Sophisticated in Gold

A Rhubarb Crunch iced in vanilla buttercream and covered in ivory fondant - overlayed with a pressed floral design. Such a simple cake, but the look is what I was going for (pretty much)!

Always something to improve on, but slowly we're getting there!

These roses were all made petal, by petal, colored in eggplant and sprayed with a gold sheen to finish them off!

Some of my dear grandmothers favorite colors!

Mothers Day

"Owl Always Love You"

A fun way to show Mom on her day we love her!

A Carved and covered cake

Draped Fondant, Quilted pattern, and a Designed Cross

Behold Children are a heritage from the Lord

....and the fruit of the womb is His reward

Had a lot of fun with this cake
with the quilted look, the draped fondant, and the pressed cross...

I've been struggling to blog about the different cakes right away, 

so when I finally find time to do it I almost forget
what I was going to write!

This cake was totally worth every second spent on it - to see the look on the little girls face when she came to pick it up! This is what I'm reminded of as I work on the cakes, that no matter how late it gets, how long I've been working on it already, just one more detail will totally make the cake!

Swirled Into a New Year

I remember when hand-painting on cakes first became big - never thought that I would get into it... however it`s one of those things, if you don`t jump on the bandwagon with both feet - you`re either going to drag behind everyone, or get left behind - both are good recipes for disaster if you are trying to succeed in anything. 

I have discovered so many different techniques and have grown to love spending the time, making sure each stroke is just how I like it, blending the colors, and making someone else`s day - just the way they envisioned it - I HOPE!

The Wild Side

Another late night cake! When will I learn? 

 The #monogram was made completely by hand with fondant & tylose - the more designing I do with these two, the more I find out I can do with them! The possibilities are endless

Had fun designing this cake
Happy Birthday Angie - glad I could have a part in your special day!
