Survivor Butterfly Cake


The first of four cakes this week is for someone who has survived cancer and was celebrating her birthday!! She wanted a cake with a cancer ribbon incorporated in it! So the ribbon became the center of the butterfly. The entire cake is buttercream. I drew the butterfly on wax paper using colored buttercream. Then I froze the buttercream and flipped it on the cake. The image came out perfect on the cake!! I thought it was artistic and touching to make a cake that has do much meaning!! I lived it!!!
This cake was a vanilla pound cake with raspberry white chocolate filling! One of my personal favorite combinations!!!

You only Celebrate a 40 Year Anniversary Once!

Well, first of all the flowers are my take on a peony! I kind of came up with the style on my own using heart cutters that have ridges around them. I layered them over each other until I had a look I was happy with. These flowers used up a lot of Fondant, not to mention all the little pearls around the cake. But I thought it looked very modern and the flowers reflected my style of decorating. So I was happy with that.
It was actually an anniversary cake for my parents 40 years of marriage. It was a small gathering but even in small gathering the cake should be a standout piece! :)
The bottom was Tres leches with strawberries and glaze and the top was devil's food with whipped chocolate ganache.

Fall Carnival....making 5 cakes not a "Cake Walk"! :)


I promised my son that I would make 5 cakes for his school's Fall Carnival. Basically they have a game called a "Cake Walk" it's kind of like musical chairs. You walk around a circle with the alphabet written on it, when the music stops you stop on a letter. They then pick a letter out of a tin can, whoever is standing on that letter wins a cake!! The more cakes donated the longer the game lasts. Plus the class that takes the most cakes wins a prize! Well I was the only one in my son's class to take any cakes:( Needless to say his class didn't win. I played to try to win one of my cakes, but I one store bought cupcakes instead! What a rip!! hahaha It's okay though, next year I'm making them smaller...like mini buntcakes!
I love the finger's sticking out of the cake, also the ghost's they came out really cute and spooky! Everyone at school loved them!
I made 3 different cake flavors
Red Velvet with cream cheese
Banana with coconut cream cheese
Vanilla pound cake with lemon filling
I have no clue who won my cakes because I was there for almost three hours and they still hadn't handed them out!! I was hoping to take a picture with the person who won my cake! Maybe next time!

Hello Kitty get's a manicure:)


How fabulous is this cake for a little girls birthday party!? I think it was perfect since my friend told me she was going to have a few 1o year old girls get together and give them manicures and facials! Her daughter loves Hello Kitty and she wanted her to have her nails painted. That was a challlenge since Hello Kitty has no nails:) I created some on her paws and painted them! OMG how fun! I made her a pink dress and a little black jacket on top. I added some white in the cake so it wasn't so dark. This was my first time making ribbon roses and I really like them. They look young and girly! I also got to make lipstick, a compact, nail polish, blush and brush out of fondant! Since I wear make up all the time that was a cinch! LOL I really thought it came out young yet sophisticated.
The bottom tier was a marble cake with bavarian cream and the top is strawberry cake with fresh strawberries and glaze!
