The Blunt Wedding Cakes

 Not much explanation is needed for these cakes. They turned out perfect. The wedding was a rustic winery in Kansas City. We were able to find a nice size tree that had recent;y fallen and make some pretty perfect cake stands. This was my almond vanilla cake and again it was a huge hit! You cannot go wrong with this flavor!
 The beautiful bride and groom




Rose Birthday Cake

 The boys and I made this cake for Mimi's birthday. It uses a crazy amount of frosting, but it is hands down the easiest cake that I have ever made!  There are fresh strawberries between each layer of cake

ruffle cake


I made this cake for a YMCA fundraiser. It was an almond vanilla cake. So yummy! I hope it raised a lot of money!

Christmas Cake

 Here is an example of my Christmas cake. I like to make a chocolate vanilla swirl cake with candy cane frosting. It is delicious! I used some fun cake glitter on this to make it look more wintery.

Bob the Builder cake

 I made this Bob the Builder cake for my son's fourth birthday party. He absolutely LOVED it! It was the first cake that I made after returning to Kansas. I used Oreos for the dirt and crunch candy for the rocks. The hard hat is made out of rice crispy treats and fondant. This cake was definitely the focal point of the party.

Birthday Bow

I just made this for an 89th Birthday party. I love this bow. It takes some time, but it's so great looking!

Construction cake

I love this cake! I made it for a friend of mine and her son was thrilled! It was a fun and fairly simple cake. It was easy because I used whoppers as the boarder vs rolling fondant balls, which is a cheaper option. The dirt is made out of Oreos.The 'mudslide' was made out of chocolate frosting, Oreo, and whoppers.

Justice's High School Graduation Cake

I made this with a few of my younger nieces for one of the nieces that graduated high school. It was a fun cake ad matched the party decorations.

The Little Mermaid Cake

 This cake took a long time to make, but it was worth it! Special props to Audrey Tan for helping me! I made this for a little girl's birthday party. I decided to make the bottom for the cake look like a mermaid fin and the top to look like bubbles. I used a fun shimmer over the entire cake. We were thrilled with the outcome. I am very grateful for the figurines because I was not looking forward to trying my hand at making Ariel out of fondant,

The Owl Cake

 This is probably my all time favorite cake. I made this for a neighbor. It was a delicious lemon cake with lemon drizzle and lemon frosting. The owl was made out of rice krispies.

Rainbows and unicorns

My friend's daughter had a rainbows and unicorn birthday party, so I made a super fun and colorful cake. The inside of this cake is is tie-dye, just like the fondant. I was really nervous making the rainbow. Turns out using floral wire does the trick! The fondant clouds were a must have to support the rainbow. This cake was such a hit! the 4 year old girls thought it was the coolest thing in the world. . . so did their moms!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

This was not my best work, but everyone still enjoyed it. I made this for my friend's 30th birthday party. I wanted to make it look like Doni was coming out of the sewer.  The actual turtle was made out of rice krispy treats and the sewer lid is fondant wrapped cardboard. I'm hoping to have a reason to make this again, so I can redeem myself!

The Hungry Caterpillar Cake

 Hudson's first birthday party! We had a wonderful party at the park with tons and tons of cake. Everyone had a belly ache when they left. Lol!
 This was a joint party, so I made an individual cake for each of the kiddos turning one. The cupcakes were chocolate and vanilla. We had so much cake!!!

Car Cake

 Harrison turned two (two years ago)!!!! I'm pretty behind on the blog. His birthday was a a car theme and I made a cake to match the invitations and decor.  It was a vanilla cake. The top layer was dairy free, so everyone at the party could enjoy it!

Baby Booty Cake

I was so excited to make this cake!  I LOVE it!  I made for one of my husband's coworkers.  The bottom layer was strawberry cake with cream cheese frosting, the mommy-to-be's favorite!  The top layer was traditional vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream.

 I made the booty and the legs out of Rice Krispy treats.  It was easier than I thought it would be and I absolutely love the ruffly diaper.  All in all I was very pleased with the outcome!

Soccer Cupcake Cake

I made this for a local soccer team end of the year party.  It is a chocolate and vanilla cupcake cake.  The girls should love it!  The team's name is the Venom and I put their logo on the cake.  I think that I do a better job working with fondant, but this was good experience!

Harrison's 1st Birthday

Harrison turned one! I cannot believe it! Time really flies!  We had a few friends over to help celebrate and aired up a little bounce house in our living room. We grilled some burgers and I made some cupcakes and a simple little cake to celebrate.


Harrison was not thrilled about the cake or the hat, but he loved the balloons!

Mario cake

I made this cake for Luke's birthday (my friend's son).  He was absolutely thrilled and it was "the hit of the party!"  Brenda said that even the men were complimenting the cake.  That's when you know it's an awesome cake:) 

I made his feet, hat, and arms out of Rice Krispy treats.  I love the Cake Boss for making that acceptable in cake decorating! 
Luke's little brother is hoping that I will make a Luigi cake for his birthday. Haha!

Mediterranean themed birthday

My neighbor turned 40 this summer.  She loves orange chocolate and Mediterranean architecture, so I went with that exact theme.  I made a chocolate cake with an orange dark chocolate ganache filling and orange buttercream frosting.  It was very rich and very tasty! 

My favorite bow

I've been looking for an excuse to try making one of these bows for a while.  Breau's coworker bought a house, so I made him a house warming gift!

This bow takes a while because you have to let the ribbon loops dry before you put them on the cake.  I made the fondant about 10 days before I made the cake, so it would be good and dry.  I also gave the fondant a quilted look.  I think it looks pretty fancy!
