Mother's Day Cake

 The flowers for this cake were from my last class.  They are on top of a chocolate cake with rasberry filling, covered in cocolate gonache.

Pretty in Pink!

This was a strawberry cake, with cream cheese frosting and covered in marshmallow fondant.

It was the final to my last class.  Minnie took it to work and her co-workers were sooooo happy. 

Tinkerbell and Bluebird

Tinkerbell and Bluebird

Here is Miuccia's 5th birthday party cake. It was a rainbow cake with cream cheese frosting and decorated with marshmallow fondant.

I had removed tinkerbells legs, and I think it freaked out Miuccia when she pulled Tink out of the cake. It was pretty funny!

Spring Chick!

We decided to forgo the traditional slaughter of the lamb cake this year, and went for the meek spring chick, which was a delicious lemon cake covered in coconut!

Pretty Penguin

Here is Miuccia with her Pretty Penguin Cake.

It is a rainbow cake and rice krispy treat figure, covered in mm fondant.

Chloe's Zebra Cake

Chloe's request was for a lime green rainbow cake. She wanted animals, but didn't want it to be "baby-ish". There was a special round of ooohs and aaahs when the cake was cut.

This was an egg free cake, covered in cream cheese frosting and mmf.

Genevive

Genevive's 80th Birthday Party, attended by her mahjong, euchere and drumming circle groups, was a big hit. Her favorite (ok, only) son orchestrated the evening, and her family honored her with their presence. There was lots of laughs, Stories were sometime stretched, but it was all memorable.

Gen took the top tier home to serve at the tuesday euchere game!

Desmond

Celebrating 60 years was never suppose to happen. Desmond's doctors told his mother he wouldn't live past 30.

She as well as hundreds of his friends and church members celebrated the miracle of Desmond's life at a big picnic.

The finished cake had a lot of 60's on the cake as well as a birthday wish.

Mom's Birthday Cakes

Mom's favorite flowers are geraniums and tulips. I made her a clay pot made with carrot cake and and a pineapple flower vase. They were both adorable.

The carrot cake was covered in cream cheese frosting and mm fondant. The top is crushed oreo's, which really looked like dirt. For fun the gummy worms came a crawling.

The pineapple cake was filled with pineapple and covered with cream cheese frosting and mm fondant.

I had never made wired flowers before, but I think these turned out pretty good. Mom is saving them to show her friends at an upcoming luncheon.

I love the geraniums. I used brown dust on the flowers, and painted the leaves. In hindsight I should have made twice as many leaves.

She's leaving us!

Beth is leaving us soon. For her fairwell bash, her mom, Robin, commissioned this cake. It had replicas of a la thomas guide and california map. Her new address tag was her favorite part.

Loved this cake!! It was devil's food, dark chocolate ganache, marshmallow fondant.
