Grey marbled cake with sugar roses

I'm absolutely in love with this cake! The marbled effect on this cake was completely accidental. My original design is an all grey cake with intricate piping on all 3 tiers. However, as I added black fondant to my white I realized how good it looked marbled. Turned out to be the best cake I've made thus far!
Love the colors of the sugar roses against the grey color.

Cherry blossom wedding cake

The cherry blossoms on this cake were made with no cutters. Each one was cut and shaped by hand. They're so beautiful!
Here's another view attached to the cake. Amazing how they all began with just a ball of gumpaste!
And finally the wedding cake! I love the simplicity of this.

Very hungry caterpillar

These cakes are for a a little girl who just turned 1!
 Cupcakes were going to be added to this cute little smash cake by mom.
 The dessert table looked really cute! Especially the cupcakes with the smash cake.

Roses, Berries & Watercolor Cake

This is one of my absolute favorite cakes! I love the look of the sugar roses and the arrangement along with the leaves and berries. It is so beautiful!
 The watercolor effect was not the original design I had in mind. It only had all pink stripes but thought it looked plain. I luckily had enough drying time to do this and the results are gorgeous!

Mickey Mouse Cakes

These Mickey Mouse cakes were made two weeks apart. The first cake pictured is a birthday cake for baby Jakob who turned 1. I had so much fun making this cake!
The Minnie Mouse cake was inspired from a picture the mother had sent me. She wanted something simple and wanted to change some of the colors of the cake.
 It always makes me happy when I'm requested to make beautiful cakes for such special occasions. It truly is an honor to be a part of their special day.

Hydrangea birthday cake

I love the colors on these! Yes,  I know it's fall but the birthday girl requested fun colorful flowers. This  cake was inspired from my hydrangea dress cake I made last year.

Tiffany blue color cake with a pink peony

My client requested a Tiffany blue color cake with a peony. This cake is for her sister's birthday and she loves this shade of blue. I love the combination of blue and pink so I decided on a pink sugar peony.

Jiu JItsu cake!

This very special cake is for my oldest brother who now holds a blue belt in Jiu Jitsu. The cake is a surprise and it was a big hit at his surprise birthday party!
I don't have much experience with gumpaste figures but with the help of a Craftsy class, I was able to create something cute.  
I liked everything about this cake, my brother in his favorite color uniform, his dog biting his opponent's leg, but my favorite part of this cake is the gumpaste figure on the mat. His face expression is hilarious while his arm is locked in an arm bar.

Teal buttercream cake and red sugar peony

This is my first all buttercream cake.. I  exclusively use swiss meringue buttercream for all of my cakes and never american buttercream. It's simply too sweet for my taste.
My customer does not like the taste of fondant so she requested an all buttercream cake. The cake design she wanted could only be achieved with all american buttercream and she was informed of the sweetness of this type of icing.

Brush Embroidery and Sugar Peony Cake

I absolutely loved making this Peony! This is my first successful wired sugar Peony thanks to the godfather of sugar flowers Nicholas Lodge. Every sugar flower artist knows how valuable it is to use good quality gumpaste. His recipe makes a world of a difference. I'm able to roll the the gumpaste quite thinly without tearing. I used Satin Ice before and was always unsuccessful with wired petals. I'm never going back to commercially made gumpaste. Thanks Nicholas Lodge!


Last time I used brush embroidery technique was over a year ago when I just started cake decorating. So rusty at it and I had to it over a handful of times. I definitely need to practice my piping skills. Overall, this cake turned out beautifully!

Mom's hat box cake with sugar roses

I had originally planned on making my mom a Chanel Classic Flap cake. But I've seen a lot of them lately and wanted to create something else. For my mom's 63rd birthday I made her a hat box cake and boy it was a hit!
