Seriously Spotty

This was a black and red version of the pink polka dot cake I made a couple of months ago. At first I was skeptical about making the polka dots just two colors...I thought it would look better if I did varying shades of red and black. After I got started, though, I realized that I was wrong...lol. So see... I CAN admit that my way isn't always the best way!!! lol

Here Comes the Bride

This is my very first wedding cake! One of the ladies I work with was helping plan a small wedding for a couple at her church and she asked me to make the cake! Overall, I am really proud of how it came out :)

Gavin's Big First Birthday

This little boy was having his first birthday and loves 'Jack's Big Music Show', so his mom asked me to make a cake with one of the characters - 'Mel the Dog'. Overall, I think it came out pretty cute! :)

Balloons for the Birthday Girl

The person that ordered this cake had really only specified that they wanted something with balloons, so I thought this design would be really cute. I added the polka dots on the side so that I could match the big cake to the "smash cake" for the birthday girl!

Strawberry Swirls

My friends little girl wanted a cake with 'cream' and strawberrys on top for her birthday, so this is what I came up with! The only downside was that the strawberries dripped a lot of juice that settled on the icing, but overall I thought it was really pretty!

It's a Boy!

I made this for a baby shower at work...I thought the animals were cute, but I think maybe it needed some grass. And the lion looks like he is on a diet of radioactive carrots...lol.

Father's Day in the Windy City

This was a Father's Day cake for a man that loves all things 'Chicago'. We decided to do a word play off the Chicago Cubs/Chicago Bears...I really loved the idea...wish it was mine! lol
