Cris' 16th Birthday Cake


Hello Kitty has invaded my house. I incorporated the help of the birthday girl for this cake. She molded Hello Kitty out of fondant. I used a fondant ribbon cutter to make the bottom layers and used all her favorite neon colors for this cake. It was a hit.

Go Zebras (8th Grade Graduation Cake)


This was actually my first paying gig. I did the zebra cake for a friend of my cousin. Her son was graduation 8th grade and the school he would be attending had a zebra for a mascot.


I also did a small personal anniversary cake for her and her husband's anniversary that fell on the same day as the graduation party. This was also the first time I tried out my special chocolate truffle cake.

Cheer Cake



My neice is a cheerleader and she wanted a "cheer" cake. The cheerleader pan was a little too cutesy for a 10 year old's birthday so I used a large sheet cake pan and cut it to size. I molded her name with the candy molds.

This cake is done with the basket weave technique and the candy molded daisies. Of course, it's carrot cake with cream cheese filling and cream cheese icing.

Hannah Montana Guitar Cake



This cake was originally purple. However, when it got into the sun it turned blue and it melted. I did the neck, bridge and sound hole of the guitar in molded chocolate and the strings were rolled fondant. I used the Wilton Guitar Pan to shape the cake as well as mold the neck, bridge and sound hole.

Butterfly Cake


This cake was for my friend's daughter's 6th birthday. She wanted a butterfly cake, but I wanted to make sure there was plenty of cake for the whole party. I made this cake a french vanilla cake with real strawberries for the filling. I made the cupcakes to look like daisies in the grass and surrounded the butterfly with them, so it looked like it was surrounded by flowers. The daisies are made with candy molds.

A cake for my princess

She's usually into monkeys, but this year she wanted a princess cake. I used the wilton doll pan and created this cake with fondant and royal icing flowers. The flowers she's holding came from my garden from my pea vine. The bottom teir is buttercream with fondant flowers. The cake flavor was orange, lemon and strawberry with cream filling. When cut into it was pink, orange and yellow.
