Surfs Up!

This four layer cake had alternating layers of white cake. Two were tinted a green-blue color and the other two I poked with holes and poured blue raspberry jell-o over the top. The result: a super moist cake that looks really cool!

This is the first time I used a whipped topping to decorate, but I think the wave effect turned out pretty good. A whipped topping is also the perfect compliment to a jell-o cake.

Mother's Day Cake

I decided to try using fresh flowers on this simple Mother's Day cake.

5" Pink Daisy Birthday Cake

I made this chocolate raspberry cake with chocolate fudge frosting and fondant daisy accents for my Mom's Birthday

Super Mario Bros.

I grew up playing Super Mario Bros. so I was really excited to make this cake. This was my first attempt at using fondant to cover a cake, so I decided to just experiment on the second tier.

Beatles Ice Cream Cake

This cake was made for my Niece. For her 4th Birthday she wanted a Yellow Submarine Party. She requested chocolate cake, chocolate ice cream, and chocolate frosting. The chocolate frosting was really hard to get smooth since it was butter based--as soon as it touched the frozen cake it was almost impossible to work with.

10th Anniversary Cake

Mickey Mouse Birthday Cake

I made this one for my Niece's 4th Birthday. This was my first Ice Cream Cake. It was also my first time working with fondant accents.

Holiday Cake

I can't take all the credit for this one, I purchased these pre-made poinsettias and holly leaves from Spun Sugar, a local supply shop in Berkeley.

Carrot Cake

This was my first carrot cake and the first time I attempted to use cream cheese frosting. Next time I will be more careful with the borders...the cream cheese frosting wanted to slip off the edge!

Coconut Lemon Birthday Cake

Edible Images

This was my first experience with edible ink/paper. I ordered this image online and was pretty happy with the result. Next time I do this I will use a different icing since this modified buttercream didn't allow the edges of the paper to vanish.

Pokemon Cake

My Little Pony Cake

Guitar Cake

I made this cake during the second week of the beginning cake class for my boyfriend's son's 9th birthday.
