The end of Cakes

The heart cake above is the Valentine's Day cake I made for my husband and sons. It was a red velvet cake with cream cheese filling and it was soooo tasty!
I hand painted the Betty Boop above. I took this picture in my dark garage fridge, because I had to deliver it late at night. I ended up leaving early to San Diego to celebrate Valentine's Day. It was my husband's idea to spend the day. So here I am at 7 pm trying to photograph the cake with my iphone...lol

The halo cake was for my godson who is a huge fan of the Halo video games. He wanted it black with the Halo logo. My husband made the stencil for me! He is so amazing and fabulous. I think it turned out almost exactly like the original Halo logo. Everyone loved it and so did I!!

Cake-o-rama

The cake above is a cake I made for a woman who's birthday lands on Valentine's Day. Her sister asked me to make her a cake that looked like a box of chocolates.
This Hello Kitty cake was for my niecess 1st birthday. The bottom tier was a marble cake with chocolate ganache filling. My nieces was thrilled and all of the guests raved about the cake.
Ahhhh! The Bratz cake was for my niece as well. It was for my nieces 6th birthday and totally last minute. I hand painted and cut out the Bratz doll out of fondant. I used a coloring page that I googled. It came out so much better than I expected. This is my new favorite method of doing cartoon cakes! It was sooo cool! She looks so pretty and sparkly!
Ha! This is my birthday cake! My husband bought it at the grocery store for me and it was really cute. He always gets me Christmas themed cakes because my birthday is exactly one week before Christmas. It was very thoughtful of him:O

More Contempo Cakes

These little bears were made for a baby shower cake. I made them out of fondant.

I made this castle for my nieces 4th birthday. It was a princess themed party and she LOVED it!

This was a birthday cake for a huge I love lucy fan. It has an edible image made from rice paper.

This was a three tiered cake made for a surprise anniversary party. I was told to make it simple and elegant so this is how I interpreted the request, by making it white on white with royal blue and silver ribbon. It's buttercream frosting with fondant accents.

Banana Cake with Chocolate Butterecream

Wow! This was a big cake!! It was a 14" round cake with banana bread and banana pudding filling with chocolate butterecream. I made the roses out of fondant as well as the pearl border on the bottom. Oh and the base board was covered in fondant also! This cake was very, very moist!!! The banana bread was delicious, not sure if the chocolate buttercream complimented it, maybe a cream cheese buttercream is better for this cake, since it's almost like a carrot or spice cake. It turned out just how I wanted though. I got to use my diamond impression mat which I had been waiting to arrive for a couple of weeks now and it came in handy. I'm still trying to figure out how to keep it from overlapping though!
Anyway, I love to make cakes like these, they are a challenge for a novice decorator like myself. One thing I should mention is that I finished it with a circle border on the top and added another name to it at the end. It really made the cake pop! From what I hear everyone loved it and there were no leftovers...LOL!

Father's Day "Pokah Face Cake"

Boy was this cake a hit! I mean it was delicious and looked great! My mom made her specialty Tres Leches (Three Milk's) cake and I made the decorations out of fondant. They all had to be cut by hand. I cut out rectangle shapes with an exacto knife as well as the club, diamond, spade and heart because I didn't have any tiny cookie cutters that would fit it. The chips were just circle cut outs and I colored everything in with edible markers. Needless to say, we played a hand of Texas Hold 'Em after eating this cake! :_)

Gotta Catch Em All Cake!~

My oldest son is a HUGE Pokemon fan so I decided to make his cake a Pokemon "forrest" if you will:) I made the cake out of tres leches, wich is three milk's and boy was it sweet! I had fun making this cake, and the look on his face was priceless. He couldn't wait to cut it so he could play with his Pokemon figures:) I know that the writing came out sloppy, but I literally decorated this in less than five minutes! I was proud of myself for that:)

A Birthday Cake for My Sister

My mom was out of town for almost 6 months and I was the designated cake maker during that time. It seemed like it would be simple enough to make, but I was very busy and ended up making this the same day as the party! I made the flowers out of fondant and sadly I didn't have time to add the finishing details to the flowers on the bottom tiers of the cake. This cake was a chocolate cake from the recipe on the Hershey's Cocoa Powder container and it also had a bavarian cream filling and fluffy boiled icing from the Wilton Meringue Powder recipe. It's probably my favorite icing because it's very glossy and very easy to decorate with, plus it's not as sweet as buttercream! Anyway, everyone liked it I myself thought it needed more chocolate in the recipe, but it was still good.
