Happy birthday Vinson!

If you love steak this much, you deserve to have your steak and eat it too...I mean cake. (OK, little boy had both...in one!) This turned out soo awesome! A nice t-bone steak, seasoned with "salt" and "pepper". (Good slab of fat along the side), with a side of "salted" green beans and mashed potatoes (made out of my cake bite "dough")and gravy. It almost looks good enough to eat! (And I'm sure it was!) The cake was a marble cake with bavarian cream filling.



Congrats Ryan!

The ever popular Utah University graduation cake! I love this mini version though, the "U" with the little grad cap...so cute! Cream cheese chocolate cake with raspberry filling.

Cake walk

I totally forgot we had a family reunion, and I was going to bring a couple cakes for the cake walk! So, the night before I quickly baked a cake, and whipped up some "adult" cupcakes (meaning, they were geared towards an adult palate! What were you thinking!?) The cake was french vanilla with raspberry filling, and the cupcakes were cream cheese chocolate filled with bavarian cream and frosted with marshmallow buttercream. I made the cupcakes "plain" and the cake bright so the darned kids would stay away from them! In the end, it didn't work...an 8 year old chose my cupcakes. Hope he enjoyed them!

Kennedy turned 2....too!

She loves piggies. And she's a girl. We went with pink and piggy themed! This was such an easy cute cake...all you amateurs out there, you can totally do this! (This was my daughter, and because I threw it all together the night before, I can't even tell you what flavors it was....I have a GREAT memory! I'm pretty sure it was a cream cheese chocolate with bavarian cream, and french vanilla with cream cheese/raspberry).

Tyler turned 2!

I LOOOOVE this cake! He turned out so adorable! I love the colors (nice choice Tiff), and I love how the texture on his fins turned out! Tyler had a water/under the sea theme. His cake was french vanilla with raspberry/bavarian cream filling. YUMMY!

Sandy

Kind of whimsical, and pretty for sure! We definately had a problem with the heat, though. Hopefully it didn't melt too much more after the pics were taken! Cream cheese chocolate with bavarian cream, and french vanilla with bavarian cream.

Brittany's bridal shower!

This is a REALLY bad pic, but I guess you take what you can get! I'm pretty sure this was carrot cake with cream cheese filling, and raspberry swirl with raspberry.

Mckesha

Messy buttercream with a fondant ribbon around the bottoms. Tiers made up of cream cheese chocolate, freanch vanilla, and confetti cake...all with buttercream filling.

Cassandra

Reapeat, and amazing client ordered this for her nephew and his bride! It turned out very elegant looking I thought. Bottom was cream cheese chocolate w/ chcolate ganache, middle was strawberry w/ marshmallow buttercream, and top was lemon w/ lemon filling.

BYU graduation!

It's about time I got a BYU cake! I only wish it turned out better, ha ha! Chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling.

Butterflies on cheesecake

I was asked to embelish a cheesecake (from Costco) with something in the girl's wedding colors for her bridal shower. Hope she likes butterflies!

Welcome baby, Cali! Congrats Athina!

You can't have too many versions of the baby bump! This was for a baby girl, obviously! (And it's been so long since I actually made the cake, I don't remember what the flavor was!)

Malina is 1! (And it's not me!)

I was so excited to make this cake....I mean, the girl is practically named after me! (Ok, not really, but we DO have the same name). It was a way cute cake too. French vanilla with whipped chocolate ganache, and cream cheese chocolate with rasperry.

Megan

This cake captured everthing that a summer wedding should be! Light and fun and flowery. The photographer was awesome also! His name is Aaron Despain and you should definately check him out!

Camri

The colors of this wedding were so fun and bright, and I think her cake resembles that too! So fun! It was buttercream, but it worked out ok. Both tiers were cream cheese chocolate with raspberry filling.

Joanne

I really had fun with this cake! I don't know why, I just like it alot! And I really like the ribbon she picked for the cake, I love the dimension. Her bottom tier was french vanilla with raspberry, middle tier carrot with cream cheese, and top tier of raspberry swirl with bavarian cream filling.

Cori

Another home run with buttercream! (Maybe I can do this!) Frosted "smoothe" with buttercream, but then I piped on the detailing so it didn't matter what it looked like underneath! Such an easy concept, and yet it is so pretty! Cream cheese chocolate with cream cheese filling, raspberry swirl with raspberry, and cream cheese chocolate with raspberry.

Sarah

Here is a buttercream cake I love....because it wasn't supposed to be smoothe! YAY! I loved having the tiers separated by the platforms and think it definately added something unique to the cake! The pin wheel flowers were made out of fondant and brushed with luster dust to make them a little sparkley. Bottom tier, cream cheese chocolate with bavarian cream filling, middle was raspberry swirl with raspberry filling, and top was cream cheese chocolate with bavarian cream too.

Bri's Birthday

Pirate's can be for girls too, and here is proof! The pics are grainy, but we did a "map" type tier with a bunch of symbols connected by dots leading to X marks the spot! I topped it off with a treasure chest full of booty for the birthday girl! Cream cheese chocolate cake with strawberry filling.




Anahi's Birthday

This was a circus themed birthday, but all for a girl turning 5, so what better colors than pink and purple! (And I love her name...so pretty!) The mom wanted a couple clowns and a couple circus animals to pull it all together and it turned out great! (Hopefully you can see the close-ups ok). The cake was red velvet with cream cheese filling, french vanilla with raspberry filling, and raspberry swirl with raspberry filling.




Camera Catastrophy

Well...my camera quit on me. Needless to say, the next few posts show that because they are mostly taken from my phone! Sorry I haven't posted in a while, but I was trying to wait as long as possible to collect pics from the brides, etc. once they got pictures back from their photographers. So if the quality is bad, you know why, and I'm sorry!

Sheri

The bride went with a smaller cake because it was a second wedding. She couldn't be a more deserving person, she was awesome! She found a cake with a brooch on it that she wanted, but in the end couldn't find a brooch that she liked! So I ended up creating this "mock brooch" to put on the fondant ribbon. The cake was red velvet with cream cheese filling, and cream cheese chocolate with chocolate ganche filling.

Saven's Birthday

Saven had an underwater birthday, so I made the frosting kind of "wavy" looking and topped it with a shell with a pearl inside! Each tier had one layer of strawberry cake and one layer of french vanilla cake with strawberry filling.

Kaylee's birthday!

This might actually be one of my favorite cakes of all time! (I know, that's a little crazy...but I seriously loved how it turned out!) Kylee is in love with this really great artist named Kilsook (Kim Haller) and she was getting her favorite scetch for her birthday. So her family ordered this cake and had me re-create the girl from the picture to put on it. I am so proud with how she turned out! The picture/girl is the one behind the cake, and I definately think she was represented well. The cake was delicious too, cream cheese chocolate cake with chocolate ganache and raspberries for filling, covered in creamcheese frosting and fondant. (I also have become a huge fan of the artist, thanx to doing this cake!)


"who ya gonna call?"....hopefully someone who can make a better Slimer cake!

I pretty much struggled with this cake! They liked it, I however, was very disappointed. It turned out ok, because her husband, Jon, made an AWESOME backdrop to put the cake on, and with all the characters you could actually tell what the cake was supposed to be in the end! Ha ha! It was a lemon cake with rasperry filling.

Jovonna

(This was one of the first cakes I did where I realized there was something wrong with my camera! Sorry, and I am working on getting a better pic). I love how she chose to put the ribbon right around the middle of the tier! Such a simple thing really pulled together the whole cake! She also had me make an extra top tier for them to save for their anniversary.
