Spring is coming!

For a customer order, I was asked to make a springtime tiered cake. The first tier is made up of a layer of yellow cake and red velvet cake, filled and covered with homemade buttercream. The second tier is two layer of red velvet cake also filled and covered in vanilla buttercream. They were then covered with handcolored fondant and decorated with royal icing that I colored green and used to make grass and grass blades on the cake. I also used about 25 sugar roses in red, dark pink, yellow and light pink, all colored and hand-made out of gumpaste. To top the cake off, I made a few butterflies in light blue and purple out of gumpaste. This is definitely one of my favorite cakes so far!

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.
