake with french vanilla creme filling and buttercream frosting. The cupcakes are dark chocolate fudge with buttercream frosting.

Mariner's Birthday Cake

This is for a good friend of ours. My husband requested that I use the "old" Mariners logo . . . It's 2 layers of golden vanilla cake with vanilla creme filling and buttercream frosting, all free-hand.

WILD and CRAZY Colorful Birthday Cake

This WILD and CRAZY cake was just F-U-N. The birthday girl wanted bright colors, specifically:n eon green, purple, hot pink, and turquoise blue. She wanted polka dots, stripes, swirlies and zebra print. I think I got it all in, ha ha. The cake is 10" on the bottom and 6" on top, both 2 layers of red velvet cake with vanilla cream filling. The frosting is buttercream. The "13" on top is rice krispy treat covered in buttercream.

DELICIOUS Rocky Mountain High School Baseball Cake

Mmm mmm mmm. Chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate. Mmmmmmm. Add some raspberry filling sandwiched inbetween chocolate mousse under chocolate fudge and I believe you have something real special.
I think this would be a very delicious cake, but I didn't get to taste it, lol. It's 2 layers of chocolate fudge cake (with pudding AND sour cream) and chocolate mousse AND raspberry filling, with chocolate fudge frosting and buttercream accents. The baseball and logo are free-handed with buttercream frosting. :o) Here's what the cake taker said: "Hi Cathy! We actually bid on this cake at the auction and it was quite deilicious!!" (I know that she meant delicious, I will take it any way you want to spell it, ha ha).

CHEERFUL Daisies and Ladybugs Birthday Cake

This is just a cheerful little chocolate birthday cake with chocolate mousse filling and buttercream filling. Don't daisies and ladybugs just make you smile?!! And I liked this color combo a lot, too. It disappeared from the counter at work so I think maybe it tasted alright, as well. ;o)

A Baby is Blooming!

This is a two layer triple chocolate cake with raspberry filling and all buttercream frosting. All free-hand. :o) Made for one of the sweetest moms I know. ♥
