Cup Cakes


Cup Cakes
I poured the cake batter directly into the cones and using a muffin pan to hold them and catch any drippings I baked them with the directions from the box. The cone doesn't change in color. You could add a frosting cherry or a real cherry on top for decoration. These do not store long as the cone absorbs the moisture from the cake batter.

Easter Cake




The little flowers are my new hobby. I watch tv and make hundreds of them. They are made with royal icing. Same with the flowers on the class cake.

Cake class cake


The cake is a bit silly but I was excited to learn the basket weave technique.

Doll Cake


I made this cake for a co-worker who is gluten free. I work in Wellness so I tried to go light on the frosting and use fruit. I baked the cake in a doll pan but didn't get the rise I was looking for with the gluten free recipe.

17th Birthday


The 17, large black dots and the B are made with gum paste. The cake was frosted with buttercream frosting and using a star tip with a black dot for the edging. I used a black ribbon with white polk a dots to finish off the bottom of both layers.

Sandcastle Cake


My son's first Birthday was a beach them so I made a sandcastle. The sand is simply crushed up graham crackers. I used a small amount of icing to hold the ice cream cones together.

Christmas Cake



This was so much fun to make. Everything is edible from the twizzler scarf to the jelly belly ornaments. The trees were made by frosting upside down ice cream cones and the snow is coconut.

Wedding Cake

I made this cake for my cousin's wedding. Bottom Layer is 12 inch and top is 9 inch round, double layer. Butter-cream frosting and tip #8 for the edge. The silver is a non-edible ribbon.
