Shaped cakes are always fun. I get to practice my drawing skills. I usually have to hand draw the template and then "color" the cake in.
This playful little t-rex was just what my youngest asked for.

Stitch
I was happy with the result and my step-daughter loved it.
Grease Monkey
I had a child ask for a mechanic cake. Simply because their daddy is a mechanic and their daddy is their hero.
So we made a topsy Turvey cake with some washed lego wheels and screw drivers with grease dripping down the cake (chocolate ganache).
Football
My step-son is starting to get into football, so it made sense to make football shaped cakes. The cakes were chocolate cake with chocolate fudge frosting. The grass is coconut with green food coloring.

Quinceanera
This is the biggest cake I have made in a long time. It was so stressful, and it didn't help that someone broke the power lines down the road with a tree. I was without power for four hours and every minutes counted on this cake. The bottom tier is vanilla with strawberry filling. It has fiver layers of cake. The middle tier was red velvet and had six layers of cake. The top tier was marble with chocolate mousse. It was a fun cake to make but so stressful.

Pink Ombre Cake
My little Chloe wanted a pink cake for her birthday. That was her only request so I had to figure out how to make a pink cake but still have it be cute.

8th Birthday
In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, when you turn 8 you are baptized. In April of 2017 my sweet daughter was able to be baptized and I was lucky enough to get time to make her a cake. We chose this layered ruffle look with handmade sugar roses and the CTR design on the top (CTR stands for "Choose the Right"). She isn't a super girly girl and loves the color green. The cake was vanilla flavored with a strawberry filling. Her favorite!

Frozen Birthday Cake
Just like every child in the World right now, my daughter loves Frozen. So what better type of cake to do then a frozen cake.
This cake was a white almond cake with strawberry danish dessert and fresh strawberries for the filling. Each level has four layers to make it extra tall.
The figurines are the storybook collection found at Toys R Us. I didn't want to even try to attempt to make them out of gum paste. Plus I no longer live close to a store that would carry those items. The closest joanns and micheals is an hour away.
The frosting is Vanilla buttercream with a white chocolate ganache drizzled over top.
The Castle, Trees and the Snowflakes are made out of white chocolate.

Baptism birthday cake
My son turned 8. In our religion when you turn 8 you are baptized. So for his birthday/baptism we made a CTR cake. The CTR stands for Choose the Right.

Lorax cake
The trees are hand cut out of sugar sheets, and the lorax is handmade from fondant. Everything on the cake is edible except for the cake wires.

Cowboy Spider Man
My son turned 7 and this is what he requested. It's a once in a lifetime cake and you'll probably never see it again. The cake is a full sheet cake. It's vanilla cake. The filling was chocolate ganache, strawberries and whipping cream. The frosting was just normal vanilla buttercream. The spider man is hand frosted. It's not a edible print out or anything like that.
