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.

BYU Graduation Cake

This cake was so fun! And I loved making it for an old friend! Her mother-in-law had been working so hard on her degree. She finally finished, but her and her husband got a mission call. And they had to report to the MTC before she could walk. So her family decided to throw her a graduation party and I had the privilege of making the cake. The bottom tier is a 12" French vanilla/chocolate fudge marble with chocolate buttercream filling, vanilla buttercream and fondant. The top tier is a 8" French vanilla/chocolate fudge marble with chocolate buttercream and fondant.

Baseball Diamond Cake

I made this cake for my daughter's softball team. They had an end of season party and they had a fantastic season! It was a great party with splash pads and squirt guns and lots of food! The cake was 4 8"x8" squares put together and carved into a baseball diamond. Then a 6" half sphere for the baseball. The cake was chocolate fudge with chocolate buttercream and fondant details.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

I love it when my customers give me a little creative licence on a cake. The initial picture I was given just had a moon and a few stars on top. And some sculpted animals in front. The girl throwing the baby shower said her theme was twinkle, twinkle, little star. And I had this vision of stars cascading down the entire side of the cake. I love how it looks and the mother to be loved it too! 8" and 6" lemon cake with vanilla buttercream and fondant.

It's Great to be 8 Cupcakes

These were for a baptism preview in our ward. They would be perfect for a baptism luncheon also! Chocolate fudge cupcakes with vanilla buttercream and fondant toppers.

White Baptism Cake

I made this cake for my daughter's baptism into our church. It was a very special occasion for her and our family. She wanted something big and beautiful and perfect. I think it turned out gorgeous! This 10", 8", 6" tiered cake is a mixture of french vanilla, chocolate fudge, and strawberry marble with vanilla buttercream and fondant.

Mint Fondant and Purple Sugar Roses

Can I tell you how in love I am with the colors on this cake? So spring-y and gorgeous! Never mind I was up all night making purple roses for this cake. It's all worth it in the end! This cake was my final project in my fondant class. It is an 8" french vanilla with a raspberry filling. A thin layer of buttercream under a smooth fondant finish.

Bookworms unite!

My dear daughter, bless her heart, is always volunteering me for things. The school librarian was retiring and my daughter's teacher wanted to do something special for her from the class. One of her classmate's mother was taking the same cake class as I was at the time, and the little dears volunteered us to make cake for the occasion. After we had been decorating cakes for about 1 week. Talk about baptism by fire! I made an 8" french vanilla cake with chocolate pudding filling and chocolate buttercream for the librarian to take home to her family and the other mom made a great big sheet cake for the entire class. I'm pretty sure I got the better end of the deal!

Valentine's Day

So let's be serious here. Do you want real roses for Valentine's Day? Or do you want these delicious ribbon roses? Real roses smell pretty, but these taste absolutely delicious! Pair them with a french vanilla and strawberry buttercream and you'll be in love for sure!

Summer Lovin'

Ah summer! This time of year, I'm seriously craving my flip flops! Nothing against winter and hoodies and hot chocolate, but I'm ready for a change in season. This 8" round cake is french vanilla with chocolate pudding filling and chocolate buttercream.
