Kaelin's Coconut Cake




This cake was a surprise cake for my daughter's 10th birthday. The party didn't have a theme, but we were heading to American Girl Place in New York with her Auntie in few weeks, so that's where coconut came from. She loved the cake, and the girls had a blast with our party activity...we decorated cupcakes using my tips. The frosting was taller than the cupcakes!

Greg and Maria's Bridal Shower Fiesta Cake


This cake was created for my brother-in-law and his soon to be wife for their Bridal shower fiesta. This was the biggest cake I had ever made, and my first time working with fondant. The bottom tier was gold with buttercream and strawberries (close to what their wedding cake will be) and the top tier was chocolate with a buttercream and chocolate ganache filling (so yummy!) The sombrero and chili peppers were hand made from fondant, and the candles were purchased. I was worried about the cake making it there in one piece, so I rode criss-cross applesauce on the floor in the back of the mini-van with it. The cake survived the journey, and was enjoyed by all!
