40th Reunion Simms High 8-18


Everyone see pictures on my cakes on Facebook. They said I needed to make a cake for our 40th reunion so they could all taste what they have been watching me post pictures of for years. This just made me think .... It is just shy of 40 years since I started doing cakes.  Lots on blood sweat and tears have gone into growing my talent. I have been truly blessed with a talent that even some days I even surprise myself.  I appreciate all my friend, family, & acquaintances support! This is doing what I love and loving what I do

Spidy for dad Birthday 6-18


Dad and the kids are into Spider-man so we made dad's 25th birthday cake with spiderwebs. Look close and see the small Spider-man (done in fondant) on the upper left corner of the 5.  Sorry the picture was blurry ( had to get an new phone  for better pictures!) The picture doesn't show the details very well but I did a city skyline along the bottom of the numbers - blue sky with black building  silhouette.

Finding wedding cakes

I see that it is kind of hard to scroll through several years of cakes to find the wedding cakes so  If you click on the label of the type of cake you want below it will filter only those types of cakes for you to look at. With 40 years of experience no 2 cakes are alike so I have tons of pictures.  Send me a copy of a cake you are thinking about and we can make a cake that is unique for your special day.

Finding cakes by category

There are are lot of Birthday cakes and cakes of all types on my blog. In order to see cakes for a particular category you can click on the labels listed below to sort by type you need. In other words if you click on Kids Birthday  - all you will see are kids cakes. If you click on adult cakes you will only see cakes for adults.

Graduation for CMR 2018, The 1st cake I did for a Scout fund raiser - It was for a silent action. the second one was for my friend Nina's daughter who is going into the Army - hence the dog tags.

Fairyland birthday cake Jen 2018




My daughter-in-law loves flowers and gardens so we made her this fairyland birthday cake. It was a bit short notice so the figurines were purchased a the Hobby store. ( frogs, mushroom, Butterflies, Silk flowers and a fairy). I made a pretzel stick fence and fondant rocks around the pond. We wanted coconut pecan frosting but it isn't Jen's favorite so  by adding the blue pond and the green grass  in buttercream we all had the cake we wanted.

40th birthday stein for Jason 6-18



Jason is a world traveler and collects steins - and he like a good beer so we made this beer mug for his 40th birthday

Paintball BIrthday cake Camryn 6-18



My Grandson Camryn is into paintball. He wanted an ice cream cake so I make one but it is really hard to keep it frozen. The colors melted and ran but that helped the effect of the paintball. I used gun balls for the paint balls. I made cupcakes  to be sure we had enough cake and ice cream for everyone.

PJ MASK CUPCAKES & BUTTERFLY CUPCAKES 5-2018





Two kids with birthdays really close together so mom was doing one party. 
He likes PJ Mask and she is a Butterfly girls. The masks and Butterflies are made out of fondant.
To make 12 butterflies  and 12 masks  it took 2 hours each set. They were fun to make but needless to say these cupcakes weren't profitable for me - almost 7 hours into 24 cupcakes.

Rifle cakes - Dave 2018



In 1986 I made the top rifle cake for my husbands birthday. This year I asked my 39 year old son that kind of cake he wanted and he said "you know I like guns".  I though about the cake I had done for his dad (30th birthday) so I thought I'd try to make another gun cake. I obtained one of Dave's guns (actually he inherited this gun from his Grandfather) to use for a life size pattern. It is a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting  and Black & gray fondant accents. I couldn't make the cake smaller so that it matched the actual gun or there wouldn't be much cake to eat.  He will be surprised. Pretty proud of myself my skills have improved over the last 30 years!
