Make-up Mother's Day



This cake was ordered from a good customer of ours in celebration of Mother's Day at her church.

The "mirror" is a piece of foam board with fondant accents (luster dust to give it the mirror look).

The light bulbs are styrofoam balls covered in fondant fastened to the the board with t-pins.

The makeup pieces are all fondant. There are gold dragees in the makeup bowl and the eyeshadows are painted with lusters dusts as well.

The cake is marble and is covered in mmf (vanilla bc underneath).

Rodney totally took the lead on this cake. He made all of the makeup pieces, which came out beautifully. I did all of the creative painting and artistry but his natural talent for molding and modeling really shone through on this cake. We had four pretty big cakes this week and if it weren't for him and the great job he did, it would have never gotten done!

Really pleased with this one!

Jenny's graduation cake



This cake was made for a good friend of ours, Jenny, for her collegiate graduation from the University of North Texas!

Jenny studied to be a teacher so that was the theme of this cake!

This is a carrot cake with vanilla/cream cheese bc, and fondant accents. The only non-edible pieces on this cake are the graduation cap and the diploma. The UNT logo was made from white chocolate.

This was a really fun cake to make/ put together and the party was a lot of fun!

Congratulations Jenny!

Monster Truck Cake



This cake was made for a little boy turning 7 this year! I made this camo cake for him last year. He's into monster trucks now so a monster truck cake it is!

This cake is milk chocolate with chocolate buttercream (vanilla buttercream river and grass). The mountains are molded RK's and rocks are Bunch-A-Crunch. The truck is real.

The original concept of this cake didn't have the river through the middle - I decided to add that at the last minute. I hope they like it!

*I still need to add a "Happy Birthday" sign -which I will tonight!

fun cake!

Starfish part deux
