Simple Blue

This was a fun, quick cake to make.  A co-worker of my aunt's ordered it for me for her daughter's bridal shower.  Her wedding colours are royal blue/white/silver.  From what I have heard, they enjoyed the cake! 

Double layer white cake with buttercream filling and icing.

A First-Timer

I was so excited about making this wedding cake ever since the happy couple asked me to do it!  Besides the awesome couple I made it for (they are really good friends of mine here in Regina), this cake was a first-timer for me.  4 levels of cake, a fun buttercream icing, plus 3 layers of flowers!  It's the biggest cake I've ever made!  I think it turned out great, and everyone loved it - I got tons of comments after we had the chance to devour it. 

I transported it in 2 layers, and I had another really good friend help me with that. 

Here are the flavours:

Top - Marble with peanut butter filling

Second - Lemon with lemon curd filling

Third - Chocolate with chocolate mousse filling

Bottom - White with strawberry filling

Congrats to the happy couple!

The beautiful flowers I got to work with!

Ok, I lied.

I couldn't really wait to post the final project for this cake.  I know the bride and groom are at the hall now (or should be!!).  And just for the record, this bride and groom were pretty kick-bum!  SUCH a fun couple!
So...I like the cake, and I hope you guys like it, too!

Noah's Ark

This is probably one of the most fun cakes I've made yet.  This was for a friend's baby shower - pre-baby.  (The couple now have a cute baby boy!)  My mom actually helped me a TON with making the boards for all over the cake.  Each board was actually made individually.  Although this cake looks great, there are a few things I will do differently to make it better next time.  All of the animals were fun to make, and yes, I know the turtles are missing eyes.  I didn't forget; time was tight since I made this cake in the Hat and had to drive the cake 4 hours to the shower!  When I got to the shower, the hostess had decorated in a Noah's Ark theme!  Funny, because we had never discussed a theme for the party.  My cake matched the decorations perfectly! :)

This was layered white and red velvet cake with buttercream icing everywhere else.  Of course it was topped off with fondant! 

All done!

Tinkerbell

Here's the birthday cake I made for a co-worker's niece who was turning 2.  I was told the little girl really enjoyed it!  I had found a picture of another Tinkerbell cake, which I kind of based this cake off of.  I find I'm always looking at pictures of other cakes for ideas!
