Sailin' with Irini


This was a chocolate sailboat named Irini.
On top of the sail I put a directional and on the base I put a life preserver. They were both made out of fondant. The date on the corner of the right sail is the boat owners actual birthday. On the smaller sail I put a strip of sprinkles for decoration.

Lights, Camera, Party!!!



This cake was a sure movie starter. It was a chocolate clapperboard! This cake was for a ten year old's birthday who loves to act. The gold glitter was Pearl dust and I used sugar letters so it would look more realistic.

It was a "Super" Birthday!!



This "Superman" cake was for a great kid who adores his superheroes and wanted specifically requested sprinkles on his cake. The "Superman" logo is very popular and I've made it for boys and girls in lots of different colors. Scroll down a bit and you can see it in pink and purple for a girl name "Sydney" (so the "S" logo was perfect for her and she's also a super kid)
By the way that's a picture of me below in my working space.

"Face" Cake

This cake was made for a grandmother's birthday party with the faces of all her grandchildren. I used a vanilla wafer for the face and personalized each one to look like each grandchild. Each grandchild got to eat their own face which made it more tasty.

Hockey Cake


Ari is an all around sports kid but loves the "Islanders", so for his birthday, his folks ordered a hockey rink cake. I frosted the cake in the Islander colors and put his initials on little hockey pucks. Ari had a great birthday party, got lots of presents and had a terrific cake, a natural "Hat Trick".

Supergirl Syd's Birthday Cake

This cake was for Sydney's 12th birthday. She's a "Super" kid so she got a "Supergirl" cake. I can make the "Super-person" logo for either boys or girls and you can customize the colors of the logo. If you look above you can see a "Superman" logo in blue and yellow.

Sleepover cake


Rachel and Gabi are twin sisters who had a sleepover for their birthday. What better way to celebrate their sleepover party than with a sleepover cake? I used Twinkies for the body and a marshmallow for the pillow. They were completely surprised when they saw this cake and all the girls who slept over loved it. Each one wanted a head and a pillow.

Christmas Tree

In the spirit of the Holiday season I made this Christmas tree cake. I decorated a chocolate cake with green icing and covered it with different candies as ornaments, I used an ice cream cone to look like the tree trunk.

Snowmen & Raindeer


These were for a Holiday office party with lots of people and instead of a large cake I made individual cupcakes. To keep with the holiday theme I made vanilla "snowmen" and chocolate "reindeer" Each "snowman" and "reindeer" were decorated differently. For the "reindeer" I used pretzels for the antlers and M&M's and non-parels for the eyes, nose and mouth. The "snowmen" were marshmallows and decorated with pretzel sticks for arms, and assorted candies for everything else.

Rainbow Cake

I made this cake during one of my cake decorating classes. We were learning how to decorate with"stars". This was a vanilla cake that I covered in blue frosting to look like the sky. I pipped the rainbow out of different colored stars. At the end of the rainbow I used white frosting to look like clouds. I brought the cake into school and let my friends enjoy the cake.

It's a "10"

This week my sister turned ten and I made her a special cake out of a one and a zero. Her favorite color is purple so I iced the cake with purple icing. I tried my hand at making flowers. Not bad for a first try. I am taking cake decorating classes and I know my cakes will get better and better. Come check them out and see for yourself.
