Thomas The Tank Engine 3D Carved Train Cake


Made this for my friend's son. Chocolate and Vanilla cake with buttercream filling. Covered with home made marshmallow fondant and a LOAD of detail work. Took about 12 hours including baking, icing, fondant, carving, and decorating... Decorating alone took about 8 or 9. Thank you to my wonderful husband, Matt for cutting the cake board and doing an awesome job carving so I'd have a Fantastic canvas to work with.



Happy Birthday Charlie! Tell mommy thank you for sharing this picture of you with your cake!

Monster Jam Birthday Cake




My son absolutely loves Monster Trucks. His favorite is Blue Thunder and for his Birthday, he asked for a monster truck cake. His cousin TJ is celebrating his Birthday in February also (the boys are 6 days apart), so this is for both of them.

It was most definitely a challenge. Matt was an indispensable part of this project. He put his carpentry skills to work and built an incredible frame for me to work with. He also helped carve the shape of the truck. He wanted to have a hand in our son's cake and he did a fantastic job!!! I love you baby!

Happy Birthday Garrick & TJ!!!

For the Outdoorsman...





This cake was made for the father-in-law of a good friend of mine. He's a hunter, fisherman, camper... etc. So we went with an outdoorsman theme. (Is that a word?)

Anyway... I'm thrilled with the result. There's a TON of detail in this cake and you really could stare at it for a while. Of course to me... that's what's so cool!

Hope you like it!

Mom's 60th Birthday Cake




This is my favorite cake to date. It took forever but was a blast and turned out really well. It's a chocolate cake with mint chocolate chip filling. Iced in butter cream with fondant accents. Figures and accent details are all made of fondant and gum paste. There are a few support pieces that are not edible. Mom loved it!

Pre-School Teacher Thank You





I made this cake for the kids end of year picnic at pre-school. It's a Thank You for the teachers. Garrick especially came out of his shell this year and has become a social butterfly. Pre-School was huge for him! I can't believe he will be in kindergarten in the fall. Anyway, this is my very first stacked cake and the first cake to see sculpted 3D figures.

This cake is dark chocolate fudge on the bottom with mint chocolate chip butter cream between the layers. The top cake is vanilla with chocolate between the layers. The cake is iced in butter cream and covered with home made fondant (which tastes better than the Wilton fondant I had been getting at the store). Everything you see is edible except the wires holding the stars in the top of the cake. The picture on the top of the cake is the schools logo.

Spring Garden



This was a gift for my mother's friend. Everything you see is edible and hand crafted. This cake also got rave reviews for the chocolate fudge cake with Peppermint Fudge filling.
