"Once Upon a Time" Cloud, Moon and Stars Baby Shower Cake

This was a crazy busy weekend, but I promised a friend at work I'd make this cake. See, they asked me if I couldn't do it, then who did I recommend? Aaaaaaand, I didn't have anyone I could refer them to. :o( So, I made the cake. LOL. And I'm really glad I did, because I actually had fun doing it and I loved the way it turned out. They had a nursery rhyme theme . . . Once Upon a Time, which I thought was so cute. Hopefully mom to be enjoyed the cake. It was chocolate with a sinful chocolate fudge filling and buttercream frosting with marshmallow fondant accents. The baby is hand formed from mmf. The moon is rice krispie treat covered in mmf.

Bird's Nest Mother's Day Cake

Chocolate cake filled with both chocolate buttercream and French vanilla creme filling, then covered in vanilla buttercream. Flowers, bird and nest are all marshmallow fondant. Mama bird is even sitting on some little eggs . . . Made the flowers a pretty off-white to set them off from the white cake, and really like the antique effect that it had. Had fun delivering this to my own mother and grandmother, who both deserved a grand cake. :-)

Minnie Mouse Birthday Cake

M-I-C-K-E-Y . . . Oh, wait, this is a cake for MINNIE Mouse. :-) She deserves a song of her own, I think. I made this cute little cake for the granddaughter of a gal at work. She asked me to make it pink and I took it from there. Turned out it matched the birthday girl perfectly, so adorable. She wore a pink skirt with white polka dots and little Minnie Mouse ears on one corner.

This cake is vanilla with french vanilla creme filling, buttercream frosting and marshmallow fondant accents. The hat is made from rice krispie treat covered with mmf.

German Chocolate Birthday Cake with Chocolate Bow

Celebrated the 50th birthday of our good friend, Rich, and had so much fun! German chocolate was his cake request, so here it is. Used a new chocolate buttercream with a secret ingredient which was, in my opinion, amazing, lol. Also drizzled with my favorite chocolate fudge frosting. Coconut pecan filling and my first ever hand made chocolate bow topped it off. Yes, I made it!!  I was sure I'd break all those bow loops . . . Used whoppers as a sweet border. I have to say, it was not a bad tasting cake!

Zebra Striped Birthday Cake

I made this for a friend of mine, whose daughter was turning 6. She had the CUTEST party decor and treats to match this cake. Can we say, "PINTERET"? LOL So much fun for the birthday girl and her little guests I'm sure! This cake is chocolate AND vanilla zebra striped inside and out. Buttercream frosting with marshmallow fondant accents and french vanilla creme filling.

BRIGHT Pink and Green Zebra Birthday Cake

The birthday girl wanted hot pink zebra, lime green zebra, and traditional zebra . . . but I only had time for 2 tiers, so I chose to make the giant "11" out of rice krispie treat and use the traditional zebra there . . .   chocolate and vanilla "zebra striped" cake, buttercream frosting and marshmallow fondant accents. A very "wild" cake but I think the birthday girl loved it, and so did I!

Easter Cupcakes!

Vanilla and chocolate cupcakes with buttercream frosting and marshmallow fondant accents. The little eggs are Cadbury, my VERY FAVORITE Easter candy, mmmmm. I used the Wilton fondant mold for the little flowers and hand formed the little chicks. They are super easy, just make some circles, add eyes and a little beak . . . set atop a swirl of frosting (star tip) and voila, you have an Easter chickie! Easy peasie . . . My cupcake stand (also Wilton) looked so cute at our Easter picnic . . . I made both regular and mini cupcakes and I thought the whole dislay was adorable. :-)

Good Friday Baptism Cake

Baptism cake for Good Friday service at Valley Life. Vanilla cake with chocolate mousse filling, buttercream frosting with marshmallow fondant flowers. 

I LOVE the Wilton fondant molds. They really make it easy to add some very fun fondant accents without taking all day, and can help turn a plain old cake into something festive and fab. :-)
 

Boise State Blue Turf - Tiered Birthday Cake

One of my most favorite themes: BOISE STATE FOOTBALL! :) Made this cake for my coworker's husband. Chocolate Fudge cake with buttercream frosting. The football is rice krispy treat covered in marshmallow fondant. Freehand logo. There's also a blue BSU jersey on there but you can't see it since the field is blue . . .ok, there's not really, and if you got that joke you must be a BSU fan!! lol, gotta love it! Go Broncos!

Bunco Dice Cake

This is a VERY simple cake . . . I couldn't sleep one night so decided to throw together a cake for the next days Bunco party. Chocolate and vanilla tiers, with buttercream frosting and the dice are marshmallow fondant.

Pigs in a Mud Bath-Happy Birthday Kit Kat Cake

This is a copycat cake of one that a friend posted on my fb page. It was so cute I had to give it a go, and here's the result. :) Yellow cake with chocolate fudge frosting and marshmallow fondant piggies . . . Of course the tub itself is KitKat candy bars. Grass around the bottom is buttercream. Even though its not my original design, still love it. ;)

Planes, Trains and Automobiles Baby Shower Cake

Made this baby shower cake to match the new mom's nursery. I'm happy it didn't look too "babyish." :) This cake is 9" and 6" tiers of golden vanilla cake with French vanilla creme filling, buttercream frosting and marshmallow fondant accents, hand shaped/cut. The airplane on top is rice krispy treat covered with mmf. Stayed up too late to perfect it but it was a crowd pleaser which always makes it worth it. :)

Baby Bird Baby Shower Cake

Spring was my inspiration for this baby shower cake . . . Ok, so it's still winter and only 40 degrees at the warmest part of the day, but we're out of the single digits and a girl can dream, right?!! ;)

This is a chocolate cake (6" tier and 9" bottom tier) with chocolate mousse filling and buttercream frosting. All the decorations are marshmallow fondant, the birds, nest, and branches are hand formed and I used a Wilton fondant mold for the leaves and flowers. I was really happy with how it all came together!
