Turtle Hatchlings


Turtle cupcakes by request for a birthday party on the river!

Vanilla cupcakes, cream cheese water & turtles, modelling chocolate shells, and chocolate fish!



I love the sparkles on the fish, I think they were my favorite part!

Ahoy Matey!

A pirate party on the river? Yes please!

The party was for a 4 year old, so these are 'kiddie' pirates.
Modelling chocolate bandanas, and cream cheese icing faces/eye patches.

There were treasure maps as well, but I didn't get any pictures of those.
"Arrrr" til next time!

Bachelor Party Cake

Cake isn't the first thing that springs to mind when most people think "bachelor party"...
But for me, it seemed like a logical step
This cake was made as a challenge for myself, to then be sent to my fiance's bachelor party

Two sheetcakes and one globe cake make up this torso

This was a fun chance to try out Cornelli lace!
The bachelor himself added the belly button,
I wanted him to be able to say he helped!

This cake was a little top heavy, making it interesting to transport.
But it survived to make it to the party and they guys loved it!

Look Out!

...Here comes SpiderMan!

Received an order for SpiderMan cupcakes!

Specifications Given: Spiderman, cream cheese icing, vanilla cake.

Well, we know it has to be red and blue!

Modelling chocolate spidey heads, hand formed and "webbed"
with Royal Icing eyes.

Spiderman Logo makes an appearance...

In this picture I think they look like ants at a picnic. lol.

22 Spiderman Cupcakes!

Computing....

Want a nerdy cake?
How about a motherboard cake?!

Green Velvet cake, green cream cheese icing.
Sugar wafer & Rolo components


I know the RAM slots...and the processor...as for the rest I'm lost.


Yum!


Simple Can Be Elegant


Got an order for a plain cheesecake for 2, but I had a new decorating technique I wanted to try out...

Called "brush embroidery," this style starts with a piped line of icing, then gets feathered out with a clean dry paint brush. Sugar pearls add a little pop.


Simple technique, beautiful results.
Looks good enough to eat!


That *&%$ Rabbit!

Gardeners understand how hard it is to get rid of bunnies, especially in a carrot patch!

Carrot Cake, Cream Cheese Icing


Starburst & Twizzler Carrots



Poor bunny, he's all tuckered out!


Empty carrot holes and crumbs all around.


Sweet sleepy bunny...and yummy yummy cake
