cakes that I have made

$100.00 This is the most recent cake, it was for a friends daughters first birthday..this cake was so much fun because I got good leeway with the mom, and she pretty much let me be creative with the ideas that I had in my mind on how to make it really cute..
$250.00 This was another wedding cake that I did in the summer of 2009..the bride did not want fondant so it was textured icing, she really wanted it flat but that was next to impossible...but I tried to make it as cute as possible, I think it turned out good, but I definately learned a few things that would have made this process a little easier.

$400 This cake was one of my first wedding cakes, it was four layers, in this pic it only has the first 3, and I absolutely loved it, the bride basically told me the shape and colors, and let me go with it...Which is like my dream customer, I loved showing up on her wedding day and bascially giving her a big surprise, she had no idea what the end result would be, and it was amazing to have her see her gorgeous cake. I do request artistic leeway, with flowers, or colors, pretty much any leeway that a bride is able to give me, I will take because that will make the cake that much more one of a kind!!!


This is my first cake ever!!! It was such a fun experience but I definately learned ALOT!!! It was my wedding cake, and I am so proud of it!!
If you have any questions please let me know...I am more than happy to let you know any information that I have available!!!










Making Fondant work IN your benefit

Hey everyone, so as a cake maker, I have had my problems with Fondant. I have only been making cakes for 2 years now but I have learned so much in that time. The first wedding cake I made, which is the pink and white one posted. I had the absolute hardest time with the fondant ripping. I had one day to complete the cake, and I had re-done this layer about 4 times, (it was an artificial layer) Well, I discovered that the best and easiest pointer I got was to knead the fondant, like double the time that you did before. I would say I would knead it about 8 minutes, the consistency doesnt really change, it is a little more pliable but its everything...just a few more minutes, makes this cake work!!! I absolutely LOVE fondant now, I would never do a cake without implementing fondant every again!!! Well thats my little tidbit for the day, now make sure that you give me a call when your ready for your wedding cakes!!! I also do chocolates for reception service...which makes a sweet little addition to that beautiful day.
