Cheesecake

My husband loves cheese so he got a cheesecake for his birthday.

Would you believe he doesn't like desserts though?? So he never had a bite. Don't worry I ate his piece. It was coconut flavoured cake Pina Colada Buttercream....Yummers!!!! This cake will always make me smile because my 5 year old son had to keep it a secret for 3 months until we made it. He was ready to pop by Nov. 14 - Happy Birthday Dad!

Monster pops for Halloween

For the school kids.


These were for my two boys to take for there Halloween Parties. Our madness behind monsters was that they could scare away the "sugar bugs". They also co-ordinated with the labels on the toothbrushes they gave to each class mate. Yes I'm in dental. These are upside down mini cupcakes held on the coloured popsicle stick by melted choc. and then iced with grass tip. The eyes and mouth are fondant. I made a teacher version that was a double high cupcake. My wrist was shot after piping 50 of these....worth it though. The monster were obvious too friendly as my boys both had cavities in November :(

Cowgirl themed party

This was a fun cake with alot of detail. It was very vanilla all through. I covered it with cowhide fondant and then drapped with a girly bandanna. The bandanna is purple tinted fondant airbrushed with a paisley stencil which was custom made by a good friend. All the toppers are modeling chocolate. I worked 1 week in advance to give everything a good chance to harden. Apparently this cowgirl did not like cake but couldn't resist this one and ate a whole piece on her birthday. That makes it worth it for me!
Happy Birthday Charlie!


Cow Hide fondant

Purple fondant that is airbrushed with a darker purple.  I used a stencil for this.  Once draped on the cake it looked real.
