New York Yankees Cake

For a friend's birthday, I was asked to make a birthday cake inspired by the New York Yankees. This cake is a vanilla cake covered in homemade buttercream. I handcolored the blue and red buttercream and drew the infamous logo on top.



Rainbow Cookies

I've always wanted to learn how to make "rainbow" or tricolored cookies and finally had some time to search for a recipe and actually make these small treats! I made three almond cake layers hand colored with pink green and yellow food dye. I then filled the cakes with a raspberry jam and topped with a chocolate ganache and chocolate sprinkles.

Fondant Calla Lillies Cake

I completed my fondant and gum paste course and took pictures of my completed fondant covered cake. I made a chocolate cake, filled and covered it in homemade oreo buttercream. I then covered my cake board in yellow fondant and used blue hand colored fondant for the cake itself. All flowers were hand made and decorated out of gum paste.

Sugar Flowers

I have been taking a fondant and gum paste class and learned how to make an array of sugar flowers for cakes and treats. These are some of the flowers I have created. If anyone is interested in ordering cakes for any occasion, I am able to make buttercream as well as fondant covered cakes decorated with any designs including the sugar flowers below along with other types of flowers requested.

Best Buy Cake Pops

For another Best Buy order, I was asked to make red velvet cake pops. I made the cake pops and dipped them in blue and yellow colored white chocolate.

Valentines Day continued < 3 (a dozen roses.. i mean cake pops)

Another order that I made for valentines day were cake pops made into roses. I used red velvet cake dipped in white chocolate and sculpted the rose with petals that I shaped out of homemade modeling chocolate. I also have a few roses decorated with pink hearts placed on by hand.








Valentines Day < 3

Hey everyone so for valentines day I recieved a ton of different orders and thought I would split them up into different posts. This first post includes pictures of the red velvet cupcakes I made. I decorated these with homemade cream cheese frosting and topped with mini heart sprinkles and a pink fondant cut heart that I made by hand. I also created chocolate decorated strawberries dipped by hand in pink or white colored chocolate and drizzled with designs or covered in sprinkles. Lastly, I made red velvet cake pops. These were dipped in pink or white colored chocolate as well and decorated with the same designs as the strawberries.






Black Forest Cake Pops

This is just a quick post that I wasn't able to upload sooner. I recieved an order for cake pops made with black forest cake. This was my first time ever making black forest cake but I recieved great feedback.  This shows the chocolate cake with cherries covered in white chocolate.
