Max's Monster Mania



This was a monster truck themed cake for Max's 5th Birthday.  It was a 10" round vanilla cake filled with a rich vanilla butter cream frosting.

The entire monster truck was made out of rice krispy treats covered in butter cream and fondant.  I made the body of the truck first and carved out rivets for the wheels, then I carved out the cab using a separate piece of rice krispy and placed it on top of the body fusing it with royal icing. The tires were cut out by using a fluted biscuit cutter to give it some ridges. 

Vintage Bling

 This cake was a made for a little girl named Bella who was turning 4. She loves thing very Blingy and she is a little diva in the making.  Her mom gave me the rhinestone trim and the rhinestone monogram for the top of the cake.  She also provided me with some pre-made Anemones.  I did however, have to make an extra 7 or so Anemones to fill the gaps on the cake.  The rhinestone boarder did not go all the way around the cake and I had to improvise to fill the gap.


This cake was a 12" round and about 6 to 7 inches high.  The cake was a chocolate cake with raspberry preserve filling coated with a white chocolate butter cream.  The entire cake was quilted all around with the accessories added to it.

Lion Themed Baby Shower


These are mini cupcakes I made for a Lion Themed baby shower.  They were Red Velvet with cream cheese icing topped with lion heads and palm leaves.  The the lion heads were made out of a small flower cutter, a round cutter, and a heart shaped cutter with black sugar pearls for the eyes.
