Brigham's Buttons

This cake is for a cute, little guy, just barely born. When I told my nine-year old, Q, the concept for this cake, he smartly asked, "But... why is a button cute?" Great question. Answer: it just is.

Skate or Die... or Just Eat Cake

My oldest child - wonderful, darling Q - just turned nine years old (GASP). When I asked what kind of cake he wanted, he initially told me that he wanted a robot. I was slightly relieved when he changed his mind. This skateboard proved to be pretty simple and really fun to make! Happy Birthday, Q! Now, quit getting any older... please!

Flashback

I was looking through old photos today and found these; my wedding cake (circa 1998) and my parents' wedding cake (circa 1970).

Labor of Love

I made this cake for my brother and his incredibly lovely wife (you just couldn't ask for a sister-in-law this wonderful; though I am spoiled in that I have several sisters-in-law that are that wonderful!). I was very honored to make this cake for their reception to celebrate their getting "sealed" in the temple (a very happy ordinance in the LDS faith). My weekend spent with family and the happy couple's closest friends was a thrill - especially because all of our children ran around like crazy and thoroughly enjoyed one another's company.

This was the biggest and most difficult cake I had taken on so far. My super talented nieces helped me out in a big way (I couldn't have pulled it off without them) and my mother gave me her kitchen for the weekend. Of course, my husband was very supportive... and I'd like to thank the academy!

Sprouting Daisies

This cake was made for my friend's baby shower - she is having a girl (in case you couldn't guess). It's covered and decorated in fondant.

For Alice

This cake was made for a friend's surprise birthday party. The theme was "Alice in Wonderland" and so my friend's husband wanted a "Mad Hatter" cake.

I recently purchased a clay gun and I'm having so much fun using it - the fondant ropes along the bottom of each tier are made using the clay gun.

Beckett's Bugs

This cake was made for a friend's baby shower. It is covered in fondant with a fabric ribbon on both tiers. The "insects" are made with a fondant/gum paste mix and the "B" is made with royal icing.

My friend - the amazingly talented photographer - took these pictures for me. Thanks, P!

Tic-Tac-Toe

This cake is decorated with fondant - the green background is meant to look like a chalkboard.

Simply Roses

This cake has "Duff Roses" made of fondant and is covered in fondant.

Anticipating Spring

This cake has fondant daises and is covered in buttercream icing.
