Owl Family Baby Shower Cake

I don't think I can make anything cuter if I ever try. Strawberry almond cake with cream cheese frosting. You can't see it here, but Daddy owl has tattoos and Momma owl is holding a carrot so everyone in the family was proper.

Autumn Apple Basket Cake

A cake to celebrate September Birthdays. I really enjoyed making this cake. The inside is an apple spice cake with very heavily vanilla'd butter cream frosting. Bottom layer is chocolate fondant, the top layer, apples and leaves are standard white fondant dyed the appropriate colors.

Bulldog Cake

A (mostly) sugar free confection for my dear friend Mike Matthews of Channel 24 fame. I was given free reign with this one, and I thought it was only fitting to make a bulldog for the bulldog.

Sugar Free (splenda) Chocolate and coconut creme pudding cake.
Sugar Free (splenda) Frosting.
Standard Fondant (not sugar free..i'll have to try that out some time)

Sunshine Baby Shower Cake

Savannah will be nicknamed "Sunny", so we wanted to incorporate that in to the cake. The other request was to hide pink somewhere in it. I ended up making a vanilla cake pink with food coloring and using a hot pink butter cream frosting on the inside. I also couldn't resist the tiny pink polka-dotted bow on top.

Iron Man Cake

I actually got super excited when I was asked to make an Iron Man cake. Of course, being the geek I am, I thought we were talking about the super hero. The discussion actually went on for quite some time before we were on the same page. THIS Iron Man is the symbol for the Triathalon, which the recipient had just completed.

German Chocolate Cake with the traditional coconut and pecan frosting.

Bon Voyage Luggage Cake

For a going away party. Chocolate cake with vanilla butter cream frosting. Covered with standard fondant and hand drawn embellishments using food coloring markers.

Ruffled Rosette Wedding Cake

Classic Almond Cake with Amaretto Butter Cream. Classic white fondant with sparkly black ribbon, and white disco dust for sparkle.

I love cakes that come from "just make me something pretty", which is what you see here. Just a note to all the brides out there: Show your cake maker a bunch of pictures of stuff you like and tell him/her to have at it. I promise you'll end up with something more unique than you anticipated!

Strawberry White Chocolate Fudge Hearts

I think the name says it all.

Ruffle Cake

This was my birthday cake, which I always make for myself. I didn't have enough fondant to make as many ruffles as I wanted, but I really wanted to try out the technique.

Lemon cake with key lime frosting.
