Some of My Work

Sandcastle

Life can be a beach, especially when you are 3 and you have a beachy birthday theme.
This 3 layered sandcastle was a special request by the birthday girl.
Who knew it would be so much fun to eat sand?

Hand Painted Logo

For Adventurer Sabbath 2007 I had to paint the color unto the logo since the color didn't work out on the food safe paper. The cake was half and half chocolate & vanilla poured into one pan so they made a marble cake in the center.



Table decor was simple - tall vases with ivory roses and burgundy ribbon and wrapped utensils with a custom band.



Prayer bears were presented to the Adventurers for all their hard work. Each bear had a custom printed ribbon to commemorate the day.

Football Anyone

I had fun making this guy for our Superbowl Party. He's a pull apart cupcake base with buttercream frosting.

I didn't go with any of the team colors because it didn't matter to me who won or lost.

It will be fun working up additional characters on this base. Lesson learned - brush up on making faces!

2008 Asian Themed Co-ed Birthday

The asian themed lunch worked well for a shared birthday party for a 6 year old boy and a 2 year old girl who had the same birth date.

Lunch was a build your own, homemade, asian style menu of stir fry veggies, lo mein and fried rice with chicken or tofu to add in. Fried noodles, fortune cookies, sushi and oranges were also on the menu.

Goody bags / boxes for kids and adults included ginger cookies, sesame candies and preserved plums. Chop sticks for those game enough to try them and a Chinese calligraphy sheet to copy.

The kids chose their own themes for the cakes - Dora's Backpack for the 2-year old and an Ipod for the 6-year old.

Can you believe I forgot to take a close up picture before it was cut?!! Chocolate cake with cherry filling, frosted in lavender. The characters were done free hand and filled in with colored sugar.

The Ipod was a pineapple cake. The entire cake was covered in clear crystal sugar and the blue zones are colored sugar.

2008 Fruits of the Spirit

This cake featured the fruits of the spirit as the branches of the tree -

Love, Peace, Joy, Gentleness, Self Control, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Patience

The theme, Christian Women United in the Spirit, was lettered around the sides of the cake

2008 I Will Bee...

For Adventurer Sabbath the theme was "I Will Be... " so I made a 4 tier beehive cake. Each layer was a different flavor.

The bees are piped frosting with slivered almond wings and a chocolate chip head.
