Recent Cakes I've Done

An owl cake for my neighbor's birthday.

The Jungle Book for a friend's birthday!

A pink zebra print cake for a cookout.

And a race car 6th birthday cake... more to come!

Bratz Birthday

I was given this image from the party plates to work with when asked for a Bratz birthday cake. 

In the end this was the finished cake.

And these simple cupcakes with some flowers on them went with the cake.

Turkey Cupcakes

My contribution to our Thanksgiving gathering with friends were these turkey cupcakes.

Baptism Cake

This was one of my toughest cakes yet, but the one I'm probably most proud of.  It's a two-tier, double layer cake.  The bottom is a 10" double layer chocolate cake with a buttercream filling, and the top is a 6" double layer yellow cake with a buttercream frosting.  The design idea came from a cake that was originally requested, but was totally done in fondant which I haven't tried using yet, so I did what I could with buttercream to make it work.  The lattice work and the cross on top were probably the most difficult parts, but I think the finished product looks great!

The bottom tier when it was almost done.

Before the lattice work was added to the top tier.

And a couple different angles of the finished product.

Karate Cake

Nate had a karate tournament the other day and they were looking for donations of cakes and dishes that could be used as food during the tournament.  So I took one of his t-shirts with the logo from his dojo and put that onto the cake.  I guess it was a huge hit and the cake was gone in no time.  The hardest part here was the Japanese writing, so glad there were only a few characters to do.

A Freddy Krueger Birthday

A friend asked if I could make a Freddy Krueger birthday cake for her boyfriend.  So I searched for a bit on Google and came up with this design.  Definitely not easy to trace this one so I had to free hand it.  Hope they all enjoyed eating it!  (and having their mouths turn black)

Pittsburgh Steelers Moose

A customer I had last month was looking for another cake for her significant other's birthday.  She requested a moose wearing a Steelers jersey.  This is what I was able to come up with thanks to Google images.  It is a 10" round yellow cake with buttercream frosting.
