Toopy and Binoo Birthday


So here's another case of a request for a character cake where I knew nothing of the characters being asked for. I guess not having toddler age children means I'm a little out of the loop these days. Toopy and Binoo, ever heard of them? I hadn't but thanks to photos and the internet educating myself doesn't take too long.

Dairy Farmer's Wedding




Keeping with the tradition of me always getting non-traditional wedding cakes, here is a wedding where I was asked to do a cow bride and groom sitting on top of a tractor tire for the wedding cake, and fondant cow faces on cupcakes. Needless to say, the bride and groom are dairy farmers.This was such a blast to do. I was even asked by a wedding guest where I found the cow bride and groom cake toppers. I was able to proudly say I made them. My apologies about the blurry quality of some of the photos. As photographers go .... I'm a good cake decorator, lol.

A Halloween Birthday

This one was fun. For a first birthday in October so why not a Halloween theme? Bottom cake is lemon, with a lemon meringue pudding filling. The top cake is red velvet.

Mother-In_Law's Birthday

 My mother-in-law had a milestone birthday, her seventieth. A milestone like that deserves a great cake. I'm really proud of this one. It was nearly perfect.

A Cake for my Niece


This was a red velvet cake for my niece who turned 23. She left the design totally up to me. To be honest I prefer it when people tell me exactly what they want. When it's left up to me there are way too many ideas to choose from.
