Baby Girl Baptism Cake

I really had fun with this cake... I love the white and light pink theme. And the butterflies. And the ruffles. And the little girl... ooooh she is so stinking adorable! Oh, and the fact that they call my cakes "Trouble Maker Cakes"! That pretty much rules. :) This little girl is going to have 2 big brother body guards, so those future boyfriends better watch their backs!

This is a white cake with buttercream frosting. The accents are both fondant and buttercream, and of course the butterflies need to sparkle, so I sprinkled them with a little shimmer dust.

Olympic swimming cake

My oldest just turned ten. He's quite the little gentleman, but ouch for me. I am old enough to have a ten year old. I remember MYSELF being ten and feel like it was just yesterday. He is so into swimming right now so he wanted this cake for his big 10th birthday!

The round cake on top is banana cream with banana cream filling, frosted in buttercream and covered in fondant. The bottom cake is chocolate with cookies and cream filling, frosted with buttercream and then covered in fondant.

Who knows, maybe in 8 years, I will be making him one for his first Olympic gold ;)

Mine Craft Creeper Cake

So to be totally honest, when Lisa asked if I would do a Mine Craft Creeper cake, I tilted my head to the side like a confused puppy... or like I was trying to figure out what the adults on Charlie Brown are really saying, and I may have even stared off into space with my mouth hanging wide open like Patrick Star because I had no idea what this video game is all about!  BUT, I am always up for a challenge- so I googled it and and tried to educate myself on it...and may have even tried to play the game so I could make the cake just right. (Roughest part of my job, right?)
I was surprised it was just a green dude with a frown. Totally do-able. (Did I ever tell you how much I REALLY dislike that word "Do-Able"... I don't know why I keep saying it. Here's the cake before I drive myself nuts...



Tinkerbell cake

I love Tinkerbell. She is sassy and feisty, but sweet and adorable. And I love the little girl who wanted this cake... (who is not sassy or feisty at all- but is very sweet and adorable.)  :)

The cake is white with buttercream frosting. The inside of the cake is frosted with a different color in between layers, so when it was cut, there was a layer of green, yellow, and pink frosting separating the layers.
