Goodbye Texas, Hello Alaska!




This cake was made to say goodbye to our dear friends the McP's when they left Texas to be stationed in Ft. Richardson, Alaska with the Army. The cake was a round cake stacked with a dome cut at a slant with a rectangle on top for the glacier and small cake pieces for the mountains, all iced with buttercream. The sand is made of graham cracker crumbs and the trees of Airhead candies. The Alaska part was inpsired by the state seal of Alaska and the Texas portion of course by the state flag.

Cupcake Frames



For one of my sisters birthdays in High School I made cupcakes to take for her to share at lunch. To make it fun I created picture frames with the cupcakes to frame some great shots of us together.

Volleyball Cake


Keegan's passionate about many things, one of which is volleyball - so the first year we were married I made him this 3D volleyball cake with white icing and black ribbon, made complete with crumbled sugar cookies to look like sand.

Coca Cola Bear Cake



Mom is a Coke girl through and through so to celebrate her 50th birthday I hosted a 50’s theme party complete with Coca Cola Smiles! The cake was a Coca Cola Polar Bear holding his coveted Coke sitting proudly atop a 50’s record. It was made to feed 50 and we still had people wanting to lick the plate! It was a yellow cake iced with both regular buttercream icing and chocolate buttercream.

b-a-b-y Cake



For Baby Monnich the school hosted a shower with polka dots galore. This cake was made to match the napkins for the shower which spelled b-a-b-y across various texture themed backgrounds. The blue cakes are buttercream covered with quick pour fondant on yellow cake, the orange cakes are buttercream and vanilla icing on Devils Food Cake.

Baby Blue Lambs and Stars Cake





Baby Burdick’s parents chose a lamb and star theme to bring him comfort in his nursery so to celebrate the baby shower cake I made was blue with white stars, his name and a lamb in the middle.

Graduation Cupcakes



My Kindergarteners wanted to decorate for their graduation (the first of many I hope) with graduation caps which they were fascinated by! So to celebrate in their desired style I made these cupcake with rainbow colored tassels for their enjoyment along with a mini cake. The cupcakes were chocolate and yellow marble cake with chocolate icing, the mortar boards were made of chocolate covered graham crackers with Twizzler tassels anchored by M&Ms.

Little Einstein's Cakes






Little Einstein’s is popular these days with little ones so I have done two cakes of the magical rocket ship that transports the adventure seeking kids on the show. The first was for our God Son Isaiah when he turned one, the second for Kyle Hicks on his third Birthday. I wish I had found all the helpful ideas for the first one that spurred my imagination; I guess the popularity of this show has grown since I did Isaiah’s. The cake was iced with buttercream faux fondant, the wing tips were airheads, the rocket blast offs, the top antenna and the windows were also shaped airhead candies. The tunnels on the engines were mini oreos and the lights were mini marshmallows. Everything was edible and sugar filled – even the icing clouds surrounding the cake!

Patriotic Cakes



When Keegan worked at the Dwyer Group they did a big family Fourth of July Picnic every year. As part of the fun they had a cake decorating contest; these are two of the patriotic cakes I made. The first is a smiling Uncle Sam top hat iced with vanilla icing. The second one is an eagle head with feathers made of cut marshmallows and coco puffs.

His and Hers Wedding Cake



These cakes were only the second shaped cakes I made. They were for a couples shower honoring the upcoming wedding of our friends now Joel and Cassie Barret.
