Skate Cake


A roller skate birthday cake for a 13 year old. They requested roller skates and flames. I lost a lot of sleep over the cake this week!

While it may look like the one skate is leaning right off the cake, I assure you, it is not. 1) I don't take level pictures, and 2) I cut the top of the cake on a slant and didn't notice. So it's not the stake that is slanting off the cake, it's actually just not a level top by like a 1/2 centimeter. And that's going to torture me.

Wow Wow Wubbzy


My first order from a stranger came through this week. She wanted 3 dozen cupcakes for her daughter's 3rd birthday. The theme was this Nick Jr. show called Wow Wow Wubbzy. She wanted 18 Wubbzy cupcakes and 18 chocolate cupcakes. This is the result...

Yankee Cupcakes


Cupcakes ordered for a Yankee Bridal Shower. It took me forever and a day to get the lettering right on these. I'm still unhappy with them, but what can you do?


Gyno Cake


Jane's roommate Kate is a gynecology nurse. Jane requested a gynecology cake for Kate's birthday. Yes, that is a speculum and the symbol for women.


Cornhole, Anyone?


For Alex's birthday, Erin requested a "cornhole cupcake cake."

Spiderman In the City


This cake is for Sean's 3rd birthday party! I don't know if my vision was captured as well as I would have liked, but I'm pleased with the buildings. AND the adorable cars. (Buildings and cars made with fondant.)

Turns out that it is freakishly tough to find a small spiderman figure these days. I had big plans for Spiderman to be standing on the ground shooting a web up to the building, but Spiderman was taller than the buildings so that wasn't going to work. But mom came up with the rooftop angle, and we went with it.

Friendly neighborhood Spiderman...

Father's Day - Poker Cake


Mom asked me to pull a cake together for Father's Day, so I went with the Poker theme since my dad plays several times a week at the Franklin bowling alley. The 1's and 5's are poker chips... apparently that was not clear by the cake-eaters.
