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.

Heinz Ketchup Bottle

For those of you who know me well, you know I love ketchup on pretty much anything haha.  So when I got a request for a cake decorated like a Heinz ketchup bottle for a coworker's birthday, I barely needed to have on in front of me as a model.  The extra request was that it looked like ketch up on the inside as well, so it either had to be red velvet cake or I would have to dye a yellow cake red.  The customer left it up to me.  I decided on a red velvet cake, here it is with only the label and lid decorated on.  Hard to tell the red isn't frosted on yet if you didn't know.

And here's the finished product.

I think the writing could have been a little more straight, but I was happy with the end product and so was the customer.
