Congratulations Graduates!!!

During the 2009 school year I've been working as an After School Program Supervisor at a local Private Christian School. Tomorrow the 6th grade graduates and after the ceremony, there will be a celebration for the class, their families, and the staff. I wanted to do something special for them as many of them know I am a cake nut and have been begging me all year to make them a special treat.

This is a double chocolate cake with buttercream icing. The graduate is hand sculpted from sugar clay. The little graduation caps are also edible sugar clay.



Congratulations 6th Grade!!!!!

Sweet Baby Girl...

Okay, here's the baby girl. Isn't she just precious! I think I know 4 or 5 pregnant people right now and every one of them is having a boy. Don't know when I'll ever get to use her, but I do love how she turned out.

Both of these little ones, are made using a silicone mold from First Impressions Molds. They have incredible products and the investment was worth every penny. All the extra details are hand painted or added. The mold only does the naked little baby. But the possibilities are endless.

Don't you just love her little diaper!?!

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.
