Bapstism / 1st Birthday Cake


A friend of mine was having a combined baptism / 1st birthday for her beautiful daughter so I had a chance to make a "2 in 1" cake.....:-).  The little blocks were actually LCM bars cut into squares and covered in fondant icing.  The little butterflies were cut out of fondant icing using a cutter and then folded in half and left to harden, after which I could place them on the cake without worrying about the wings "drooping".  The butterfly antennae were made of little wires that had tiny crystals on the ends.....I just cut them to size (they were not edible).

Soccer Ball Cake v2


With the success of my first soccer ball cake, I had a request to make another smaller version.  This time I bought a smaller set of tins that I used to make the two halves of the ball which I then joined together using butter cream icing.  The shapes on the cake are fondant icing. It was very hard to get the shapes to match.  The little soccer star for whom the cake was for loved it.....so I was happy.

Susie And Craigs Wedding Cake



My first post in a while, but I think it's worth the wait.  My sister was married recently and I was able to make her wedding cake for her.  I was very happy with the outcome and my sister loved it.
