Trace

Happy Birthday to my Trace!! He is such a great kid, and I love him to pieces!!  Living with me and all my constant cake making has had some interesting effects on my kids...first- they change their mind pretty much all year long-usually deciding they want one like I am currently making, second-once they finally decide on a cake they are VERY specific about what they want, and third- Trace is SICK of cake! So this cake is a brownie "cake" with marshmallow cream filling (per his specific request Ü) It is kind of tall and narrow, so I have a dowel drilled into a board that is supporting it. It is decorated in fondant and modeling chocolate.

Rick

Shelby Mustang birthday cake for a great guy...Hope it was a super birthday!

Ellie

This was for a super cute little girl's 6th birthday. She had a princess tea party, and wanted a teapot cake. The tea cups were made of white chocolate for the ice cream to be served in. The cake is vanilla with a strawberry mousse filling. Happy birthday Ellie!!!!!

TCT Farewell

 This cake was made for a TCT West (a local telephone, cable, and internet company) employee retirement farewell. It is a red velvet cake with cookies and cream filling. It is fondant cake that is painted with a brown food coloring to give the wood look. The cord is made from black licorice, and I used modeling chocolate for the receiver, dial, and bell.

Joan

So much fun!! This cake was so tall and narrow, I had to try some new construction techniques. It ended up being around 2 ft high. It is a chocolate cake with caramel filling, and vanilla cake with vanilla filling. The light in the top turns on, so it is a "working" lighthouse. Hope it was a great birthday!!!

Rhett

Vanilla cake with cream cheese filling, decorated in fondant. Made for one of my best customers! I hope it was a great birthday!

Dino-riffic Birthday!

Chocolate cake with peanut butter filling. This cake is frosted in buttercream and decorated in fondant.

Josephine

 Made for a true cowgirl! She is the most real cowgirl I have ever met! This is a cake replica of her saddle. I put a Diet Pepsi in the saddle bag on one side because she is hardly ever without one! :) (I love me a cold diet Pepsi too!) The cake is chocolate with chocolate mousse filling. The saddle is covered with modeling chocolate and the hay bale with fondant.

The other saddle bag has a book, representing her years teaching.

Here is her actual saddle...the inspiration :)

Justin

For the golf lover! This cake is a snickers flavored filled chocolate cake.

Puppy Birthday

 For a super cute little girls birthday! This little puppy is made from strawberry cake with vanilla frosting. It is decorated in fondant....awwww... :)

The Capitol Building

This was a fun idea by some creative parents to announce to their girls that they were going to Washington D.C. It is a chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and raspberry filling, frosted in buttercream and decorated in fondant.

Camero Grooms Cake

 The bride said she would get her groom a car...so it came in the form of cake! The headlights even lit up!!!

Zach

 This cake was for a young man who was graduating from high school. It is made after his awesome 1971 Ford Mustang...he also took flying lessons, so that is represented by a chocolate airplane "flying" above the car. It is a marbled cake with raspberry filling, and is decorated in fondant and modeling chocolate.

This was a challenge for me.  This car was the Biggest car I've ever done (more than double my usual car), making it more difficult to carve proportionately, and to decorate...I was happy with the end result, but was working on it right up to the deadline...Also because of it's size I wasn't able to get a good picture (I have a small workspace), so I wanted to thank Denise for sending me some pictures!!

LA Lakers

There was some conflict in our home when I made this cake, my husband being a HUGE Celtics fan...I had to protect it until it was picked up. :) It is a chocolate cake with peanut butter filling, and is decorated in fondant. Happy Birthday Scott!

Dylan

 This cake was ordered for an 18th birthday. This is a cherry chip cake with almond buttercream icing, decorate with modeling chocolate and fondant. One of the birthday boy's fav snacks are pistachios, so that is what this truck is haulin'.  Happy Birthday Dylan!

 Oh, and here is his super fun, HUGE truck that the cake is made after...

 I wouldn't mind one of those...could you see me delivering a wedding cake in that? :) Guess I am stuck with my minivan.

Despicable Me Birthday

This little guy is a chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling (very chocolate-y....mmmmmmm). I haven't seen the movie Despicable Me yet, but I thought he was pretty cute. :) Happy Birthday Stephanie!

Plane fun!

I think airplanes have been the most challenging carved cakes to make for me so far. They are really odd shaped (not as much room for cake, because the body is long and narrow), and the structure is more complicated. This is the second plane I've ever done, and I was really happy with how it turned out. It is a chocolate cake with German chocolate filling. I hope it was a great birthday and I hope he was surprised! :)

Rhett

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. :)

Brent

This cake was made for some good friends of ours. It is made after the birthday boy's favorite car. I hope he had a great birthday! This cake is vanilla with vanilla mousse filling it is decorated in modeling chocolate and fondant.
