Isaiah's 5th and Dominique's 8th Birthday Cake



This is a three tier mad hatter style cake. All three tiers are 8" rounds, covered in homemade fondant and topped with gumpaste candles. I also made the birthday kids individual chocolate cakes topped with strawberries.

April's 25th Birthday Cake

This is a two-tier stacked gifts cake. Vanilla cake with strawberry cheesecake mousse and fresh strawberry filling, iced with strawberry buttercream and covered with homemade strawberry fondant. I hate to say this - but it's probably the best fondant I've ever tasted!

I had made a beautiful gumpaste looped bow but on the night before it was due, our new cat found where I had hidden it and subsequently dropped it from the highest point in the house. Of course there was no time to recreate...so I had to improvise...

Taylor's 2nd Birthday Cake

This Spongebob Squarepants cake is a White Almond Sour Cream cake filled with strawberry mousse and fresh strawberries. The flavor of the mousse reminds me of Nestle strawberry milk. The pineapple is made from the same flavor cake.

Spongebob, Patrick and the number 2 at top are rice krispy treats covered with gumpaste and hand decorated. Gary is all gumpaste and hand decorated. The flower shapes are candy melts and the happy birthday sign and streamers are gumpaste. Spongebob is even holding two candles for the birthday boy!
