Flowers and Hummingbird

Happy Birthday, Maw Maw! My husband's grandma celebrated a birthday on the 16th. She loves hummingbirds...since I was short on time, I used a faux hummingbird with fondant flowers on a 9" 2-layer cake.

Happy Anniversary, Dad and Mom!

My sweet parents celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary yesterday, August 31st. I made them this little 6 inch 2-layer cake. The buttercream is kinda sloppy (due to lack of time), but the love birds were supposed to be the center of attention anyway. I love you, Dad and Mom...thanks for modeling such a Godly marriage for us!

Elmo Birthday Cake

Here is Elmo's debut on my blog. Not as precise as I would have liked, but okay for a first try. It is a 10 inch 2-layer cake, iced in buttercream with fondant accents. Elmo is piped in buttercream as well. The customer also requested a matching smash cake for the birthday boy.

Giddyup, Cowboy!

This is a two-tier Western themed birthday cake. The bottom tier is an 8 inch square 2-layer cake, and the top tier is a 6 inch round 2-layer. They are both iced in buttercream with tons of fondant accents. The fence and grass is piped in buttercream. The bandana is fondant with details piped in royal icing. The figures were all made with the help of candy molds...I just pressed the marshmallow fondant in the greased candy mold, carefully pulled them out, touched them up, and then let them dry. The hay bale is a small rectangle of cake, crumb coated in buttercream, and covered in fondant. I cut very thin strips and "glued" them to the bale with a touch of water. Then I wrapped "straps" around to look like the hay was tied up. Oh, and I added a bit of silver pearl dust to the horseshoes and a bit of gold to the sheriff's badge. This cake was so fun to make! Yee haw!
