Boombox Cake


This was for a 40th birthday celebration.  Wife of celebrant said that they are having an 80's theme and gave me options of boombox, guitar, 80's themed cake. So I went ahead and made a boombox cake.

This is my first time making this design and also my first time using an edible silver spray.  I could say that I loved using the spray.  This seriously made me want to get an airbrush spray even more.  Very easy to color the entire cake as opposed to painting it silver.

Cake was mocha cake with mocha flavored swiss meringue buttercream as requested.

Hope the celebrant will like it.

Orange Flowerettes



Another cake I made for a friend's 40th birthday. Her favorite color is orange thus the color of the cake.  I always have a hard time thinking of a design on cake where the main color is orange. So I just opted to put little flowers all over the first tier almost covering it and then some on the bottom tier.

Cake was chocolate cake with cherry buttercream filling and frosted with vanilla buttercream.

Pink with Ruffles



I made this cake for a friend who celebrated her 40th Birthday. Had fun doing this but due to lack of time I opted to not do the ruffles on the bottom tier. I originally planned on putting ruffles on both tiers. Also used some pink dragees at the bottom tier and also as a buckle design on the border of the top tier.

Cake was mocha cake with mocha swiss meringue buttercream.

Pink Baptism Cake




Made this Baptism cake for a friend's baby girl. Mom gave me the freedom to design the cake. So I came up with this design.  I've always wanted to try doing a bow and finally had the chance to do it on this cake. Bow turned out great. Thanks to this tutorial I found online.. Fondant Loop Bow Tutorial

Cake was mocha cake with mocha swiss meringue buttercream, as requested by the mom. First tier I decorated with quilt design and small flowers accents. Top tier has pink and silver stripes with pink and silver ball border.
