Lilly's 6th Birthday Cake





As always, it had to be horses. She wanted a barn theme again, but I asked her to consider something a little different and I did a carousel. The cake was vanilla and the filling was Cherry Almond Mousse. The carousel even turned on it's base.

Happy Birthday Logan!

I made this for my nephew's 5th birthday.

The cake is not chocolate, it is actually a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting tinted brown. We made the wood grain with food coloring. In the hot July afternoon this cake began to melt and droop. The birthday boy never noticed and he thought it was the coolest cake ever.

Fourth of July Cake


This cake didn't even get finished before it was eaten. It was loved by all, though.
