Yes, there are cakes even for gamers! You name it, we've got it - almost!

Was a ton of fun to work on this cake! A lot of little details, made it all come together!

From stitching the "leather together" to stringing the laces, all on top of a carved chocolate and raspberry delight!

The blade

A special thank you to my brother (an auto body technician - so he has an incredible eye for detail) for sticking with me to finish this cake! Four hands make two hours a lot more productive!

Flying High

A fun alternative to just your regular birthday cake!
Why not spice it up a bit and do something special and unique for the special person you're celebrating!

Silver Lined Feathers

This is not how I first envisioned the design... sometimes it's just "falls" together - Especially when you don't have a sketch, picture, or specific detail in mind.

Was able to do this cake after everyone went to bed, my favorite time to work on cakes (even though it was 3:30a.m.)! No distractions, no one to accidentally bump you... just concentration! 

My favorite detail about this cake is the feathers! Love how they add that extra little special something you know! Also love these colors together - Purple, white, and silver - so elegant!
Hope my client likes this one as much as everyone else does...

Cake - Three tiers of vanilla with vanilla filling!

Hockey Time

Slab cake - congratulations Plattsville Rage

First time doing a butter cream applique - turned out alright, lots to learn!

Finally There...

Dairy free pumpkin spice cake with dairy free "buttercream" icing! Different techniques used...

Thanks brother for your help!

Life on the Edge

"Oh, Rach - Today's my boss's birthday can you make him a cake.. description to follow! If you get it done by noon can you bring it in?" Gotta love those dear brothers!

Another opportunity to practice carving a cake... nothing out of the ordinary to add to this post!

Whimsical

Another Topsy Turvy One
Each type of cake is totally different when carving and stacking! Learning lots... the bottom layer of this one is carrot cake (which is a bit of a softer, more moist cake) covered in cream cheese icing which doesn't set super well! I definitely like using the Australian method when working with Topsy Turvy Cakes - but not everyone wants to pay for cakes covered in chocolate:)
Middle layer is the chocolate with raspberry filling! Easy to work with... and the top is white with mocha -- it's the top layer, doesn't matter a whole ton -- as long as it's carve-able!
Fun to work on -- lots I would change for next time though!

P.S. - So thankful for my sister that stayed up past midnight to help me finish this one!

Cup of Tea

I've been wanting to do a tea-pot for a long time, finally able to do it! However not exactly the design I was hoping for.
Sometimes in this type of world people change their minds, last minute! It was originally due Saturday, however I got a phone call Wednesday saying "I need it for tomorrow"... details I know... This weekend was already busy, to make a long story short I got home around 10 p.m. and had the evening to work on it! It's good to be in hot water at times I suppose (excuse the super crazy pun!). 

The design reminds me of the Delft China, not a bad thing! 

Capture That

Another "practice" cake... red velvet all captured in black!

Handy Mans Tool Box

Jonathan found this design he wanted for dad`s birthday cake

note: light bulbs and meter are made out of Crispy (R) treats. 

Dramatic Topsy Turvy

I've been wanting to do a cake like this for a really long time, and finally MADE time this week! I was also excited to try the Australian Method - instead of using buttercream under the fondant you use chocolate ganache. It does put the cost up a bit, but it is SO much nicer to deal with!
