Crème de la Cakes

Over The Hill cake

2012-01-11T15:55:00.000-08:00

This was for my sister's 40th birthday back in October. Her husband was throwing her a surprise party and requested something with a "death" theme since she was turning 40 and the house was already decorated for Halloween. The cake was red velvet with Bavarian cream filling and chocolate Italian meringue buttercream. The flowers are gumpaste and the gravestone is covered in fondant. At the last minute I added yarn hair to a skull I found in the Halloween section at the store and placed it on top. This was such a fun cake to make!

Here's one of my sister with my oldest daughter.

This cake was for a December 21st wedding. The decor was all damask black and white with accents of green so this is what I came up with. The top two cakes are Styrofoam forms and the bottom was chocolate and buttercream with fondant.

Minions

2010-09-10T10:57:00.000-07:00

Birthday cupcakes for a little boy who wanted the minions from the movie, Despicable Me. The little guy is made out of half a Twinkie, Smarties for eyes and black licorice hair. You can find instructions and much better photos here.
Sorry for the fuzzy photo. I didn't know it was out of focus until after I dropped off the cupcakes. Speaking of dropping, this is the one I dropped in the sink right after taking this photo. Of course, there was a big bowl of soapy water right where my slippery fingers were hovering. Argh.

Cupcake Tower

2010-03-23T18:39:00.000-07:00

This was a wedding back in August. The cupcakes were chocolate and lemon with fondant accents on top and real flowers tucked in between and on the top tier.

Bride wanted me to replicate a cake she had a picture of. Bottom is chocolate with chocolate mousse and top 2 are lemon with lemon curd. All 3 tiers are 3-layer, 6-inch cakes.

Girl birthday

2009-08-14T17:21:00.000-07:00

A birthday cake for my twin nieces. They picked a bug theme so I made some dragonflies and a butterfly for the top (although it's hard to see). I wrote their names out of the bug "trails" and dusted the holes with pink luster dust. I also dusted the flowers, dragonflies and butterfly.

baby shower cupcakes

I made these for a baby shower dinner for two friends - one is having a boy and the other a girl - so I sprinkled on some blue and pink dusting sugar and bought some plastic binkies at the dollar store. The cupcakes are cherry chip.

2009-06-02T13:06:00.000-07:00

Here's the cake from my brother-in-law's wedding this past weekend. This based on a design the bride found. Reminds me of Cinderella's carriage. :o)

Jamie's Baby Shower

2009-05-20T16:51:00.001-07:00

This was a fun cake to do. I made the booties from some baby shoe inserts my mom saved for me. I had to leave early so hopefully it tasted good! ;o)

Ashley - sweet 16

2009-02-02T13:36:00.000-08:00

This cake was for my niece who's only request was that I make it purple with silver. I surprised her with some zebra print too because she loves zebra and black & white. Cakes were funfetti with raspberry and chocolate with bavarian cream.

I forgot my camera this day, but my sister (who did the decorations) was nice enough to take a picture for me. The design was copied from a picture the bride sent me.

2008-10-02T11:43:00.000-07:00

I was supposed to have 2 cakes this weekend and they both canceled. Then, I got a call for a last-minute birthday cake - an artist's palette. Piece of cake (pun intended)!!
