Minnie Mouse Cake
While this cake was so much fun, it was filled with challenges (which is frustrating for such a small cake). The family who asked for this cake was adorable and sweet and I felt terrible for the outcome. But all this cake proved to me was that mistakes will happen, especially when food is involved and being honest and upfront goes a long way. I learned a lot from this cake when it came to my mistakes but all in all, had a fun time putting together this sweet little 4 and 6 inch white cake.
Fall Wedding Cake
I was commissioned to do a Wedding Cake. This was going to be the biggest cake I have ever done and I was SO excited. I spent weeks preparing and prepping for this cake. I spent hours making my fondant and planning out this cake. Overall, the bride was thrilled with how the cake turned out. Here are some pictures of the assembly and finished product.
It was a white cake, with fondant and fresh flowers.

Country Carnival Cake
I was asked a few weeks ago about donating a cake to a school's Country Carnival for a raffle. I jumped on the chance to do this and get some of my information out there and for people to see some of my work. I sat for weeks on this idea, trying to figure out how to make a Halloween/Country cake... Well after much discussion, and many drawings later my loving husband and I concocted this colorful 2 tier chocolate and white buttercream cake. Mmmm.
Monster Trucks!
I had the privilege of constructing this fun Monster Truck themed cake for my nephews 3rd birthday, and the look on his face when he saw it was priceless! So adorable! No, I didn't make trucks for it (due to a time crunch and just returning from a 4 day vacation that morning) so we improvised. But he loved it all the same! Happy Birthday Dev!
He is just so darn adorable.

Crepe Cake
Today I made this OH SO YUMMY crepe cake. I have never done crepes before and I was asked to make a french dessert for a church activity. I had no idea what to do so I set out to do some research. I came up with crepes, since they are an iconic french food. I then searched and searched and searched some more for what kind of crepes to make.That was when I thought well I can make a cake (since its kinda my thing). The best part, I found some great recipes for crepe cakes so I set out to do.
For starters I made the crepe batter the night before as recommended in the recipe, then I began the Pastry Creme the night before as well. Once I had those made I went to bed :)
The next morning, the real fun and work began. I took out my batter and waited for it to get to room temperature then placed it into this squeeze bottle and warmed up my pans and got cooking.
It took me a few crepes to figure out a good system but once I did, I was moving! I used 2 pans, one to get them started by squeezing the batter into it, and then once it had cooked 2 minutes I would lift it out and flip it into the other pan to finish cooking while I started a new one.
Next, I started my layers, I start with a crepe, then spread my Pastry Creme over it then set out to making layers, and layers, and more layers.
Here is a picture of the crepe half way stacked, and then when I reached 20!
I had to add the photo of my little boy enjoying a crepe for the first time. Such a cutie pie!
Here it is, I stacked it, I put it in the refrigerator, and then I sprinkled powdered sugar on top, and drizzled some raspberry sauce. YUMMY!
