Two Peas in a Pod

My cousin, Lisa, asked me to decorate a styrofoam cake with fondant.  The theme was “two peas in a pod” for twin girls.  The colors were brown and pink.

SG wanted a castle cake for her princess birthday party.  Mommy obliged!  SG castleThis cake was a 2 tier pound cake with buttercream and fondant.  The towers were paper towel rolls rolled in fondant, topped with cake cones and sugar cones rolled in blue sugar.  She LOVED it, so it made me proud.

Birthday Smiles

Our church holds an annual birthday party for our Keenagers (people over 55 I think...). They asked me to make a cake in pastel colors with smiley faces on it. It is sour cream pound cake with buttercream icing.

Goin' to the Chapel.....


I had the HONOR of making my sister's wedding cake this past weekend. While it was an honor, I would have to say it was a labor of love. Just kidding! I am such a perfectionist, and buttercream is a perfectionist's nightmare!!! But without further ado, here it is:


It was the good ole standard-sour cream pound cake and buttercream icing. It tasted FABULOUS if I must say so. I try to accomplish something new with each cake I make. This was the largest to date. It fed 75 people! So, how do you think I did? Be honest.

Tea Time!

Our church hosted the 1st Annual Mother Daughter Tea, Saturday, May 8th. I wanted to post a picture of the centerpiece I did for the beverage table.



This table and tea set is actually not cake. It is styrofoam covered in fondant, with a fondant tea set. I thought it turned out pretty cute.

Remember my tree cake? Well it made a return for Bodie's big debut. Here is the tree cake, again, but with added leaf letters spelling out his name!

Shelby's Sweet 16


This was a sour cream pound cake with butter cream icing. All decorations (excluding the sunglasses) are made of fondant. This one was fun to make! Who doesn't love a little hot pink and black?
What do you think?
