Baby Boy Shower

I made a cake for a shower last weekend that is very similar to the pink and brown shower cake from a few weeks ago. This is a 2 tiered (8" and 6") 2-layer square cake, iced in buttercream with marshmallow fondant accents and bow.

Brown and Blue Square - $48 (serves 25-30)

Box of Chocolates

As an alternative to the traditional Valentine's Day chocolates, this cake looks like a heart-shaped box of chocolates. The "box" is a strawberry cake with buttercream frosting and a fondant sides. The "lid" is covered in fondant with a fondant bow. Box of Chocolates - $35 (serves 20-25)

Baby Girl Shower

This weekend I did a cake for a baby shower. I loved the pink and brown color scheme the hostess chose! This may be my favorite cake so far. It is a 2-tiered cake with a 10 inch 2-layer chocolate bottom tier and a 6 inch 2-layer white top tier. The cake is iced in buttercream with marshmallow fondant dots and stripes. The bow is also made of marshmallow fondant. 2-Tiered Pink & Brown Shower Cake - $60 as shown (serves 35-40)

New Year's Eve Cake

This is a cake I did for my friend for a New Year's Eve party. This was the first time I had tried a "topsy-turvy" cake as they're called, so it was a lot of fun!

New Year's Cake - $32 (serves 15-20)

Mini Anniversary Cake

I made this cake for my parents' anniversary last week. I wanted it to look like a mini wedding cake using their wedding colors from 33 years ago. This is a 4" on top of a 6", both one-layer cakes. It only serves 8-10, so there wasn't much left after we cut into it! Mini-cake - $18 (serves 8-10)

A few more presents...

Presents, Presents, and more Presents!

Last week, Jenny and I had lots of orders for Christmas present cakes! It was busy, but we had a lot of fun working on these. Here are just a few of the ones we did together. These were all iced in buttercream with marshmallow fondant accents. The bows and ribbons were also made from fondant.

More Christmas Goodies!

Yesterday I made 2 cakes and some holiday brownies that were ordered for a teacher's Christmas luncheon. I was able to try out an idea I had seen for a "cup of hot cocoa" cake.

Cup of hot cocoa (6" round, 2-layer)- $25 (serves 8-10)

The hot cocoa cake is completely covered in marshmallow fondant with fondant snowmen, chocolate buttercream cocoa, and a marshmallow border.

Christmas gift (8 "square, 2-layer ) - $28 (serves16-20)

This is a chocolate cake iced in buttercream with fondant dots, bow, and tag.

Frosted brownies with holly and berries - $12/dozen

Snowglobe

Here is the snowglobe cake I made for our Christmas Cookie Party last night. It's not much different from the practice cake, but here it is. The whole cake is covered in marshmallow fondant. The borders, trees, and snowmen are also made of marshmallow fondant.

Snowglobe Cake - $38 (serves 15-20)

Snowglobe "practice" cake

A while back, I saw an idea for a snowglobe cake. Of course, I had to try it! I'm planning to make a cake next week for a Christmas party, so I thought I would try the snowglobe and see if it would work. This practice cake isn't totally complete, but you get the idea! I didn't get to finish decorating the bottom cake, but I'm planning to write "Let it snow!" and add some snowflakes. This is a ball cake, covered in marshmallow fondant, sitting on a 6 inch round cake. All the decorations are also fondant. This cake serves 15-18, so it would be perfect for a small Christmas party or get-together. I'll post the finished snowglobe cake I make for the party on Tuesday.
