One-Year-Old Birthday

I made this for a little boy who was visiting his grandma for a few weeks around his first birthday.  This was a special celebration for the family.

Butterfly Birthday

 I made this delightful flock (flutter? swarm? rabble? lek?) of butterflies for a girl who was turning 10 years old.  It included 36 cupcakes and a 6" cake.  The butterflies were made out of chocolate and vanilla wafers.

Minnie Mouse Birthday

This was a cake for a little girl who was turning 3!

Black and White Wedding Cake

I made this cake for my brother's wedding.  He was marrying a South African beauty, so the theme of their wedding was black and white.  Both their first names and their last name begin with "P". The calla lilies are made from fondant.

Air Force Cake

I made this cake for an Air Force re-enlistment ceremony.  The bottom layer of cake was red velvet and the top layer was vanilla cake with blue coloring in it.  The results were quite a hit!

Rat Cake

This is strange sounding, I know, but this cake totally made sense in context.  We were bidding farewell to one manager and welcoming another to a program at work that primarily does research on lab rats.  Everyone attending the party also worked in the lab, so this made sense.  Everyone was delighted by it and the cake was quite a hit.  The rat is a stuffed animal and the shavings are crushed up ice cream cones.

Nautical Cupcakes

I made these cupcakes this weekend for a nautical-themed baby shower.  I made a cake to accompany it but did not get a picture of it.  The toppings are all made of home-made marshmallow fondant and were hand-painted.
