Last-Minute Gift

This 8'' round, strawberry cake, cream cheese frosting, fresh whipped cream and fresh strawberries was a delicious last-minute gift for a 12-year-old girl.

Happy 40th Anniversary Mom & Dad!

My mom and I were making plans to go to lunch and do Saturdayish things, when she mentioned in passing that today is her and my dad's anniversary. My immediate thought was "must produce instant cake!" So in 15 min. I threw together this little vanilla cake, vanilla buttercream and raspberry filled gem using ye olde wilton class 2 pans. In keeping with the wilton theme, I piped on some old school fleur de lises, reverse shells and horribly executed chocolate roses using too-soft icing. Happy 40th anniversary Mom & Dad!

Pink and White Polka Dots Bridal Shower

Delicious combo of strawberry cake, filled with fresh whipped cream and strawberries, with hot pink cream cheese frosting and white fondant polka dots. It's becoming clear that I need a fancier and/or schmancier camera!

Pet-themed Cake for Gabriela's 6th Birthday

The little girl asked for "lots of cats and dogs and flowers and horsies and make sure it says I'm six!"



Tape measure holding on cat's leg while it dries.







This is closer to the actual color than the other two pics, I just didn't use the flash on my camera for the others.








Other than the humidity causing a huge sag right in the front of the cake this morning, it turned out great! Also, the horse I tried to make looked a bit horrible, so he didn't get to go to the party.
