Mine Craft


Mine Craft cake for my son's Birthday





My Very First Attempt at decorating cakes! Yikes!










                                   This one would have been cute except I didn't expect it to
                                         melt in the cake on the way to the Birthday party!

My first attempt at a topsy turvy cake



I got in a bit of a hurry and forgot the "H" in Birthday\
and no I did not forget the dolphin tale
it's my daughter's favorite movie
Dolphin Tale




Teal and Purple Zebra Cake and Cake pops!



Boat Birthday cake





Topsy Turvy sweet sixteen cake

Funny story with this one - well not really - lets just say lesson learned
do not forget the doll rods in the bottom layer of the cake
especially with two cakes on top and Florida humidity
scroll to the last two pictures to see that there is a slight difference
that was after the bottom layer totally crumbled and I went
over to the peoples house, pieced it back together and
covered it completely with fondant, then put the doll rods in!




Some miscellaneous cakes that I have done


Tres Leche cake with homemade whipped cream and fresh strawberries


Birthday Cakes for two of the doctors I worked for




Another Birthday cake and cake pops for one of the docs!



Chocolate Birthday Cake for my coworker


Chocolate Birthday cake and chocolate and vanilla cupcakes

was not my idea - apparently there was a story 
that went with it, and I didn't want to ask!

Peach and Mint Wedding Cake


Bottom Layer is the traditional vanilla cake 
with vanilla butter cream
and 
the top layer is German chocolate cake 
with traditional German chocolate cake icing with
chopped pecans and coconut


This was a bonus, always love when I have left over
cake and icing.
German Chocolate Cake!
I did finely chop the pecans and coconut so when I covered the wedding 
cake with the fondant it wasn't so lumpy.
