Zebra Print is Always Fun

This was all butter cream. I just pipped the black zebra stripes all over the cake. It was really easy to do and makes a fun cake. There is no rhyme or reason to it, you can't really mess it up, just have fun with it.










This is a fondant version of a zebra cake. Personally I like the fondant better, it has a cleaner look.

John Deere Cake

This cute little cake was for my nephew Tren. He loves tractors, farms, cars, planes -boy stuff-. So I thought he would love this John Deere cake. It was super fast to make. I used a grass tip to pipe the hay and colored fondant to look like wood to "hold" the hay together, then added cake crumbs as dirt. Tren ended up loving it and that is what counts!

A STARS WARS BABYSHOWER

My sister is decorating her little baby boys nursery with a Star Wars theme and wanted to do a Star Wars theme for the baby shower as well. It was fun and different. The cake was really simple. I marbled the fondant with black, grey, and blue and then covered the cake. I hand cut the letters to look like they were from the movie. I made a "Death Star" out of cake and then pipped the different lines all over it. I think it turned out pretty good, and my sister like it!

Curious Rome

 My little Rome is 4 now! He loves Curious George and when I asked him what theme he wanted for his birthday that is what he choose. All the decorations are made from fondant. To make the streamers I just wrapped the fondant around my tools (you could use something like a pencil). I just hand cut out everything else. Yes, the yellow hat was all fondant and no, I didn't let anyone eat it (even though I was asked many times by many kids)
I love my little man! Happy Birthday Rome!!

Gender Reveal Cake


My sister is pregnant and wanted a fun way to tell everyone what the gender of her baby is, so I made a cake! I did a ruffle tutu on the bottom and a mustache with a bow tie on the second tier. It turned out pretty cute. I baked the cake to reveal the gender - pink for a girl and blue for a boy- so when they cut into it they found out the gender. 
P.S. 
It was a boy! They are so excited, congrats Kim and Michael!

Let's Dress Up Like A Tiger

My daughter Annalyse wanted to have a dress up party for her birthday. She decided to dress up as a tiger and wanted her cake to dress up like one too.
She loves fondant so this was a perfect cake for her. Barbie cakes are actually really easy to do and it is a lot of fun for me to design dressed for them. Annalyse loved it and it was a big hit at the party!

Criss Cross and a Bow

Sometimes something simple and easy can turn out really cute. I wanted to make a quick little cake for my mom's birthday. I love to try out new things and have seen something similar to this before. I wanted to use fun bright colors, so I choose this peachy pink and lime green. I used a cookie cutter to cut out all the "x" shapes and then used a scalloped pizza cutter for the bow. Even though the entire side of the cake is decorated it went extremely fast.
