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.

High Heel Cheetah Print

This is my new favorite cake I've ever done! This was for my 2nd daughter's birthday. I've been dying to try out a few new techniques I've seen out there. So I coerced her into this cake. Honestly, she is my most girly girl, so once I said pink and high heels and ruffles and cheetah print, she was giddy! The bottom tier is 8" chocolate fudge with vanilla buttercream and ombre fondant ruffles. The top tier is 6" yellow cake with chocolate pudding filling, vanilla buttercream, and hand painted cheetah print fondant. The high heel shoe is sugar paste.







Silly boys! Soccer is for girls!

Sporty girls are so fun! I have one of my own and she just brings a little variety to the constant dress up and nail painting and drama. Well, she brings plenty of her own drama. ;) This cake was for a spunky soccer loving girl who needed some pink zebra stripes thrown in there for good measure. It's an 8' French vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream and fondant. The soccer ball is a 6" chocolate hemisphere with 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.



Braves Birthday

My weekend was packed full of baseball! Actually my whole spring has been packed with it. My two oldest daughters have been in rec softball, so it's been game time every night of the week. So when I got a request for a Braves cake, I already had this ball on the brain. This is 8' and 6" chocolate fudge with vanilla buttercream and fondant.
