3 Cakes in One


This cake was for Dale's department's monthly birthday cake. It was 3 birthdays in one and Dale requested 3 different cakes put together as one.

Cake 1: Raspberry cake filled with cream cheese icing and raspberry jam. Decorated with daisies

Cake 2: Cookies n' Cream cake filled with "oreo cookie center" icing. Decorated with the Autobot Transformer logo.

Cake 3: A new chocolate cake recipe filled with chocolate ganache filling. Decorated with the Green Lantern logo.

The whole cake was placed together then iced with a vanilla buttercream icing.

Big Comfy Cake II

For the 2nd time I've been asked to re-create a cake. You can see the building of the last Big Comfy Cake here. Since I had built the couch before, I won't bore you with additional pictures as I built it exactly the same. I did a couple of minor details differently though.



As you can see, the doilies on the couch are slightly different than last time. And to save on time I covered the cake board with foil this time instead of fondant. The dolls were also different. I made Loonette standing. I was going to make her holding Molly, but it didn't work out as planned. So Loonette is standing and Molly is sitting. And this time I took pictures of the construction of the dolls. My husband and several others found it slightly creepy...

Here are some completed pieces drying separately


Here is the completed Molly:



Here is the completed Loonette:



I love how this picture turned out!

Canucks Cake




I made this cake for my buddy Sven's birthday. He loves the Canucks and loves carrot cake. So this is a 3 layer, 8" round carrot cake with gobs of cream cheese icing. Even the logo and border are cream cheese icing

Football Cake

Some friends of ours (Derek and Tracie) have a son (Isaac) with a birthday this week. His party is today so they asked for a football cake. So this is what I came up with.

Their other son Sam was the recipient of the "Super 6" cake featured earlier in this blog.

Harley Davidson Cake #2

For the first time I have re-created a cake. It was my father-in-law's birthday on Halloween and for the family get-together on Saturday, I made him the Harley cake since he loves Harleys.
