Sailboat Smash Cake

This 6" smash cake was for Gavin's Sailboat themed first birthday party. His mom requested the cake be done in only red's, blue's and white! There are fondant sailboats going all around the cake with blue buttercream waves and a big fondant "one" on top.

Eagle Scout Cake

Last weekend I had the immense pleasure of not only making the cake for, but also attending, Cliffy's Eagle Scout Ceremony! I had a great time and can't wait to have a little Eagle Scout of my own one day ;)

The cake was 6" 9" and 12". Top tier- yellow cake with chocolate buttercream filling, buttercream frosting and covered in red fondant with stars imprinted all around. The middle layer was a chocolate chip cake (white cake with mini, semisweet, and dark chocolate chips baked in) with buttercream and fresh strawberry filling. And the bottom layer was a chocolate cake (4 layers!) with 2 layers of chocolate buttercream filling and one layer of buttercream. The badge, logo, and all other details are made of fondant. 

Patriotic Birthday Cake

This red, white and blue "patriotic" birthday cake was for "Grandpap Joe's" 90th Birthday Celebration at Mira Vista this weekend. The cake was a 4", 6", 8"- all spice cake with buttercream filling and layers of fresh strawberries and blueberry fillings to keep up with the red white and blue theme! All of the little fun details, stars, and "90" are made from fondant- and yes they are all edible, and that is edible glitter on the 90 aka "disco dust"! I love how this cake turned out, and hoping Grandpap Joe got a kick out of it too!!

Navy Cake

This cake was made for Bob, whose granddaughter Brigette is in the navy in Seattle. She runs the nuclear reactors that power the ship, U S S John C Stennis. It is a nuclear aircraft carrier, with a crew of 5,000. Brigette will be deploying to the far east for 8 months.

The cake is an 8" old fashioned sour cream cake with buttercream filling and frosting, covered in fondant. I have to give a major shoutout to my brother, Brian, who is home visiting for a while-- and boy did I put him to work-- he painted the aircraft carrier for me!! Oh did I mention, he's a veterinarian!??!? I know, I know- I wish he would just ditch that crappy career path and join me in my cake ventures!! The aircraft carrier was painted on gumpaste with food coloring.

Thank you to Brigette and everyone else serving in our military!!!!

Memorial Day Birthday Cake
