Just a fun birthday cake! All hand painted, every detail with the exception of the red striped "stick" is in sugar.

Yummy! Someone was a "winner"!

Totoro

I was commissioned to make this adorable cake this week! 

I was unfamiliar with Totoro until this, and it's so adorable! My kids were familiar with it though! Apparantly its a Japanese Anime series.

Loved this cake!

Cheers!

Sweet Sixteen

I threw together this cake for a friend of mine, for her daughters Sweet Sixteen party today! 

Even more exciting, I channeled my new favorite French Macaron flavour into the top layer: it's a white chocolate cake with fresh raspberries, a pink raspberry buttercream, and pomegranate in the middle. It sure smelled amazing! 

All the flowers are handmade from gumpaste, and I airbrushed the fondant, as well as hand-applied glitter. It's a sparkly shimmery concoction, perfect for a girly girl!

Cheers!

Hoover Dam

Congratulations to my father who retired after 30 years of service!

I was thrilled to be able to make this very special cake for him, as my earliest memories as a small child are when he worked at the Hoover Dam!

Congratulations!!

Happy 29+1 Birthday Cake!

Black & White Wedding Cake

What a fun couple this was! The bride went with a complete black & white theme, think "rockabilly". I had alot of freedom with this cake!

The draping and lace on the cake was meant to compliment her dress, and it did!

I do believe this is my favorite wedding cake thus far. I love any cake with edible lace on it though!

Cheers!

Phantom of the Opera Cake

This cake was SO fun to put together! I have a blast working with the different elements, all the detail work, those special little touches to make it "Wow"


A close friend of mine has a son who is HUGE into Phantom of the Opera. And well, I ADORE Phantom of the Opera. So, when she asked me to do a birthday cake, I jumped at it, and well, I took the design a little to the extreme, but hey, why not, right?


Everything you see on the cake is made of some form of sugar, from fondant to gumpaste, to modeling chocolate & modeling paste. Most of the details were hand-painted, and all the scrollwork & gold details were done with piped royal icing pieces, then attached to the cake with "glue" (AKA more royal icing!)


I did take some liberty with the music box, merely because I wanted to personalize it. My overal design inspiration was from another baker, who did a cake for a closing night of the show.



I really REALLY enjoyed making this particular cake....it was a very personal "labor of love".

Yes, I am willing to re-create it for you, with YOUR special personalization!

Honestly? I would LOVE to be asked to do a larger version for a closing night of the play, perhaps at a local high school here in the High Desert, or the local community college. I'd even be thrilled to do it for peanuts. *hint* *hint*





Soooo, yes, if any of my followers out there, if you are aware of a local High School doing Phantom of the Opera next year (since it was recently approved for High School Drama use!!), tell them to contact me!!!!



And my dream? To also see the sequel. The music is haunting, Andrew Lloyd Webber really out did himself with "Love Never Dies", I don't care WHAT the critics say!!! Hello?! Will you PLEASE bring it to Broadway?? London or Melbourne is just too far away!!



I will continue to update on a more regular basis....I have quite a store of things I've done over the past year, that I haven't yet shared on here!



Cheers!

iPad Cake!

This one was FUN. my friend Ricki wanted something special for her husband, Rody. As Rody received an iPad for his birthday, it ONLY made sense to also make him an iPad cake!

She also made him an ADORABLE iPad birthday card, personally, I think the card took the cake! =)

The cake was my double-chocolate cake with a dark chocolate ganache & buttercream. I used my white chocolate fondant (handmade, just delicious!!), and then I hand-painted the rest of the details, with pieces of gumpaste for the "buttons".

Truely a fun cake!!

"Yes you can have your cake, AND eat it too!"

Luggage Cake!

Back in March, I was given some creative liberty to create a cake for a Bridal Shower. The couple are just adorable, an older couple. So, I went with the theme of what a Bride in the 1950's would have to go on her honeymoon.

Luggage trunk, cute little handbag, nosegay, box of "jewels". It was a blast! Every detail you see is made of some sort of sugar work.





Their wedding was just yesterday (March 19, 2011), and I also handled that event as well. As soon as I obtain the edited photographs from the photographer, I will post them!

We did over 700 miniature cupcakes, a small oval 2-tier cake, and GORGEOUS flower arrangements. The large Curly Willow with Hydrangeas, and stunning hanging crystals!


More to come. I'm working on updating much of the recent work we've been swamped with. Much thanks to my intern, Kaylin, who is going to be a FABULOUS event planner in her own right!! I couldn't do it without her!

Cheers!

Artwork

What IS this? Just a little mini-cake I threw together last night.

White Chocolate Fondant, hand-painted with shimmer dust (Super Pearl), and then some fondant accents (handle, rope, and the "11"), and the leaves and little accent is out of candy clay, molded and painted.

I used Silver Luster Dust, Super Green, and Champagne. I also used edible glitter for the "11"

The inside was Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese icing. My special mix! Yum yum!! It was cake that was MUCH enjoyed! This was used as a centerpiece. It looked like some sort of figurine, one lady thought it was a porcelain piece! Maybe a teapot!!

We have a wedding coming up on 10-10-10, so watch for an update with pictures! We're doing the cake, flowers, AND cake balls.

A new cake ball flavor! Cream Cheese Brownie. Mmmm. It's GOOEY!!

Cheers!
