Anniversary cake/cupcakes

Made this candle cake which also included a tea light candle at the top and 250 rose cupcakes and I was so proud of myself!  My daughter Kelsey helped put the roses on and helped box them up.  I had so much fun making this!  I am very proud of all of this.  The bottom picture is of the cupcake tower I bought off ebay with the cake on top.  It all came together really well!

Christmas Gingerbread House

This is a gingerbread house I made at Christmas and entered into a local competition.  I didn't win anything but they haven't seen the last of me!  LOL  I loved putting everything together and everything is edible.  I tried using pink cotton candy as snow but in the morning it had melted so I had to pull it off and I used royal icing instead and I think it looks much better with the royal icing.  I'm going bigger next year!  Wish me luck!

Lady Bug Cupcakes

These are some ladybug cupcakes I made for a family gathering.  My daughter, Kelsey, helped me make the fondant ladybugs.  They were a big hit!

Sister's Birthday Cake

I did this cake for my sisters birthday.  I love making buttercream roses.

1st Birthday cake for my grandson

Jellyfish and greenery

The bottom half of the cake was chocolate with buttercream icing and the top half of the cake was vanilla with whipped cream and strawberries.

This is the completed cake.

This is the crab that my daughter, Kelsey, made.

Golf Cake

I did this cake for my sister's boss who owns a lawn care business.  It's a golf themed cake complete with a sugar sand bunker.

Spider Cake

I did this spider cake for my boss for his birthday.  I used a ladybug pan.  The eyes and teeth are fondant as well as the joints for his legs.  His legs are made out of pretzel rods.

Rose Cupcakes

Ribbon rose

Three ribbon roses

Regular rose with petals

I did some lemon cupcakes with lemon frosting and did a variety of frosting techniques and tried my hand at different candy clay roses.  Hope you like them!

Baby Tutu

I know this has absolutely nothing to do with cakes but I made this newborn tutu for my cousin's daughter's baby.  I had so much fun doing it!  I have a grandson so I don't get to buy any pink anymore.  I also got her a pair of pink ballerina slippers to go with it!

My first fondant cake

This is the very first fondant cake that I did after a Wilton class.  I had so much fun doing it and everyone loved it!  As you can see, there is a slice missing out of it.  My husband just couldn't wait!

1st Birthday

A giant cupcake was done along with purple and pink butterfly cupcakes for a little girl's first birthday party.

Elephant Cake

This cake was done for my daughter Kelsey's homecoming from the Air Force.  She loves elephants and pink and black so I just knew this was going to be the cake for her.  She loved it!

More pics of the cupcake bouquets, the daisies and unfinished signs for the bouquets.

Cupcake Bouquets

My sister, Sheryl, and I recently helped our cousin by making cupcake bouquets for her daughter's baby shower.  We'd never done anything like this before and it was quite a learning experience.  I made all of the fondant/gum paste flowers and the signs and she made the cupcakes.  I really think the cupcake wrappers she used helped pull it all together.  We used candy sticks to put the cupcakes on the styrofoam and royal icing to stick on the flowers.  We also bought some cheap terra cotta pots and painted them white, pink, and a darker pink and used a 1/2 of a round styrofoam ball and then hot glued green taffeta around the ball to look like greenery.  I would probably use more taffeta but we were kinda pressed by time.  I think they turned out amazing and would definitely do it again.
