Gimme Five!! (Cakes that is)

That's what the lady ordered...five cakes for five members of her family who all shared the same birthday week! It was a fun concept, but very time consuming. They were thrilled with the finished products though, which makes a busy day well worthwhile!
















BOO!! Hallowe'en Cake

I love Hallowe'en, and I loved creating this spooky treat for my friends Halloween party. If you ever wonder what scares a ghost, it's the little green guy behind him. ;)





Transformer Cake and cupcakes

I have a new respect for the people who created Transformers...they are not simple creatures. I spent a lot of time precision cutting shapes, and staring at endless pictures of these boy toys.




1972 Chevelle Malibu

Ohhh, the dreaded car cake! These are hard enough to make, but this baby was a doozy!! Just as I was finishing up final touches on it, I noticed the back end of the car had cracked and fell off....I underestimated the weight of the fondant, and with the car being raised it lacked support. My car crashed, and took a one way trip to the trash can. I have patched up cakes before, but I am not a magician. The cake was not salvagable. I was devestated! Thankfully the party I was making it for wasn't until the next day, so I stayed up most of the night making a whole new cake. The second cake actually turned out better, and I even recieved a standing ovation when I delivered it! I like car cakes with happy endings.











Spongebob Cake

Any one who lives in a pineapple under the sea is pretty cool in my book! This was a fun cake to make, but unfortunately the lady who ordered it, never picked it up. Maybe a good story for a Spongebob episode.....I ended up taking it over to a friend, where it would be appreciated (she has four kids).
