How to Train Your Dragon

 This was such a fun cake to do, and really was less difficult than I anticipated. Just had to do a little carving. Toothless is a favorite in our house, so it was fun to watch my own kids with this cake. 8" carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and fondant. Toothless is a plastic figure, not sculpted by me.




Star Wars cake

 The birthday boy who wanted this cake postponed his birthday party almost an entire month so I could make his cake for him. He and his mother were super patient with me while I was off vacationing with the family. But eventually we got it done! My daughter was a little freaked out by the Yoda feet. She thought they were creepy haha! 10", 8", and 6" hemisphere confetti cake with vanilla pudding filling, vanilla buttercream, and fondant.






Planes cake

My nephew is a big fan of Planes, specifically Dusty. Confession: I have never seen this movie all the way through. But he loved his cake, so that's what matters! 10" confetti cake with chocolate buttercream and fondant.





Batman, Take 2. This time with cupcakes.

 This "little" cake evolved from a 6" smash cake with cake pops to a 10" round cake with cupcakes. The guests were hungry, lol! The cake was chocolate fudge/french vanilla marble with vanilla buttercream and fondant. And the cupcakes were french vanilla with vanilla buttercream and hand cut fondant toppers.



Gerbers and Chevrons

This cake was for my sister's birthday, and I pretty much had free reign on the design. I knew she loved purple and I knew she loved gerber daisies. So I did some Pinterest searching and drew up a design from there! This cake turned out so cute! This 8" and 6" tiered cake is strawberry with vanilla buttercream and fondant.

Black Pearl Leopard Print

My niece and my daughter; two peas in a pod! It makes sense, since their birthdays are only 3 weeks apart. My niece wanted a cake similar to my daughter's, but different. So this is what we came up with. I love the light pink and black ruffles together! Girly cakes are so much fun! This is a 6" and 8" tiered cake. Confetti cake with vanilla buttercream and fondant.




Buttercream Ruffles

This little smash cake was fun! This was my first time trying buttercream ruffles, and they were so fast and fun and easy! This is a 6" strawberry smash cake with vanilla buttercream.
