Coffee Logo Birthday Cake

My son and his co-workers threw a surprise birthday party for their boss, so I made them this 12" cake to help celebrate. Vanilla cake with vanilla creme filling, buttercream frosting and marshmallow fondant accents. I used the coffee house logo, shown below, as inspiration. :) Pam sent me the most wonderful handmade thank you card . . . I just love it when people appreciate my cakes, makes it so worth it!

A 21st Birthday Martini Cake

Well, this cake was INTERESTING, for sure! Lol. The birthday girl, turning 21, wanted a martini cake, but her color scheme was gray and dark purple. Hmm? Well, this is what I came up with. Chocolate cake with cherry filling and buttercream frosting, I made the drinks, 21 and "bubbles" from vanilla candy melts. The curly ribbon is marshmallow fondant.

Simple, Elegant, Chocolate Buttercream Frosted Wedding Cake

This was a somewhat last minute cake for a bride who wasn't picky and let me choose the design for her small wedding cake. It's yellow cake filled with a layer of chocolate fudge and a layer of chocolate mousse. Chocolate buttercream frosting. The little flowers are marshmallow fondant. I really liked how it turned out like old leather . . . Was really a pretty effect.

Super Sweet Candy Birthday!

Had a great time designing and making this super sweet cake for mr super sweet niece, Gracie. Chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling, buttercream frosting and marshmallow fondant accents. The cupcake on top is a white chocolate base with a lid made of rice krispy treat and fondant. It opened up to reveal some hidden candy treats!

BOISE STATE FOOTBALL BIRTHDAY CAKE!!

Made this cake for the son of a dear friend of mine. They obviously have great taste and share my love (passion, really) for Boise State Football, heh heh. ;) It's vanilla cake with vanilla creme filling, buttercream frosting and marshmallow fondant accents. The birthday crowd thought the filling was cake batter, lol, and loved it more for that, lol.

Pretty Blue and Green Flowered Birthday Cake

Made this cake for the daughter of some close friends and wanted to make it kind of special. I went for a two-toned design and made fondant flowers using Wilton Fondant and Gumpaste molds. I loved how those worked! The cake is chocolate with vanilla creme filling and buttercream frosting, and the marshmallow fondant accents. I think it turned out unique and lovely, just like the birthday girl! :o)

Skylander "Portal" Birthday Cake

Having never heard of "Skylander" before, this cake was a bit of a challenge for me. Turns out, it's a video game, and apparently a popular one at that. Not popular enough yet, though, for there to be too much out there on the old www. LOL. So I did the best I could, after all, I LOVE this little nephew a great deal.  And he was happy with his cake, which makes ME happy with his cake. :O) It's all about the smiles, I'm telling you.  This cake is 2 tiers of vanilla cake with french vanilla creme filling and buttercream frosting, with marshmallow fondant accents. The character on top is an actual game figure, as I just didn't have it in me this time to try to create one from fondant . . . Don't ask me what the symbols on the cake actually mean, as I haven't got a clue, lol.

Western Wedding!

Well. It's true, I generally don't do weddings. I mean, I DO have a full time 40+ hours a week real-life job and all . . . and weddings, they take TIME. But this was a favor for my beloved mother, who after all, did bring me into the world and opted not to "take me out of it" though I'm sure I pushed her to that limit on more than one occasion. So, these were for the daughter of a friend of my mother . . . and originally it was to just be a small wedding cake, but somehow it grew into 125+ regular sized cupcakes, 36+ mini cupcakes, and a 6" 2 layer small wedding cake for them to cut. I made 4 kinds of cake: yellow, french vanilla, chocolate and "funfetti" as that's what they wanted in the layered cake. :o) The frosting is vanilla and chocolate buttercream, with marshmallow fondant accents, most hand formed, some hand cut with fondant cutters. I don't yet have a photo of the cupcake tower at the wedding . . . hope to get a good one soon, as I did hear that everything at the wedding looked wonderfully western . . .

Boise State Jersey Birthday Cake

40th birthday for the husband of a friend of mine, and she decided to surprise him with a party and this BSU Jersey birthday cake. It's chocolate cake, chocolate fudge filling, buttercream frosting with some marshmallow fondant accents (numbers, stripes). Had fun with it, especially since Boise State is my team, too!

Film Production/Movie Cake

This was a special cake, as it was for my son's 18th birthday. He loves production, film and editing, so I tried to put those things into his cake. He seemed to really like it, and I liked how it turned out as well. It's chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream frosting and filling, with marshmallow fondant accents, all hand formed.

Wrapped Gift Birthday Cake

Made this cake for a dear friend of mine. It's chocolate fudge cake, with chocolate fudge filling, buttercream frosting and marshmallow fondant accents. I used pearl dust (edible) to shimmer up the ribbons on top, as this friend has such a "sparkly" personality. :o)

 

Benefit "Fosdick" Cake

Went to a golf scramble this weekend, a fundraiser for New Meadows, ID. Had a great time. For the dinner, we all brought desserts to share, and my contribution was this chocolate cake covered with buttercream frosting, filled with vanilla creme filling. The Fosdick Benefit logo, piped by hand, was done using a photo on my iPhone as a guide. Was kind of funny because they meant to auction the cake, but someone cut into it before they could, lol!

"Classic Pooh" Baby Shower Cake

Had some fun with this cake. :0) It's vanilla cake with French vanilla creme filling and buttercream frosting. All the figures are hand formed from marshmallow fondant. Love Pooh Bear . . . Reminds me of younger days.
