A Fall Wedding




This bride's idea for a fall wedding cake was fantastic. Fall leaves, pumpkins, acorns and twigs added some great color to a basic white cake. The cakes are as follows: Base - Butter Pecan with a vanilla buttercream filling. Middle - Pumpkin Spice with a maple cream cheese filling. Top - Red Velvet with a cream cheese filling. Another cake that goes on my "fun to make" list. All decorations, including the twigs, were a fondant/gumpaste mix.

Another Barbie Cake

For a lady's 3 year old grand-daughter, another Barbie lover. She told me her uncle was also giving her a remote control barbie car. I'm guessing she had a great birthday. The cake is french vanilla with a strawberry cream cheese and fresh strawberry filling.

Violin Cake


This cake was for my father-in-law's 71st birthday. What makes it extra special is that he is fighting lung cancer. He has played the violin since he was a boy. He loved the cake but more importantly, he loved having the entire family with him in the hospital to share it with him.
