Catfish Birthday Cake

I made this for a little boy's birthday party as well. He loves to fish and his favorite fish is a catfish. They are pretty swampy looking, so I did my best to make an ugly fish look good! I was really happy with the results!

I airbrushed the brown on the top of the cake. I also airbrushed the fins, so that you could see the texture better. I made the mouth out of rice krispy treats, so that it was sturdy enough to stay open.

Deer Cake

I made this cake for a little boy's birthday party. He loves to hunt deer, so he got his own deer mount.

I tried to texture the antlers and all of the light hair that you see on a deer. This deer did not turn out looking as realistic as I had hoped. Practice makes perfect!

Wedding Cake!

I made my first wedding cake!!


I made this cake for my friend Candace's wedding. She had a chocolate a pool colored wedding. I made the flowers on the cake using gum paste. They are little pool colored gerbera daisies. This was my first time working with gum paste and I was amazed at how fast the flowers dried. This was also the first time that I have baked and stacked a large cake. It was quite an experience! I gave the cake a pearl sheen with my airbrush and I think it really dressed up the cake.

I felt like the cake boss delivering the cake. I was soooo worried that it would fall apart during the delivery. We had to drive about an hour on a rough road to deliver the cake. I am so glad that I bought an instructional video on stacking cakes. It was VERY helpful! The cake remained very sturdy throughout the drive.

The beautiful bride and groom loved the cake! Tuff is hiding a huge piece of fondant behind his back. There was a little cake war.

Kari & Ellie's Barnyard Baby Shower

My friend, Kari, is having a baby girl in September and naming her Ellie. I was asked to make the cake for her barnyard themed baby shower. This cake was the centerpiece on the table and everyone loved it! It was a lemon cake with lemon frosting (Kari's favorite).

I actually airbrushed the fondant this time. It was my first time using the airbrust that my husband bought for me! I was nervous, but the cake turned out great! I learn all kinds of new things with each cake. On this cake, I learned how to make grass with buttercream frosting and how to use my new airbrush. I had a lot of fun making this cake, as I do with every cake that I make!

I think my barnyard cake might be my husband's new favorite. He actually took close up pictures of each little farm animal because he thinks they are so great! I think I could use a little practice, but they aren't too shabby.

Happy 21st!

I made this cupcake cake in the shape of a beer glass for a 21st birthday party.

Hula Girl!

This cake was VERY fun to make! I made it for a luau themed birthday party. My husband says it's my best cake yet. . . He likes this cake because the coconut bra is removable. Underneath the coconuts, the cake is rated "R". I made the lady's chest out of cereal treats. This was my first time using cereal treats with a cake. I wanted to try it because I watch the cake boss use cereal treats quite often on his cakes. I think they worked very well!

KSU Wildcats!

I made this chocolate cake for a fellow wildcat fan. This was another buttercream cake without fondant. I was asked to decorate with candy, so I used purple skittles. I would like to make the powercat out of buttercream next time; I think it will look better.

Taste the Rainbow

This was my preparation for a tie dye cake. I made the tie dye inside match the colors of the skittles on the outside!


I very rarely make cakes with buttercream frosting and not fondant. It was fun for a change!

Cowgirl Up!

I made this cake for a high school graduation party. The girl is attending KSU next year!! This cake was really fun to make! It is the first special shaped cake that I have made. I usually just decorate circle and square cakes. It was fun to "step out of my box" this week!

Mission Valley Graduation

I made this cupcake cake for a Mission Valley High School Graduation party. I hope everyone enjoys it!

Congratulations Erin!

This is the cake I baked for Erin's bachelorette party. It was a red velvet cake with creamcheese frosting, Erin's favorite!

Mother's Day Celebration

In celebration of Mother's Day, my Mom, my Nana, and I took a road trip to Dallas. We went to a place called "Paining with a Twist," which was a wonderful experience! I baked a delicious cake for the event. Nana and my Mom loved it! I learned a good lesson on the long road trip; keep the cake in a cooler.

Tie Dye Cake

I saw a tie dye cake in the Rachel Ray magazine and decided I had to try it out. I think this is a really fun cake! It would be great for a little kid's birthday cake. I love how this cake can be serious on the outside and wild on the inside!

Lemon Cake

I made this cake to celebrate Judy's birthday. She loves citrus flavors, so this is a lemon cake topped with a lemon buttercream and fondant. It was "lick your lips delicious!"

Chocolate

Leah's favorite color is chocolate!

Brownie Cake

This is the brownie cake that I made for my neighbor, Allison. Allison LOVES brownies! This cake has a bit of an Asian design to it with the cherry blossoms.

Spring Tulips

I baked this cake in celebration of my Nana's birthday. These are her favorite colors. I was very pleased with my tulips, but I did learn that it takes over a week for marshmallow fondant to dry completely!

Holiday Cakes

I baked this cake in celebration of my friend's birthday at work. Her birthday is very close to Christmas. This was my first time laying fondant on a square cake, which is much more difficult than a circle cake. The edges of the square are a little tricky.

These cakes were absolutely delicious! The cakes were chocolate and vanilla marble topped with a peppermint buttercream and peppermint fondant. I received the ultimate compliment on this cake when my grandmother asked me for the recipe!

This is a picture of Kelly and me. Kelly is the sister that sent me to the fondant class, so over Christmas break I taught her the art of fondant. We were very proud of our results.

Purple Roses

I made this cake for my mother-in-law's birthday. Her favorite color is purple. . . Go State! This was my first attempt at making flowers.

Marti Gras Cake

Introduction to Fondant

Last fall my sister signed me up to attend a fondant class in Kansas City. It was an amazing birthday present! I baked my first fondant cake for my friend's wedding shower at work. It was quite a hit! Everyone was shocked that my fondant did not taste bad. . . They actually enjoyed the flavor!

Celebrating My Dad's 60th Birthday!

My sisters and I threw a surprise party for my Dad's 60th birthday back in July. The older my dad gets, the more he loves to fish. So, this is the cupcake cake that my sister and I made for him.

My First Cake

This is the first cupcake cake that I ever attepted to create. We threw a baby shower for a couple at work and I felt that the grocery store was over charging for cakes. So, I decided to make the cake myself and discovered my new creative outlet!
