Vintage Wedding Cake

Sometimes the simplest wedding cakes are the most beautiful!

This bride wanted a vanilla cake with raspberry and cream cheese filling with vanilla buttercream. She didn't want the cake smooth or covered in fondant, but lightly textured. The flowers were the perfect touch to this cake. Thanks B & M for asking me to do your cake. Your wedding was beautiful!

Treehouse Cake

Coolest cake stand ever made! Isaac Merrill made this awesome stand for his brothers wedding. They used it for the main reception in another state as the groom's cake stand. Here for their open house it was the main attraction! The cake is chocolate with chocolate buttercream bark frosting. The leaves are vanilla buttercream. The trapped door is chocolate clay. The ladders, swing and stand are all made of wood. There was another attachment for the top of the tree house but they did not put it on until after they picked it up. I need a picture of it! It almost didin't fit in the car the way it was though :)

Toy Story, Woody cupcakes

I was trying to make my little boy an over-the-top Toy Story cake, he wasn't having it!

We saw some cowboy hat cupcakes online and he decided that's what he wanted, nothing else :)

These are vanilla cupcakes with vanilla buttercream. The hats are made of chocolate/butterscotch chip clay. They were delicicous, a little like a tootsie roll but softer.

Elsa Cake

For my daughter. She was insistent on an Elsa cake for her Frozen party. I did not have an Elsa doll (if you find one, buy it, they are hard to find right now!) so I used a blonde barbie that just happened to have purple eyeshadow. She specifically said NO FONDANT! So, I used only buttercream. I was able to make the sleeves by forming COLD frosting on the body and when it got soft I put it back in the fridge for a bit until I got it how I wanted it. I used silver shimmer poweder for the snowflakes on her skirt.

Olaf Cake

"Do you wanna build a snowmaaaaaan?"

This is Olaf, and he likes warm hugs :)

This cake was for one of my daughters bestfriends. She wanted a Frozen party with an Olaf cake.

His body, feet (jumbo cupcakes), and cupcakes (stacked) are made of funfetti cake.

His head and nose are sculpted out rice krispie treats and covered in fondant. His hands and hair are bamboo skewers covered in chocolate. The blue is detailed with airbrushing.
