Cayson

Cayson is a beautiful little boy of a young couple from my church.  They recently had him Baptized and I made the cake for his large extended family. 

The cake is white with fresh strawberries and features a cross made of fondant and blue hydrangea flowers made of gumpaste.  

Jailyn

Jailyn is celebrating her first birthday.  

Her mom chose a princess theme and the cake was designed after the napkin used in the theme.  

The cake was half chocolate with a fudge filling and half white with fresh strawberries.  

The top surface was airbrushed with swirls and a large heart.  I then piped the birthday message.  The number one, crown and hearts were made of fondant in advance.  I then covered in entire surface with edible glitter.  Happy Birthday little one!

"Tom" is no longer 49

I have done this design several times.  Its always a hit for those celebrating those big birthdays when youth is a by-gone age.  

The cake is baked in a long loaf pan and the top half is cut away for the opening.  The open coffin lid is done in pastillage and the birth year passing is done in fondant as well as the pillow.  The coffin handles and lilly's are gumpaste. 

The first layer of cake is covered in a ruffled buttercream and the coffin is covered in a dark chocolate fondant. This will served 30 guest.  Happy 50 Birthday Tom.

Kennedy's 1st

Our youngest grandchild recently had her first birthday.  She is just a "baby doll" and her parents wanted a cake that was girly.

Girly, ribbon and bows.  I made six small pink 5 petal flowers and dusted the edges in  purple.  I also made a large "1" in purple and a pink butterfly.

The cake was a six inch white cake with fresh raspberry and covered in buttercream.  After crumb coating the surface, I marked the sides of the cake with a toothpick so that the ribbon would be balanced.  I piped the ribbon using a rose tip.  The top was  just one continuous chain of ribbon in buttercream.

This cake was transported to Tennessee and the edible items were added just before the guests arrived.

This is our girly girl with a fist full of sweetness.  Happy Birthday Sweetheart!
