Jake
So, this cake was my first experience with graffiti...after a little online research, all I have to say, is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! I can't believe the skill and designs that graffiti artist have! This cake was made for a birthday boy who loves graffiti, running, and art. It is a vanilla cake with raspberry filling.

A little Vintage
With this cake I was told I could decorate it however I liked...Those are always the ones that take the longest to decide on a design and are the most fun to make! I had seen a similar design on cakecentral.com that I wanted to try. This was my take on it. It was fun as usual! Chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling.

This cake is for a girl turning 8. She loves bunnies and pink (which the patches actually are, they look more purple in the photo). It is chocolate cake with strawberry and vanilla mousse fillings. It is decorated in fondant. Carved cakes are especially fun because you never know quite how they will end up until you are done...It was fun to try a bunny. I went with a stuffed animal bunny. I always worry when making animal cakes about the awkward moment when you have to cut the thing in pieces. I figure it wouldn't be as weird with a stuffed animal.
I have to tell you that I am having a tough time finding a good spot to photograph my cakes since we moved. So, sorry for the weird lighting on some of them. I like to use natural light, but don't have windows facing the right direction that will work. I'll get it figured out though. :)

Jeanette
I love making cakes! It is so fun to get to be a part of people's important events in some little way. I also like how it makes me feel like I know a stranger a little better. For instance, I don't know Jeanette, but she is an avid shopper who just turned 50. She sounds like a fun person. Her friends and co-workers ordered this cake for her and were pretty nice about the small amount of black on it :). I was told that lime green is the perfect color for her (one of my favorites)...she has to be fun, right!? This cake is chocolate with chocolate mousse. It is decorated in fondant. I hope it was a great day!

Bobi's Baby Party
Love this girl!! She is having her 4th boy and we HAD to throw her a party. The little goodies are cake balls (a mixture of cake and frosting, or caramel, or something that holds it together and dipped in candy-YUM!) The flavors are chocolate caramel, smores, and vanilla with rainbow chip. It was a blast and so good to see her again! Congrats Bobi!

For My Husband...
This is the cake I made for my husband's 33rd birthday. I was trying to use up some fondant I had and so I used the colors I thought would work best...he thought it looked a little "girly" so I added the football on top. :) Oh, and he said I couldn't put Justin for the title of this post...he "didn't want anyone calling me and asking for 'the Justin' ". What a funny guy! It is a chocolate cake with raspberry filling and vanilla mousse. Happy birthday Honey!! I love you!

This cake was for my daughters 5th birthday. She pretty much knew what she wanted and told me how to do it :). She even helped put on the flowers. She LOVES her birthday and I think she really liked her cake. She picked vanilla cake with vanilla mousse and fresh strawberries. Happy birthday MacKelle! Love You!!

Surreal!
A few weeks ago, I got an email from Jackie at Cake Central Magazine. She asked If I'd want to make a cake or two for their magazine. I only had a week to get them made, photographed, and sent in (not to mention other cake orders that I already had). After a LOT of hours that should have been spent sleeping, I finished. My good friend Geri at Orchid Photography took some BEAUTIFUL pictures of them.
Today I got my June 2010 issue of Cake Central Magazine, and found both the cakes included!
The theme for this cake was draped, twisted and/or knotted fabric.
I NEVER dreamed I'd have pictures of my cakes in a magazine! How fun! I just had to share my excitement with you, and a BIG thanks to Geri again for sharing her time and talent!

When I met with this bride she told me about wanting to put her cake in a birdcage-I was instantly excited! Way to think out side the box (or maybe I should say inside the birdcage Ü ) How fun! I loved how unique it was and how well it went with her wedding. Congratulations to the new couple-You guys looked fabulous! (oh, and I LOVE the green with the black and white!)
