MacKenzie Childs-inspired cake

This cake was made for a MacKenzie Childs collector: www.mackenzie-childs.com

It was inspired by an ottoman that is part of her collection. The flowers on top were hand painted.

Birthdays for her...

Yee-Haw, Ride'em Cowboy

They wanted the cowboy and his horse to have the same set of chompers; I think they're a perfect match. The bottom tier was a classic rum cake with buttercream filling. The top tier was vanilla bean cake with dulce de leche filling.

Play Ball!

Sports themed cake pops. These were fun to make. My favorite were the tennis balls. I used sugar crystals to give it the "fuzzy" appearance of the real thing.

French Poodles

"I do..."

This one had sentimental value. It was used by my future brother-in-law to propose to my baby sister.

Cake Pops are finally here!

Sugar Art-Work

Busy few months...Enjoy!

As promised, here are the cakes for the birthday boys: "Cars" and "Surf's Up". I'm also posting the one baby shower cake w/ cupcake tower I made. Enjoy!

Birthday Madness!!!

The last 2 months have been crazy, but in a good way. Its been one birthday after another with a baby shower thrown in for good measure. Here are the cakes I made for the birthday girls (the first pic is a close-up of the Strawberry Shortcake cookie basket I made). My next post will have the cakes for the birthday boys.

Time For Class...

This weekend I was able to attend cake decorating class on Saturday and Sunday with Marcela Capo (http://www.marcelacapo.com/). In the first class, we created a ballerina using gum paste. The second class focused on animal prints and purses. I had a blast and can't wait for the next one!
