Launch Party - Tiara Event Planning




Toyia Connor, my best friend for the last 19 years, recently held a launch party for her new business, Tiara Event Planning. I made this cake for her, using her favorite colors, red and yellow. The tiara is made from candy melts. The pillow is the actual cake, covered in fondant with a fondant rope border.


Black and Pink Flame Wedding Cake




This wedding cake was originally supposed to match the bride's dress. Unfortunately she wasn't able to get the dress she wanted. It's a three tier cake iced in black chocolate buttercream with pink fondant flames. The topper is a gumpaste monogram.

The Big One - 50th Birthday Cake




This cake was made for several birthdays that all fall on the same day. It's a two tier cake iced in buttercream with cheesecake filling. The bass on top is hand molded from rice krispy treats, covered in fondant and hand painted. All of the decorations are edible, except the fishing pole.

Asian Themed Birthday




This cake was made for an Asian themed birthday party and includes fondant cherry blossoms and bamboo. The fan and the text plate are candy melts. The text plate says Happy Birthday Summer in Japanese kanji. The "sushi" are rice krispy treats.

70th Birthday Party


This cake was a joint effort with me and my cousin. It's a three tier cake covered in fondant. There are edible images along the bottom tier. The second tier is quilted with silver dragees.

Mini Cheesecakes



These are mini cheesecakes I made for a get together at my house. They are topped with chocolate, caramel, strawberry and crushed heath bars. Of course the topping choices are endless. These would be nice at any event.

"Spaghetti" Cake


This was a little experiment for April Fools Day. It's a cake covered in buttercream strands of "spaghetti," the meatballs are home made chocolate truffles and the sauce is strawberry jam.

"Cheese"cake


I made this for a meeting at work. It's a "cheese"cake with fondant mice. It was an experiment that I had been wanting to try.
