Monster's Inc.




Does it get any cuter than Mike Wycowski (spelling?) from Monsters Inc. Probably the only thing cuter than Mike is the one-year-old whose mom requested this cake.

The Zombie Cake




This cake was for a five-year-old who requested a zombie getting hit by a car. That sounded a bit gruesome so this is what I came up with. Kaden and his dad are into cars and even have a model of the race car they have parked in their garage. I borrowed the model and made a car from fondant to match it. The haunted racetrack was inspired by that fact that his birthday is on halloween!

The Pumkin Patch


Besides being a cool pumpkin, this cake is also vegan.

Coloring Page Cake





My two-year-old loves to color on anything, walls, books, herself and now that list includes cakes. Inspired by her love to draw I left the fondant on her birthday cake white and bought food coloring markers for her to color it in herself. Everyone that came to her party got to color and sign the cake as well.

The Red Ripe Strawberry




I love themed cakes!! This was for my son's fourth birthday, the party was based on his favorite children's book "The Little Mouse, The Red Ripe Strawberry, and The Big Hungry Bear."

Flower Pot Cake



This flower pot cake was for my mother-in-law who loves gardening and the color purple. I got the idea from a Williams Sonoma magazine. Please note, this is not a cake baked in a terracotta pot, the pot is the cake!

1920's Peacock Cake





This cake was for a 1920's themed birthday party. They asked for a cake with peacock feathers so I bought a real feather from the craft store and tried to make my fondant look just like it.

Turkey Cake



Gobble gobble. This cake was quite a hit at Thanksgiving dinner and best of all there was no giblets to deal with just some super yummy carrot cake!

Figurine Cake



Figurines are probably my favorite thing to do with fondant. This one was made to look just like the birthday girl. So fun.

Giant Cupcake


Personally, I am all about the fondant. But fondant isn't really practical on a cake that you expect your one-year-old to dig into. This cupcake is covered in buttercream but made to look like fondant.

Tractor Cake


This tractor cake was for my son's third birthday. If you have a theme it is fun to incorporate toys onto the cake that your child can use afterwards. Ollie still talks about this cake.
