Target Cake

I was asked by a co-worker to make this cake for her dad's 50th birthday. He is into archery, so we designed the cake around that theme. It was made of chocolate cake and buttercream icing. The arrows were created with fondant around candy sticks. I was told that everyone enjoyed the cake and left with black lips. I warned you!

Superman's Cake

Dave is a big fan of Superman, so he decided for his groom's cake he wanted a building that his Superman could land on. This is what we came up with. It was made of vanilla cake that was dyed red, blue and yellow (Superman's colors) and topped with buttercream icing.

Valentine Cupcakes

These yummy cupcakes were done for my son's class for Valentine's Day. Yes, I know it is September, but as I included in the "About Me" section of this blog, I am a horrible blogger.

So anyway, these delicious mini-cupcakes were made of vanilla cake and buttercream icing. I topped them off with fondant hearts. This was my first attempt with anything fondant. I was just experimenting, but the kids loved them!

SchmoJo's Cake

This cake was made for a bridal
shower for my sweet friend
Joann. Her colors were orange
and fuscia. At first I thought,
"Wow, really?" Then I realized
how much fun I could have with this.
The colorful design really
popped against the brown
background. Instead of words,
I just added the bride and groom's
monogram to the cake design.

MOE Cake

I am so proud of this cake. It was my very first wedding cake. It was for a very sweet couple, Morgan & Elisabeth. The bride did not want a traditional wedding cake, so this is what we came up with. The colors were chosen to match the bride's maids' dresses which were brown and the accent color of green. The monogram does spell "MOE", but the couple found this amusing. The cake itself was made of French Vanilla cake, cream cheese icing, and chocolate fudge was used for the detail work. And it was yummy!

Sailboat Cake

This was a baby shower cake for my friend Kara. This was a fun cake to create. I knew how I wanted to do the top of the cake, but came up with the design on the side as I was going. It turned out very playful. 

Baby Blocks Cake

This baby blocks cake was for a baby shower. The couple was expecting a boy whose initials would be "DLH", thus the letters on the blocks. Each block was a different flavor - yellow, chocolate, and red velvet. Buttercream icing was used for this cake. 

Tree Cake

This cake was for a friend's wedding shower. I wasn't planning on doing a cake, but plans changed at the last minute so this is what I created. It turned out to be a big hit.

Birthday Cake & Groom's Cake

Okay, so I know that "birthday" is misspelled, but the cake turned out so cute. It was a white cake with cream cheese icing. The birthday girl enjoyed it, misspelling and all.

I am really proud of this cake. 

This groom's cake was a 

chocolate cake with buttercream icing. The bride provided a picture of a similar cake done in fondant. Since I do not work with fondant, I had to figure out how to make icing work.

Frog Cake

This cake was made to celebrate Misty's graduation from Florida State University. She is a frog fanatic, so the frog on the cake was modeled after her favorite stuffed animal. It was made of red velvet cake and buttercream icing. 

Superman Cake

This Superman cake was for Misty's 26th birthday. She is in love with Superman. This two-layer butter cake was decorated with buttercream icing.

Winnie the Pooh

My sister & I made this cake for my nephew's 2nd birthday. It was a yellow cake with buttercream icing. Pooh was drawn freehand onto the cake and then decorated.

Bob the Builder

This Bob the Builder cake was a double-layer butter cake with buttercream icing that I made for my son's 2nd birthday. It required nine different colors of icing. I drew the design freehand. This cake took forever to finish!

Phone & Gun Dealer Cake

This cake was made for a section at the FDLE that handles calls from gun dealers. It was made of chocolate cake and yellow cake with buttercream icing. The phone and the gun dealer building were made entirely of cake and icing.

Clifford the Big Red Dog

At the time, my son was not hooked on any particular character, but his favorite color was red. So for his first birthday, my sister and I made this Clifford cake. This cake was made with one chocolate and one yellow sheet cake placed side by side. The shape was cut out freehand. Buttercream icing was used to decorate.

Daisy Cake

This cake was made for Baby Sarah's baby shower. This was a (thick) single-layered cake with cream cheese icing. Welcome, Sarah!

Lingerie Cake

This two-layered chocolate cake with buttercream icing was for a lingerie shower. The bride's colors were blue & brown. She liked it so much that she asked me to make the groom's cake. (See "Groom's Cake" post)

Spiderman Cake & Cookies

This Spiderman cake was a two-layered French vanilla cake with buttercream icing. When Layton saw it for the first time, his reaction was, "Whoa, Mom! My cake is cool!" Enough said.

The Spiderman cookies were for his class at school. They were sugar cookies with buttercream icing. They were a big hit!
