Spring Elegance






This cake will soon be on display in the lobby of Shula's Hotel in Miami Lakes. The flowers are called ranunculus. Funny name, but a beautiful flower.

"What's it going to Bee"





Congratulations to our good friends Mark and Leylani. It's a girl!!! A few months ago they asked me to make the cake for their baby shower. There was one catch, though: the top tier was going to reveal the sex of the baby at the baby shower. So, for the last few months, my husband and I... and the ultrasound technician... were the only ones that knew. This past weekend they cut into the top tier to reveal a pink vanilla cake with strawberry buttercream.

Boys being boys





The "Karate Kid" was a topper I made for a boy's birthday cake. He was made with sugarpaste and fondant.

The handsome fellow on the drums is our good friend George. We had the priviledge of making this Groom's cake for his wedding. The cake is a replica of his snare drum. It was vanilla cake with key lime filling. The topper was made out of rice krispies treats, sugarpaste, and fondant.

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.

"I do..."








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