70th Birthday Cake







70th birthday cake for my husband's uncle.  A hodge-podge of a few things about him: loves his recliner, collected records, loves the Red Sox, likes murder mysteries and loves gardening.  The pink ice skates refer to a story from his childhood regarding his sister's skates.  Chocolate fudge cake with ganache filling, fondant covered, fondant details.

I put up a cake for a charity auction, and this is what the winners chose, a baptism cake for the little girl's LDS baptism. Posted with the little girl's mother's permission. The picture is the only item that isn't edible. Flavors from top down: amaretto with almond buttercream filling, cheesecake flavored cake with raspberry cheese filling, vanilla with strawberry filling. Fondant covered, gelatin bubbles.  The bubbles were created from a tutorial at www.sugarartbytami.com

Last Minute Wedding

Last minute wedding cake made for a coworker of my husband.  Or, really, her stepdaughter.  Top tier is raspberry cake with white chocolate buttercream filling, bottom tier is white cake with raspberry filling.  Fondant covered and accents, real ribbon, fresh flowers.  Tough to see, but the bottom was piped in with light pink icing, like the last cake.
