Today's Wedding Cake

Here is the wedding cake I have been working on this weekend. I think it turned out great. The bride said it was "prettier than she dreamed!" That was a pretty good complement! She wanted cream cheese icing...it is super hard to work with compared to buttercream! It melts with too much work and isn't as easy to smooth...but over all I think it looked great. She wanted the cake VERY plain with only a little design on the middle layer. The flavors were Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese filling and French Vanilla with Raspberry Cream Cheese filling. They also ordered two sheet cakes from me to be served out of the kitchen. They were white with strawberry cream cheese filling, and red velvet with strawberry filling. Both frosted with the same cream cheese filling.







Winnie the Pooh Cake

Here is a cake I did last week. It was for a little girls first birthday party. It was Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese filling.

Unicorn Cake

This is the cake I did this last weekend. It was a unicorn and rainbow party. The inside of the cake was actual rainbow cake! The birthday girl's Mom took pictures of the cake once it was cut, and I will post those as soon as I get them. It was so fun to do the actual rainbow colored cake! This cake also had Strawberry Cream Cheese filling in it.

Minnie Mouse Cake

Topsy Turvy Minnie Mouse Cake. I love doing topsy turvy cakes because every time I do them I learn something new. I made this cake for my 2 year old nieces party. It was so yummy. The bottom was Chocolate Cake with Cookies and Cream filling. The top two layers were white cake with Chocolate Mud Mousse.

Scout Cakes

I was asked to make some cakes for the scouts in my church. It was the Arrow of Light ceremony. The big cake is a replica of the badge, the little cakes represent both boys who earned it. One loves football, the other reading.
