A quick little birthday cake from some super cute kiddos to their hard working daddy. Because even dads need a birthday cake! 10" confetti cake with chocolate frosting and fondant decorations.

Quilting and Butterflies

I was honored to make this cake for my sweet grandmother's 85th birthday. I can't even tell you how much I love this woman and how badly I wanted to make something that would be a lovely tribute to the life she has led. She loves butterflies and pastels. She also loves to quilt. And she has made a quilt for each child and grandchild's wedding. And she has made a quilt for the birth of each baby. I and my 4 girls have been grateful recipients of her labor of love. We also put together a book for her birthday that has pictures of each quilt and it's happy owner. Of course, she cried! She is such an amazing woman and I hope to still have such a twinkle in my eye when I'm 85. 8" chocolate fudge with vanilla buttercream and fondant, 6" lemon with raspberry filling, vanilla buttercream, and fondant.

Chevron Soccer Cake

My cousin is a bit of a soccer fanatic. And for good reason, too! The girl can rock that soccer ball! So for her birthday, we incorporated her love for soccer with her favorite colors! I love the result! It turned out so cute! 8" French vanilla cake with raspberry filling, vanilla buttercream and fondant, 6" hemisphere French vanilla with vanilla buttercream and fondant.

Stargazer Lily Rustic Wedding Cake

I'll apologize for these pictures now. They were taken in the dark with a flash. I had to do some editing to try and reduce the glare, but it's still pretty bad! This is a 9" and 6" square strawberry/lemon marble cake with vanilla buttercream and fresh stargazer lilies.

Polka Dots and Chevrons

A few months ago, I donated a cake to a fundraiser yard sale event. This is the cake I donated! It's a cute little birthday cake for twin girls. One's favorite color is pink, the other's is purple. I was just glad their favorite colors go together well! 8" French vanilla with vanilla buttercream and fondant, and 6" chocolate fudge with vanilla buttercream and fondant.

Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!

Confession time: I have never heard of these books or this author before. So when my friend sent me a picture of this cake and told me what she wanted, I was confused. I was thinking 'Okay, a pigeon cake. It's cute, but that's kind of a weird theme.' Then she told me it was based on a book, and let me borrow it to help me catch the vision. Holy cow, it is so cute! If you haven't read these, do yourself and your kids a favor and head to your local library to check these out. They are so much fun! This is a 10" almond poppyseed cake with chocolate pudding filling, vanilla buttercream, and fondant decorations.

Butterflies and Flowers Smash Cake

 A cute little smash cake for a cute little princess! Mom wanted butterflies, flowers, and bright colors. So this is what we came up with! 6" confetti cake with vanilla buttercream and fondant.

Farm cake

My nephew loves his Little People farm set, and he loves animals. So we decided his birthday cake should be based around that. My sister sneakily borrowed his beloved toys so we could put them in a farm! I absolutely love how this cake turned out! 8" and 6" chocolate fudge with raspberry filling, vanilla buttercream, and fondant. The barn is made from fondant.

Darth Vader

 So when I first got a request for this cake, I glanced at it and thought 'That looks simple enough'. As a week or so went by and I started to study it a little closer, there were a couple elements I became concerned about. And I started to wonder why I had taken the order. Concern #1: the painting on the tiers is air brushed, and I do not own an air brush. Concern #2: I had never sculpted a human figure before. Not only have I not sculpted one before, but I was terrified to even try sculpting one. But nothing ventured, nothing gained! So I did some creative thinking and I watched some YouTube videos and I gave it my best shot. I have to say, I am proud of how Vader turned out. He is my sturdiest sculpture to date, and I may not be quite so terrified of sculpting anymore. He took me about 6 hours, weighed almost 9 ounces, and stood about 6 inches tall. The cake is 10" chocolate fudge with raspberry filling, vanilla buttercream, and fondant. 8" red velvet with mexican vanilla buttercream and fondant.

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.
