"The Great Pumpkin" Cake!!

I really, really loved doing this cake. I donated it for the MCG Beeper Bake Sale.

The cake is devil's food with vanilla buttercream. The cake was airbrushed on the sides, handpainted on the top. Fondant figurines & pumpkins and royal icing stars.

Watching the video with the kindergarteners at my school really helped for the inspiration :)

Optimus Prime Cake

The idea had been to make a 3D Optimus Prime cake out of cake, but I don't think I'm ready to do that successsfully. I opted for a 10 in. candy clay figurine on a gravel cake base.

I didn't know too much about this guy before I started this cake. Now we are good friends :P

A big thanks to my mom for salvaging these pics with her super photoshop skills!

Sneak Peek!

This is a sneak peek at a cake I'm doing this week for a charity fundraiser at MCG. The Great Pumpkin, fun!

Jack-O-Lantern Gingerbread Cookies

Yay! What fun! I finally got to do some more cookie decorating. There are more than 60 of these guys and it took up my whole Sunday, phew!

(clockwise starting at the top) scary, mad, scared, happy

Decorated cookies are a great party favor for any occasion. Keep me in mind next time you celebrate!

Baby Bathtub Cake

This is the second time I've done this design. I was a little fearful trying to recopy a design, sometimes that can be more difficult than coming up with something new.

Yellow cake with vanilla frosting and marshmallow fondant. Fondant figurine, ducks, bubbles and tile floor.

Fondant duck cupcakes that also went with the cake.

Flower Overlay Cake

Mother's 60th birthday

The daughter wanted bright colors with the wavy overlay design. The overlay was airbrushed and the bottom was handpainted. The flower was several large fondant/gum tex circles ruffled on the edges like a carnation and then a royal icing button in the middle.

I used pearl dust to paint the fondant flowers and royal icing dots. The cake was yellow cake with vanilla buttercream and marshmallow fondant.
