Starwberry Shortcake




This cake was for the last of my daughter's BFFs.  Samantha celebrated her birthday at her favorite diner, Ocean Diner in Hermosa Beach and then spent the rest of the day at the beach with her friends.

The theme of her cake was Strawberry Shortcake.  This was an 8" cake covered in red fondant.  I made Strawberry Shortcake's house in fondant for the topper of the cake.  I used molds and cutters for the other embellishments on the cake.

Turn N' Burn


This cake was for my cousin's fitness studio, Turn N' Burn in Chino Hills.  They were celebrating the 1 year anniversary of their business and I was honored enough to make the cake along with 2 dozen cupcakes to help them celebrate.

This was a 6" chocolate cake with coconut buttercream filling.  I created their logo using fondant and decorated the sides of the cake with different size polka dots using their logo colors.


Carnival Ferris Wheel





This was for Jaelynne who was turning 2.  She was celebrating her party at the Santa Monica Pier.  Her theme was a carnival theme focusing on the Santa Monica Pier Ferris Wheel.

The cake was an 8" cake that went on top of a 5 tier cupcake tower.  The Ferris Wheel topper on the cake was made out of gum paste.  I also made 6 dozen mini cupcakes to go around the cupcake tower.  3 dozen cupcakes were topped with fondant pinwheels and ride tickets.  The other 3 dozen were decorated with red sprinkles.  The cake with the number 2 on it was the smash cake I made for especially for Jaelynne to match the rest of her cakes.

Hello Maya!


This cake was for another one of my daughter's BFFs turning 4.  Maya had a Hello Kitty themed tea party for her Birthday.  All her friends were served lemonade in tea cups and sandwiches and were given gloves, hats, and boas.

This was a 10" chocolate cake with fresh strawberries and whipping cream as the filling.  The whole cake was covered in pink fondant.  The flowers where made using white fondant colored by brushing on pink, blue, and green petal dust.  The center of each flower had white sugar pearls.  Hello Kitty and the number 4 were made out of gum paste.

Munkee Boy



This cake was for my cousin's husband Alex (Munkee).  We celebrated his 31st Birthday with our family and I decided to make him a monkey cake since he loves monkeys.  I made the monkey out of fondant and used black sugar pearls for his eyes and edible marker for his nose and mouth.

V-Games Dirt Bike Cake



This cake was for brothers Ethan and Jacob turning 3 and 1.  The theme of their party was V-games for  their last name Vega.  The main event for the V-games was dirt bike racing since both Ethan and his Dad ride dirt bikes.  Each guest received Pit Passes as invitations for this very fun and creative party.

This cake was a topsy turvy cake.  The bottom tier being the dirt bike course and top tier representing the checkered flag with the score board.  Each rock was marbleized using brown, black, and white fondant.  The score board was made out of gum paste and edible marker.

Ella Gets Tangled




This cake was for one of my daughter's BFFs for her 4th Birthday.  It was a Tangled themed Pump It Up party.  Her mom gave me the figurines on top to mimic the lantern scene of the movie.  The boat that the figurines came in was too big so I made my own boat out of fondant to fit the cake.  The waves were made by cutting out a bunch of circles and cutting them in half and then placing them around the boat.  I used a braid mold to make the name and boarder around the cake.

The cupcakes were decorated with fondant cutouts.  Rapunzel's Braid, a number 4 for Ella's age, and flowers.
