Blue green cake

This blue, green cake is made out of red velvet and my new cream cheese buttercream recipe. It was for Jayson's coworker, Cindy. I took a painting class 2 weeks ago from Let Them Eat Cake of Costa Mesa with Beth. Therefore, I tried painting the color blue for the background using vodka and gel color (as you can tell by the streaks). This was my first time using a square pan.

red ribbon carrot cake

This is a 8 in. round, birthday cake made out of carrot cake and brown sugar buttercream. I tried to do a drapery effect with ribbons. The super red color was hard to achieve.

birthday carrot cake

This one was a surprise birthday cake. All he requested for were a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and the cake to be natural tone colors (his wife's favorite), the rest was up to me. The carrot cake recipe is a nice simple one, only carrots and walnuts, no raisins! I decided to try ribbons made out of half gumpaste and fondant. The result was amazing, although very delicate.

baby shower cake

This one is for a baby shower I did for my co-worker who was the hostess. It is a 6in. round, red-velvet cake with white chocolate buttercream and a 10in. round, chocolate pound cake with chocolate buttercream. The baby blocks are red velvet petit fours. The blocks were the hardest to work with (as you can tell, its not perfect).

retro lemon cake

This was a 9 in. round, lemon cake with limoncello flavored buttercream. I decided to try this retro look for my co-worker's birthday. The black fondant was difficult to achieve. It was a nice surprise to see a light, lemony coloring inside.

gerbera wedding cake / cupcakes

This is the first wedding I did. It was for 6 dozen cupcakes and a bridal cake. The bride wanted gerbera daisies and her theme was black, white, burgundy with accents of orange and yellow with personalization. The daisies were painstakingly time consuming. I made big and small sizes. The couples' initial were imprinted in the big daises. It took me a whole week to do these. The cake and cupcakes were devil's chocolate cake with white chocolate buttercream. Word was, the bride was pleased!

keroppi cake

This was an interesting cake to make. It was for my co-worker's birthday. It was my first time using flood royal icing. The original way of putting it on a sheet protector didn't work, so I had to trace the image straight onto the cake. This cake is a strawberry shortcake made out of vanilla poundcake, homemade whipped cream, and sugared strawberries. Yummy!
