Hot Pink Zebra, Polka Dots and Stars Quinceanera Cake


My new favorite cake, it fed 200 people! Top tier was red velvet cake with chocolate ganache filling and cream cheese filling. 2nd and 4th tier were vanilla cake with vanilla italian meringue buttercream. 3rd tier was Devils food chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling and chocolate italian meringue butter cream.


Each tier has a different design which made this cake fun and unique, the quinceanera decided on polka dots on the bottom and i was a bit unsure of it but it actually came out nice!


Surrounded by gumpaste stars and more stars attached to the cake on each tier.

Stars and polka dots with her name Marianna on the bottom tier and the cake board had a zebra print border.

"Just Married" Wedding Cake


My very first wedding cake, all vanilla with vanilla italian meringue buttercream and strawberry filling with strawberries.


This was an interesting choice of cake, it was very different than your average cake because she wanted the cake to be offset with pillars to hold it up, and she wanted black and red lettering all over the cake. We added small red roses to the cake for a finishing touch to this romantic cake. I did make a small mistake writing the last name before applying the border so it covered it a bit :/ but now i know.


These are my gumpaste roses...they look pretty realistic!

Yo Gabba Gabba Cake


Yo Gabba Gabba cake made for a 2 year old that LOVES Brobie :) Flavors included vanilla cake with vanilla Italian meringue buttercream, chocolate devils food cake with milk chocolate ganache filing and chocolate Italian meringue butter cream, and strawberry cake with strawberry flavored Italian meringue butter cream


 The cake for the party included the main characters of the show and a little white chocolate boom box!


 He had his own smash cake made into a Brobie head just for him.

The Luau Birthday Party



My NEW favorite cake! LOVE LOVE LOVE the colors for this cake! The sun light from the window hit this cake just perfect for a beautiful and bright colored picture! this may have been my toughest project yet simply because the flowers just would not come out right...i made 4 different attempts worrying that i would have to buy fake ones and adorn the cake with them, but i was totally dedicated and determined to do as she wished and i refused to give up. After about 7 attempts trying 6 different ways i finally succeeded and then "35 hours with no sleep" later I had this cake 30 cookies and 48 cupcakes ready to go!


Finished product here at my work space. Top tier in strawberry filled with strawberry Italian meringue buttercream, middle in devils food chocolate filled with milk chocolate ganache and chocolate Italian meringue buttercream, and bottom layer in vanilla filled with vanilla Italian meringue buttercream. Covered in fondant and adorned with gumpaste Hibiscus flowers.

Hot Pink & Zebra Glitter Cake


Another Zebra Cake!! This cake was meant to look like the popular Celeste design only with a bit of glam and glitz added to it! I used two types of edible glitter on this cake. I added stars to this one just like the Alize cake i did in January. The flavor was Devils Food Chocolate with Milk Chocolate Ganache filling and Chocolate Italian meringue Buttercream!! Yum!! 


Fancy candy letters also glittery.


Candy #24 with glittery stars! 


Love this cake!
