Harry Potter cake 12/15

This gals hubby is a Harry Potter fan so I did this Harry Potter book for his birthday.

bobcat grooms cake & Rough finish wedding cake 10/15

The wedding cake was lemon poppy seed. She wanted a rough finish on the cake with the letters and flowers. The cake was simple - in fact it took me longer to decorate the Bobcat Groom's cake. I traced the bobcat  picture on Fondant and applied it to the cake. The Bobcat cake was a little harder for the Griz fan to do then I thought.  But I enjoy a challenge!

PS4 cake 10-15

Devonta is a gamer and his girlfriend wanted a PS4 game station cake for his birthday. The cake has buttercream frosting with a black fondant overlay on it ( only because it is difficult to get pure black buttercream frosting). The game controller is made with rice krispie treats and fondant covering.

The game picture was printed on paper and laminated and put on a piece of fondant to resemble the game that he likes to play. Will serve 25-30 people $50

Kris Pony

A birthday pony for Bentley

Minions

Everyone loves Minions - and my schedule has been full of them this week

Ice cream Birthday dessert

Thomas's mother called me from Utah. He is in the military in Great Falls and turning 21.

Mom wanted him to have his traditional family ice cream dessert. So I made this ice cream dessert (she sent me her awesome recipe!!) that has Oreo cookies in it. I made little Oreo Gremlins on the edges. Pretty simple recipe / simple surprise for a young man to let him know his mom loves him.

Madison #9

This was a cake for my Nieces 9th birthday.  She wanted all black with pink tiger stripes I told her she can't have all BLACK until she turns at least 30

Kaden & Max Birthday

It was Kaden's 8th birthday. I didn't think boys would like roses but it was short notice and I have lots of white roses to use up. Kaden loved it -  his last name is Rose!

The other cake I made up to use up more roses. When I found out it was Max's birthday I gave it to him - he was surprised that I made a cake for him. The hazards of making cakes - sometime you have extra cake and frosting and so you have to do something to use it up and not let it go to waste. My friends and co-workers don't mind helping me get rid of leftovers!

TONYA 1 ANNIV

Daughters 1st anniversary, 3 heart shaped cakes w white frosting roses.

BATMAN

Cyrus lives in Canada. His family came to Montana for vacation during his birthday. His mom believes in Homemade birthday cake to show your kids that you love them. However this is difficult to do when you are traveling. She called and asked if I could do a Superhero birthday cake for Cyrus's #2 birthday - Batman being his favorite.  So I did this super hero birthday cake. She later e-mailed to tell me that when he was asked what his favorite part of vacation was he said " the batman cake!"   Score!!!!

Lola anniv. 7-15

I did this for a 50th Anniversary. They wanted to use their original pink and blue colors but we added a few gold edible bead accents to the fresh flowers. He has given her carnations every year for their Anniv. so we used pink and white carnations with a blue lace ribbon..

Joe 7-15

 Joe wanted a nice cake for his bride. They didn't need a lot of cake so we put the cake on this chrome stand to help it have the effect of a bigger cake. Silk Sunflowers with Sapphire blue accent flowers and a blue satin ribbon.

#7

This was a seventh birthday cake for Ashlynn. The original picture was rainbow colored. In order to get that effect you have to do it with airbrush which I don't have - or know how to use. So I asked her to chose one  color and we did pink with black tiger stripes & peace signs!

I did extra cupcakes for her name so it wouldn't take away from the #7.

50th ( Cindy)

Cindy sent me the picture on the right - it was her parents wedding cake 50 years ago. She asked me to replicate the cake as best as I could from this old photo. Pretty dang close! The older cakes have a lot of details. Cindy and Family ( and mom and dad) were happy with it.  I think this would serve about 150 people.

HOLY CRAP TP CAKE

Don needed a special cake for his wife's 55 birthday. White cake with butter cream frosting.

The TP roll is made of Rice Krispie treats, frosted with fondant layer wrapped around it.

love laughter & cake

Jen and Rocco wanted this cake with green butter cream frosting and a white fondant swag.

I love their sign above the cake.

dream catcher 2 cake 7/15

This couple didn't want a traditional wedding cake. We did a dream catcher cake which is a native tradition.  This one has 4 eagle feather ( made with fondant) to represent the 4 winds.

Puppy dogs

Neighbor girls #2 birthday. Made the doghouse out of Rice Krispie treats so I used the rest of the treats to make doggie bones  for the puppies.

Comic car birthday cake for son-in-law

Teddy bear cake - Chilo #1 7/15

Grandson Chilo's 1st birthday cake. Teddy bear with a bear cub smash cake!

Jenn 7/15 tiger stripe and purple

Daughter-in-laws birthday cake

Magic cards cake 6-15

Grandson Camryn said he wanted a "Magic" ( card game) - Ice cream cake. SO this is my interpretation of a Magic card. Ice cream cakes are hard to do because I don't have one of those flash freezers like DQ has. You can only work on it about 5-6 minutes before it is melting and sliding off the plate - so you have to put it back in the freezer and wait another couple hours before you can work on it again.

5-15 Batman & Spiderman cupcakes

Grandson's like Spider-man and Batman 

so we made 50 cupcakes for their party in the park with a lot of kids.

Sunkist & Xbox cake 6/15

Another cake from the weekend. A Sunkist Orange soda and an Xbox is what keeps Michael busy so we made this birthday surprise for him. I don't like black frosting because it makes peoples mouth turn black but there is only one color of Xbox. The cake is chocolate and the controller is made of Rice Krispy treat covered with fondant. The mug has Reese's pieces in it with a cupcake on top, frosting for the foamy head and an orange candy stick to make it look like the soda is pouring out of the can. The can is real ( I couldn't duplicate that!) 

Keegan 5-15 Spiderman birthday cake

Keegan wanted a big Spiderman cake for his birthday. 

12"x 15" cake

Boy scout twinkie camp out cake

5 boys from our church turned 14 this week so there was a big birthday party. Mom asked me to do a scouting, woodsy type cake. I saw this idea using Twinkies for sleeping bags and made each of  the boys a camper. Fondant accents of shoes by the sleep bags, and fire circle and scriptures. Pretzels for the fire wood and boat dock on the lake and flag for the scouts and candy fish, cat tails by the lake.
This cake was 24'x 18' ( full sheet)

Bill's 90th birthday cake 2015

Bill's daughter found my name on the internet. She called from Florida and asked if I could do a nice cake for her dad's 90th birthday in Great Falls. Bill has 10 kids and none of them could make it home for his birthday and he loves fishing. I made this 2 layer cake with butter cream frosting and 10 cupcakes. There is a pink or blue fish on each cupcake to represent his 10 children and one big pick fish for Mamma! I made the fisherman and fish from fondant. Bill was a delight - he asked what was the 90 - the speed limit!

bosses birthday cake2015

Last minute cake for the Bosses birthday. 

Jodi & Garth 2015

Jodi chose this heart shaped two layer wedding cake.

Originally she was just going to set the cake on the table but she found a bargain on the pillars so we added the fountain under the cake. A small wedding with a small cake but we made it as big and special as her special day!  We couldn't find the edible heart shaped candies so we used silver charms from the craft dept and just removed them before the cake was served.
