Candy & Sweets Cake


 How cute is this cake?  This cake was for a little girl's 1st birthday.  This cake is my version of the Puerto Rican "wet" cake (soaked with a simple syrup flavored with brandy).  It is filled with almond buttercream.  The cake is covered in fondant and the border is piped using buttercream.



All the candy and sweet details are made with fondant and gum paste.  

The ice cream topper is completely edible.  The ice cream bowl is made out of gum paste.  The ice cream scoops are made out of rice krispies treats and then covered with fondant.  It is garnished with whipped cream, adorable cherries, hot fudge (all made out of fondant) and is topped off with chocolate sprinkles.

The chocolate truffle, the colorful lollipops and the chocolate bar are all hand made out of fondant.  The chocolate truffle is topped off with chocolate sprinkles.

Popcorn Cupcakes



Loved making these popcorn cupcakes that was for a carnival themed baby shower.  Half of the cupcakes were chocolate and the other half were vanilla cupcakes.  The cupcakes were frosted with vanilla buttercream.  I used mini marshmallows to make the popcorn and I colored it with edible yellow luster dust.

Guinness Beer & Golf Cake


This cake was designed with the birthday celebrant in mind, someone that loves Guinness beer and golf.  It is a chocolate cake filled with vanilla buttercream.  The cake is covered in fondant.  The Guinness Beer cup on top is also made out of cake.


The side of the cake is decorated with a black argyle pattern.  All the details such as the golf ball and the golf club are made out of fondant.  The grass is piped using green royal icing.
