Fire Truck Cake

2D Fire Truck Cake! I carved the truck from a 12x18 one layer cake...iced in buttercream and decorated with fondant accents.

My First Wilton Class =)

A year and a half after I started decorating cakes I thought it may be a good idea to take an actual class! I learned a lot of tips and tricks from Wilton course 1 and am already signed up for the next series. This is a picture of my final cake from course 1. Decorations are all buttercream.

Pink Birthday Cake

This was made for my niece's 5th birthday. She had a Barbie party, so I made her a tiered pink cake (covered in buttercream) with some green and purple accents. I got her a real Barbie and tied wooden dowels to her feet to use as a cake topper.

Pink Pirate Cake

Decorated this cake during a blackout! Pink buttercream with fondant and gumpaste accents. Poor picture quality because my camera died and there was no way to recharge during the power outage, so I had to use my camera phone.

St. Patricks' Day Cake

This was a two-occasion cake for St. Patrick's Day and a 50th birthday celebration. Found a neat way to represent both occasions on the cake! Covered in vanilla buttercream with fondant and gumpaste accents.

Dump Truck Cake

I feel like every time I complete a cake it becomes my new favorite. The same is true of my latest...this is a dump truck cake. The birthday boy specifically requested that it must be dumping at the top of the cake as well! The truck is made of out rice krispies treats, fondant and gumpaste. The cake is a yellow butter cake frosted in chocolate buttercream. The "sand" is brown sugar and the M&Ms were the special delivery.

Here is a close up of the dump truck...

LEGO Cake

For my 6 year old's birthday! LEGO cake is covered in fondant. The LEGO guy (made to be a redhead like the birthday boy) is made from rice krispies treats, fondant and gumpaste. The light saber is a wooden dowel covered in fondant and brushed with green luster dust.

To show the size of this cake, here's a picture of him blowing out the candles...
