Set, Spike, Score

Kind of an inside story to this cake...
Kind of a joke behind this cake...
Kind of a yummy thing inside this cake...

A chocolate mocha volleyball - covered in fondant and stitched with love!
Set, Spike, Score - May the Best Team Win!!! 

Arbonne Inspired

A friend of mine is an Arbonne Consultant (well on her way to district Manager!!) and asked if I would make up a party tray for her spa party she was having!
The chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese icing - had the Arbonne symbol stuck in them 
(handmade with chocolate)
The rest - Strawberry Drops with Chocolate drizzled on top and Yum-Yum squares - a caramel inspired coconut square!
Had fun piping the chocolate...

A Camouflaged Cake

Love the look of this cake... was fun to pipe as well!

It's hard in this 35+ degree weather to work with buttercream, but didn't seem to effect it too much!
Writing still hasn't sold me, but with practice it's coming

HC in Chocolate

Mark and I worked on this cake together and like usual did not leave enough time to do it really the way I wanted to do it... however so special to work on it together! Thankful for those moments!

Cake Pops - a newer adventure

Cake pops are a new adventure to me - haven't made too many or had the desire to!
Was asked for an order and thoroughly enjoyed doing them!
Can't really see them in this picture, but will upload more when I get them!

Purple Ombre Rose Swirl


So excited to do this cake - was a new technique, but that's one thing I love trying - new techniques!
Bottom tier: a peanut butter lovers dream come true - chocolate cake filled with a smooth Reese Peanut Butter Cup! Top tier: Vanilla cake with a sweet strawberry filling
and yes, covered a purple ombre rose swirl buttercream (mouthfull:))

The little blossoms were made out of fondant and added a fun look to it - which totally reflected the personality of the dear lady receiving it! Really matched her personality! Something I really enjoy about cake decorating - finding out what my customers like yes, but their personality more - that's when you can really design a cake that is PERSONAL!

Pink, Orange, Gold

This is my favorite way of decorating cakes - totally fake cake!
No I do enjoy baking off a yummy cake and filling it will your favorite filling then designing it like you envisioned!
Wish you could see the top flower better - First peony - edged it in gold and all the ruffles as well are edged in gold pearl dust! 
Ruffles - new favorite fondant technique!
