Baby blue ruffle cake...

A baby blue ruffle cake for a laid back baby shower brunch...

Almond flavored white cake (the mom-to-be's favorite) filled and covered with vanilla Swiss buttercream.

Francesco Bernouli!

His mom told me that this was going to be his first "real" birthday party.  So, of course, the cake had to be fantastic!  Since the birthday boy was a Francesco fan, I made him a replica he could eat...

Vanilla cake covered in vanilla buttercream...

And rice crispy treat, hand painted Francesco revved up and ready to go!

Puppy!

For one amazing little boy who adores his dog...a chocolate lab puppy!

Vanilla cake covered in chocolate buttercream with modeling chocolate accents...

He's ready to play and promises he won't make a mess!

Sweet 16!

My delightful, beautiful and talented niece is a massive Tim Burton fan.  

Her 16th birthday cake could be nothing short of fabulous...

Chocolate fudge cake filled with white chocolate custard and covered with cooked vanilla buttercream.

Black modeling chocolate ribbon roses, stripes and a mended gumpaste heart...

Edward Scissorhands himself would have been delighted!

Sleeping Beauty!

When my own daughter very specifically requested a Sleeping Beauty cake with a crown...

that's exactly what she's going to get!

Vanilla cake covered in vanilla Swiss buttercream, filled with white chocolate custard.

"Skirt" is modeling chocolate and the crown is hand painted gumpaste.

"Eye" see you!

My son requested a bleeding giant eyeball cake for their Halloween party. 

I was happy to oblige!

Chocolate fudge cake filled with strawberry sauce "blood".

Surrounding "brain" cupcakes were iced with brown sugar swiss buttercream,

Unfortunately, the cake was too cold for the "blood" to really ooze...but it still tasted amazing!

Ambulance cake!

Six layers of chocolate fudge cake can not go wrong!

The birthday boy requested an ambulance...his previous two cakes have been a firetruck and police cars. So this one had to be epic! 

Hand painted gumpaste sheets covered the vanilla buttercream...

The cab was molded out of rice crispy treats and covered with gumpaste.

Another 40th celebration!

The request was for a yellow Camaro covered in the birthday girl's favorite things!

They also requested carrot cake which I refuse to punish myself by attempting to carve it, so the compromise was a cake topper!

The car is molded out of rice crispy treats, covered in white chocolate and gumpaste and handpainted.

Setting atop a cream cheese frosted carrot cake filled with white chocolate custard.

What a way to celebrate turning 40!

Zombie!

A very chocolaty chocolate zombie cake for my nephew's 12th birthday.  

His request...how could I say "no"?!

Chocolate fudge cake filled and covered with chocolate ganache..

Dark chocolate coffin top held in to place with gumpaste "nails"...

Braaaaiiinnnnsss....

This is one zombie that didn't survive to terrorize a village!
