Luau Cake

This cake was made for a surprise 16th birthday party for a friend's daughter. They had a luau party for her. I had so much fun making this cake. It's a 1/2 sheet cake with 2 mini wonder mold (hula girls) cakes on top. I made the flowers out of royal icing and the sea shells out of candy melts and dusted them with pearl dust.

Wedding Cake

This wedding cake is made of 3 tiers. The top tier is a 6" spice cake filled with cream cheese filling. The 10" cake is a vanilla cake with lemon filling. The 14" cake is chocolate fudge with Bavarian cream filling.

Flower

Pink petals, yellow sprinkles and a white border all make this cake look so cute.

Barbie

Happy Birthday, Sierra. The Barbie cake is a chocolate cake and the cupcakes are vanilla. I really liked making the dress on the Barbie cake. It was so fun! Everything is made of buttercream frosting (except for the plastic rings on the cupcakes and the actual Barbie doll), and I added some edible glitter to make it sparkle.

Make a Splash

For Caleb's 5th birthday we are having a "water party" for him and his little friends. There will be lots of fun with the pool, slip 'n' slide, sprinklers and this fun water slide cake! He thought it was so awesome.

Dora the Explorer!

Chocolate Eclairs

Chocolate eclairs are one of Jon's favorite desserts. So, I decided to make some for him to take to a pot luck lunch at work. I'm sure they'll go fast. After I made the eclair shells I made some homemade cream filling (basically a cooked pudding), frosted them with chocolate frosting and added a special touch by putting a rosebud on each one.

Good News and Bad News...

The good news is...I won a first place ribbon with this cake at the Salt Lake County Fair.

The bad news is...so did everyone else (except the ONE entry who got 2nd place).

It was still a fun experience to enter a cake at the county fair. I know if I do it again my cake will have to be on a grander scale to win any of the "real prizes" (i.e. Sweepstakes, Best of Show, Judges Favorite, or High Blue). The cakes that were there were amazing.

Edible Images

My friend, Amber Halversen, and her family came from southern Arizona to Provo for BYU graduation. They stayed with us one night and it just happened to be her twin girls' birthday! I was happy I had the chance to make a cake for them. I used whipped cream frosting and edible images. It was my first time using edible images and I thought they worked great. Thanks for letting me be a part of Morgan and Annika's birthday!

Princess Leah's Castle

Princess Leah has a castle made of 4 cakes and 15 cups of icing! The upper floor (8") is chocolate, and the main floor (12") is strawberry. Her garden is full of light and dark purple flowers (over 300 of them!). And cake sparkles make the whole thing even more special! Happy 3rd birthday, Leah.
