Happy Birthday Hallie!


My sister-in-law turned 14 years old today!! She is a cheerleader for her school's football team so I made the cake with a sports theme.
It is a butter flavored cake with buttercream icing and covered in marshmallow fondant. I made some footballs, pom-poms, and batons to go around the cake.

Spiderman Protects the City

My son's birthday was this past week. We celebrated by going to Chuck-E-Cheese! We usually go there just as a family, but he had mentioned he would love a big party there. Even though we went to CEC, he said he wanted a spiderman cake. I did some browsing and saw a white fondant covered cake with spiderman crawling on a web over the top. I thought it would be cool to put a city on the side so spiderman could be doing what he does best-protecting the city!




Here is my handsome son!

"You're the reason for the tear drops on my guitar..."

All day long I have had Taylor Swift's song on my mind. It could be because I was working on a guitar cake. I guess it was fitting. I only know that one line so singing it over and over again began driving me crazy and I had to turn on some other songs to help my sanity. The funny thing was that as soon the music stopped, that song popped back into my head. I think I will have to listen to all of it so it won't be just a one liner in my head anymore.

This is yellow cake with buttercream icing covered in fondant. I painted the "wood finish" on with a paint brush using icing/food coloring.

Batter Up!

Present Cake with bow

The inside of this present is white cake with buttercream icing. It is covered in marshmallow fondant.

Every Heart Beats True for the Red, White, & Blue!

I had an order for some cupcakes that were to serve a dual purpose. They were going to celebrate Veteran's Day, but also her son's birthday. This is the first year her son has been in school on the day he was born-Veteran's Day. She also wanted me to put something on top of them for the kids to take with them. I figured a flag was the perfect thing.

Auburn Cake


For those of you who know me, you know making this cake was extremely hard for me. I am a huge Alabama fan and to top it all off, I was finishing the cake while we were losing the game to LSU. Thankfully we won! It made me feel a little better about making this. So for those of you who are Auburn fans, I am capable of making a cake for you. It will be hard, but I will be able to do it.

A Movie and Popcorn

This cake was so much fun to make!! The thing I enjoyed the most about this one is that it is my own design. When I was asked to make a cake with a "going to the movies" theme, I knew immediately what I wanted to do. There had to be a movie reel, some popcorn and some movie tickets on it. I tried to make the tickets look as close to a real ticket as possible. The cake is butter yellow with buttercream icing and marshmallow fondant.

Customer Comments: "Hey Cake Queen! My sister saw Chloe's cake and had a fit. ....Thanks again for Chloe's ~ It was more than I hoped." Lisa
