A Classic Wedding Cake

Well this was a first for me on more than one level. Anyone who has followed my blog may have noticed that I do not seem to get many requests for traditional wedding cakes. This assignment changed that. This cake was an old fashioned fruitcake (a first for me) and was decorated entirely in royal icing (another first). The bride and groom tell me this cake will be traveling with them to England (will the firsts never end). Therefore, this cake was an education for me in more ways than one.

Summer Birthday (X4)

Another big family birthday celebration. This cake had to do duty for four birthday celebrants this month. My daughter and I came up with the summer theme. Cake is carrot cake with cream cheese icing. That is why the fondant is not quite as smooth as usual. Cream cheese icing doesn't crust up as nice as buttercream.

Coors Lite Birthday Cake

So here is something different. My fist ever 3-D can cake. In this case, a Coors Lite beer can. The cake is alternating layers of chocolate and vanilla cake. Can is wrapped in fondant and the logo is hand-painted fondant.

100th Birthday Teapot Cake

My wife's grandma had a milestone most of us can only dream about, her 100th birthday. I was honored to make this teapot cake for the occasion. My only regret is that it didn't turn out better. The flower patterns are all hand painted, this is the first time I have done that.

Transformer Cake

One of my best customers, a multiple repeat client asked for a transformer cake for her son as well as some transformer themed cupcakes. This is what I came up with.
