Monkey's First Birthday
We had a jungle theme for our baby girl's first birthday party. I made this monkey out of rice krispie treats covered in fondant to coordinate with the decorations.

Happy Birthday Dad
I wanted to try a new chocolate cake recipe, so I experimented with my dad's birthday cake. I covered this cake in chocolate fondant, which I must say tastes much better than vanilla fondant!
Sweet 16
I made this cake for a friend's 16th birthday. This was my first attempt at covering a cake in fondant, and I haven't piped in quite a while, so it was definitely a good practice cake!

Baby Shower
I got to make this cake for a baby shower. The hostesses had decorated the invitation with dots of all sizes, so I made the cake to match.

Bridal Shower
A friend asked me to make this cake for a bridal shower she was throwing. The brides colors were black and white.

Rehearsal Dinner
A friend asked me to make a cake for her brother's rehearsal dinner. The wedding colors were black, white, and red. She was planning on decorating for the dinner with gerber daisies, so we decided I'd leave the top of the cake open for her to add some flowers.

Happy Birthday Mom
My mom had shared a recipe for a Red Velvet cake that sounded good, so I decided to surprise her with it for her birthday. Since we were celebrating on Easter, I made it very "springy" with flowers and butterflies.

Luck Be A Lady
For my sister-in-law's 30th birthday, she had a 20's casino party and since her birthday falls on St. Patrick's Day, my brother-in-law decided on a slot machine with four-leaf clovers and "Luck be a Lady" integrated into the cake.
Onesie
For this baby shower, the invitation was a onesie with "baby" across the chest. I made the cake to match the invitation, but put the baby's name on it to add a personal touch.

Princesses
Since my daughter was into Disney princesses, I gave her a Princess castle cake for her third birthday. The accents are plastic toys, but the cake was carved from a sheet cake and the piping was done in buttercream.
Taking the Plunge
We threw a wedding shower for a friend, and the theme was "They're Taking the Plunge." Everything was decorated with leis, grass skirts, and flowers, so I made the cake with fondant hibiscuses.

Picnic Party
For our oldest daughter's second birthday, we wanted to have a picnic party at a local park. I had a vision for this cake, so I took a couple of cake classes and was hooked! This was my first attempt with fondant and stacking. Actually, other than the class cakes, this was my first decorated cake!
