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!
