Converse shoe cake

This cake was a request for a co-workers fiancé. He collects these shoes and she was sure he would love it. It is white butter cake with strawberry and cream filling. As always everything is hand carved and designed by yours truly. i had alot of fun with this one too.

Bee cake

This cake was requested by my sister in law, for her boss. It is a tres leches cake with strawberry and cream filling. The body is 3 layers and the head is 2. The cupcakes are chocolate by request. This was so much fun to make and i am really proud of how it came out. Everything is carved and designed by hand. Everything is edible except the antennaes and the wings which i made out of pipe cleaners and plastic wrap.

I posted about 20 of my cakes on cakesentral.com and this cake got the most views and "favorites" and comments. Thanks everyone for the support and praise. xoxoxo

Spongebob cake

This one took about 6 hours. I had alot of fun with this one and I learned a lesson with it too. You can't tell just looking at it, but shortly after i took the photos the cake started to lean and crack. The pineapple house is made out of 3 small cakes and i positioned it too close to the edge and it made it heavy. I freaked out needless to say and it was a looong trip to deliver it. I was going so slow people were pissed and honking lol. This one was for a friend of a friend (facebook again ;) and I felt so bad, but it didn't bother her at all. She loved it and her son loved it and thats really all that matters i guess. I'm truly my own worst critic and such a perfectionist it's ridiculous. Thats the artistry that I inherited from daddy shining through for sure :)

The cake is layer upon layer of chocolate cake with chocolate mousse fillilng. Non-dairy whip icing with hand mixed colors. The shells and sea life and shells are sugars that i purchased at the cake specialty store. The sand on the second layer is sugar in the raw and the pineapple i did by hand. Everything on the cake is edible except the leaves on and the chimney pipe on the side of the pineapple (pipe cleaner coated with icing). Hope this one was enjoyable folks!

LA Dodger cake. This one was for one of rick's softball team mates. Two layers of butter white cake with banana and strawberry filling.

As I type this I have cakes baking, it's late and I'm soooo tired. It's all for the cause I guess. I love doing them, but at the same time it's so much work. I have such a busy schedule between work, Isaiah's baseball practices and games, Sophia's softball practices and games, girlscouts and the two little ones plus the cakes! I basically have three fulltime jobs. Being me gets a little tiring at times, but when it comes down to it, I wouldn't change it for the world :)

Lego City cake

So, it's been a few weeks and i still don't have any followers :(. But hey, no biggie. I'll just keep doing what I do, world renowned or not lol. At any rate, this is a lego city cake that i did for my childrens former kindergarten teacher. We've somewhat kept in touch and are facebook friends. I was delighted that she thought of me and brought me some business. The little boy absolutely loved it, so did his family and the rest of the class. Thats the best part for me.

It is marble cake with non dairy whipped icing with the colors mixed by hand. This one took about 5 hours not including baking time. I've got 2 more orders in for this weekend....stay tuned

Ni Hao Kai Lan cake

I whipped this up early this morning (literally lol). It is for the daughter of a social worker that i work with. It is non-dairy whipped topping with all the colors mixed by hand. The larger and smaller white butter cakes that make up each tier are filled with cream and fresh strawberries. Being the food nerd that I am, I was really looking forward to making this one. As with all my cakes, I get the idea in my head of exactly what I want the cake to look like and bring it to life. There are times when i draw total blanks, in which case i resort to googling different cake ideas and then compiling rather than copying . All of my cakes are o-ri-gi-nals ;) I hope you all enjoy this one!

So...I guess I'm a blogger?

It's just past midnight and I've decided to start "blogging". I didn't exactly want to pay to create a website, so i figured why not start a blog? That way i can share my cakes with the rest of the world and maybe some other goings on in my life while i'm at it. It'll be nice to see how many followers i'll get. This isn't much for a first blog, but it's a start. Stay tuned....
