LIGHTNING MCQUEEN & MATER!

For an adorable little boys birthday party, his mom, a coworker of mine requested a Disney Cars* Themed birthday cake! I had tons of inspiration from the movie and knowing that his favorite character from the movie is Tow Truck Mater, I designed &created a cake that had BOTH fantastic elements from the movie! Half Radiator Springs inspired & Half Race Car inspired, Oscar was beyond thrilled with his special birthday cake decked out with tire stacks, black and white checkers, flourescent orange cones, desert sand and cacti! Happy 4th Birthday Oscar :] I LOVED making your birthday cake!!

GOUDA &PROVOLONE

My coworker Edi &his ADORABLE girlfriend have cheese nicknames for eachother! :] Too cute! Part of his Valentine's Day gift to her was one of my special custom cakes...And this cake HAD to have their 'nicknames' on it! [&what goes better with cheese than wine??] A custom made wine bottle with a special label 'E <3 S' for 'Edi Hearts Sam' and the date they started dating emblemed on the back of the bottle, and of course a piece each of Gouda & Provolone, paired with a simple white design and ribbon! They were so excited when they saw it, I couldn't be happier!

CAR INSPIRED LOVIN'

A coworker and good friend of mine came to me asking to make something special to give to his girlfriend for Valentine's Day. We talked over some ideas and one thing that stuck out to me was their car club ! It's something that him and his girlfriend Lorena both share and love. I knew I had to incorporate it into their cake, and it ended up turning into their topper! The cake was decked out in red, pink &white; XOXO's and a beautiful soft pink flower sprayed with edible pearl shimmer! The car was designed out of rice Krispy treats making it easily manageable and light on top of the cake. And in the end, both Omar &Lorena were thrilled with their special cake creation!

CHEERS TO US!

A Celebration Cake! A request from one of my coworkers, he was looking for a small cake in celebration of him and his gf's month-a-versary! A Black and White damask design covered the cake [thankk you cricut !! So In Love!] Then to top off the cake with red &blue tinted shot glass toppers! I had no idea at first how I was going to accomplish this and make it edible but then found some shot glass mold ice trays & a glass sugar recipe! *WA-LA* amazing! They added the PERFECT pop of color onto the cake ! The sugar glass was soo easy to make & was thrilled I could create exactly what he wanted for his cake.

ALL ABOUT DAISIES

A last minute request from two very close friends, Nancy &Raoul, this was by FAR the quickest cake I've ever done! Thankfully the design they wanted for our friend Megan's surprise cake was simplistic..&quick! The cake was to be presented at dinner and the inspiration was daisies, Megans favorite flower.  Golden yellow &white were the perfect colors to go along with theme, adorned with yellow daisies &finally a dual-layer large 'M' Monogram for 'Megan' & the cake was complete! Happy Birthday Megan!
