Toy Story cake


Vanilla Sour cream cake with vanilla buttercream and covered in fondant. The "Happy Birthday" logo was made from fondant, and I added Tylose powder so it would harden. I propped it up against the side of the cake (as per the client's design) I made the topper using my Arts and Crafts skills. I cut out a piece of foamcore board, and glued wrapping paper to it. I then bought a Toy Story notebook, and cut out the images i wanted and glued a collage on the board. I then stuck a wooden dowel through it and stuck it through the top.

King Boo cake

I made this cake for a young boy who is facinated with Super Mario. This character is featured in the game, but don't ask me what it is or does, I'm new to all that. This cake is Vanilla sour cream coverd in buttercream and fondant. The tounge is made from Rice Crispies, and covered in fondant. I cheated with the crown, and made it from gift wrap paper.

A friend of mine surprised his Mom with a wonderful party, and this cake! Its all Red Velvet cake with cream cheese icing, covered in fondant.

This was a massive cake and weighed a ton, but I had alot of fun making it.

Sesame Street cake


I made this cake for a little boy's second birthday. It is White almond sour cream cake with a layer of cheesecake as the filling. I made the figures from rice crispies and covered them with fondant. I prefer to do it this way because it makes the figures much lighter on the cake.

precious moments baby shower cake


This is a baby shower cake I did for a friend. It is my popular coconut/pineapple cake with rum flavored buttercream icing. The cake topper was done with various arts and crafts material. The image was a color printout pasted on foamcore circles. I used scrapbook paper to cover them, and trimmed the boards with ribbon. I got the ideas for the caketoppers from this site http://cakeartist.weebly.com/new-cake-toppers-i.html

Lavender Wedding Cake


My latest wedding cake is a Caribbean Black Cake, rich with fruits, rum and port wine. It's covered in a generous layer of marzipan almond paste, and fondant. The purpose of the marzipan is to keep the liquor from seeping through the fondant.

DJ Turntable cake


This was done for a local DJ's 40th Birthday party. The cake is Red Velvet, with Cream Cheese icing, covered in fondant. The caption on the cake, "Bless no Stress" is a saying that the DJ is noted for. This cake weighed a ton, and nearly put my back out trying to transport it, let alone getting it the fridge!

Little Diva Baby Shower cake


I made this cake for my friend's baby shower. She approached me with the idea of doing yellow pound cake with cheesecake filling. I had recently done a cake exactly the same, so it was a coincidence the cakes were requested only days apart. I had never heard of this combination until now, so it was a challenge for me, but I pulled through with no problem. This cake was covered in fondant. The crown is embellished with silver dragees, and a plastic jewel.

Dora the Explorer Birthday Cake


I made this cake for my daughter's 2nd birthday. She loves Dora the explorer, and was absolutely thrilled when we brought it out. The cake is is pineapple coconut, covered in cream cheese icing and homemade marshmallow fondant. I also made vanilla and chocolate cupcakes as well. Sometimes young kids don't always like coconut, but you can never go wrong with traditional flavors!

For the Love of Science


This is a cake commissioned by a good friend of mine who wanted to surprise her fiance with a birthday cake. He is a science buff so she wanted to make sure there was reference to it. I made the character out of fondant following several tutorials compliments of Youtube! The flavour is golden yellow cake, and the filling was cheesecake along with a generous amount of cherry pie filling. It was covered in cream cheese buttercream icing and homemade marshmallow fondant. This ended up being massive, but hey- you can never have too much cake !
