Penguin Love

 This fun cake was for my friend Wendy's wedding.  Her colors were lime green (my favorite color) and black.  This was such a fun cake and I love that she wanted black snow flakes!

 Wendy was so cute and made these awesome penguins for her cake topper.  Love it!!! 

 It was crazy getting there, it was a blizzard and I was so happy that the cake made it there in one piece.  Also very thankful for my cake stand that keeps it sturdy!  The reception was beautiful and it was all about them, very sweet. 
Here's the happy couple, sorry it took me so long Wendy!  And I loved that he had penguin tails on his tux!  Perfect.  I loved doing this cake and I loved seeing how happy they were.

Whitney's Sweet 16

 This cake was for a Sweet 16 Birthday for Whitney.  I had so much fun making it because I learned how to do zebra print and I got to work with black fondant!  So fun!  I love they ideas she had and had a great time taking those ideas and making a cake just for her. 
It was a Neopolitan cake, Vanilla with strawberry cream cheese frosting on the bottom, chocolate with cream cheese in the middle, and strawberry cake with chocolate cream cheese on the top.  I loved the jewels and the W on the top.  Happy Birthday Whitney!

Nate and Shantelle's Wedding Cake

 This was the cake I made for my brother and sister-in-law's wedding.  I had so much fun making this cake.  They wanted a fun party cake and that's what they got.
 The tiers were all different sizes and heights.  The balls in between the layers are styrofoam painted with food gel. 
 This cake was mostly cereal treats because they didn't want to serve it so just the bottom was cake so they could cut it for pictures. 
I loved all the different ribbon, so fun!  Sorry it took me so long to put it up here, their wedding was last July, but I had to get the pictures from my parents computer.  Haha better late than never.

Hawaii 5-0

 This cake was for my Aunt's 50th Birthday party.
 I made the seashells and lei out of gumpaste.

 Some more seashells.
 Unfortunately, the drive to Bear Lake, (2.5 hours away) proved difficult for the cake to handle.
We had a blast and the chocolate fudge cake with chocolate ganache was a major hit!  Thanks for the chance to make this cake!

Dallin's First Birthday

This cake was for my good friend Ashley's baby boy's first birthday.  He is such a cutie!
 This is my first time carving cake because I didn't have a dome shaped pan, not amazing, but it was a great learning experience and it was really fun.
 Dallin loves dogs so Ashley asked for a doggie cake.
 The tail kept wanting to not be a tail, even with toothpicks holding it up haha.
 I thought his name on the collar would be cute
Happy first birthday Dallin!

Palmer's Party

 I made this cake for a friend who wanted to surprise her husband with a blue guitar cake.  It was so fun!
 I put his name instead of a brand.  It is covered in fondant and then I painted it with pearl dust.
 Palmer excited about his cake at his surprise party.
Hope you had a great one Palmer, and thanks Camille for letting me do this cake for you guys!  I had a great time :D

Birthday fun

 This cake was for a friend's little sister's birthday.  Their wedding dinner was on her birthday and they wanted to surprise her.
 I had so much fun with this cake because it is different from anything else I have done so far.  I got to use the cute wires too, it was great!
I painted each color with pearl dust so that it would shimmer in the light, although I don't know if you can tell in this picture.

A view of my salt and pepper shakers...And there were white pearls around the bottom of each tier.  It was red velvet with this amazing new cream cheese frosting recipe I found.  They loved it and it made me so happy!  Thanks Allie and Chris for letting me do this cake for you!
