I have made a variety of birthday cakes. I take requests.
This birthday cake was for a 10-year-old little girl who likes pretty things. The flowers are fondant and the butterfly is gumpaste.
This is my sister's cake. She is a "Cow Girl". She has two horses and loves to ride them. The boot, hat and horses are all made out of fondant. I brushed some luster dust on the boot to make the flower area shiny so it would look more like leather.
Kora's Cake
This is my granddaughter Kora's cake. She loves fairies and fairy stories. I made the fairy and the monarch butterfly out of gumpaste and hand painted them. I added the glasses so she would look like Kora. She is the light of my life, but everyone who knows me is aware of that fact.
This is a cake for my son's girlfriend, Angela. He wanted me to make a cake copying one of her drawings. He made a few changes such as the color of her eyes and added a nose ring. All of the flowers were made out of white chocolate. The rest is butter cream and the vines are fondant.
This is a cake for a little boy named Devin. His grandfather played for the Milwaukee Brewers so that was the logo on the hat.
The first cake is a "My Little Pony Cake" for my granddaughter's birthday. The ponies are color flow. The cake is an 11 X 15 sheet cake.
These cakes are an example of cakes covered in fondant. They look like packages. Everything is edible and made with fondant. They are 10" square cakes (can be any size) and will feed approximately 30 people. The chocolate cake is covered in chocolate fondant.
This cake has Baby Einstein figures on it and they are made out of color flow. The blocks are individual cakes with fondant letters on them. Each character is attached to a sucker stick so they will stand up straight. The cake in the back with the caterpillar was an individual cake for the birthday boy. This cake was 14" square cake and would feed over 60 people, plus each block can be removed as individual cakes for the other kids.
These two birthday cakes are for bowlers. The first one is bowling pins and a bowling ball. My husband's initials are on the pins. The second one was for my brother-in-law. He has a purple ball and on the back of the shirt was the Chicago Cubs logo. The pins, the lane, the ball and the figure is fondant.
The cake below is for a "John Deere" collector. It is fondant and butter cream. I has the logo on the top and the logo and John Deere around the sides of the cake.
The next birthday cake was for my son's girlfriend Jessi. Her birthday is near Halloween which is also her favorite holiday. My granddaughter wrote her this story and drew her the picture. I made a book cake and covered it in fondant. I wrote the story on the cake and copied the picture using fondant. She loved the cake.
The Linden School system had a Nursery Rhyme Ball for pre-schoolers. I was asked to make a cake for it, and here is what I came up with. It is butter cream frosting, color flow.
Another cake for Linden Schools was "In Celebration of Your Imagination". It went along with a class project where the kids write stories. At the end of the project they had a celebration with a cake.
My husband is an artist and had some of his paintings published in a poetry book called "In Drought Time". The author/publisher of the poems had a picnic for all of the contributing artists and poets. I decided to make a cake that looked like the book lying on a table.
FLAMINGO CAKE
My sister-in-law called me to make a cake for a friend she works with. She said this friend's birthday was coming up and she was going to Las Vegas for the first time and staying at the Flamingo Hotel. She wanted something with flamingos on it. I started thinking of the floor shows a the different hotels and thought of dancing flamingos. I put a two layer cake in the middle made out of gumpaste with a flamingo popping out of it. The cake is strawberry with strawberry filling. It is covered in strawberry flavored home made fondant. The flamingos are made out of color flow icing.
"Strawberry Shortcake"
This is a birthday cake for a sweet little girl named Abby. The cake is frosted in butter cream frosting with white chocolate flowers.
ROSE
This cake is probably the most beautiful cake I have seen. It is made using the bottom part of a doll cake (the skirt). The petals are made of white chocolate and wrapped around the cake. It would probably serve 12 to 15 people. After the petals are wrapped around the cake they are dusted with color. The rose can also be made in any color by mixing the color in with the white chocolate. To give you an idea of the actual size of this cake the foil covered board it was sitting on is 14".
