Raban Wedding Cakes





I truly felt privileged to make these cakes for the Raban's double reception. I also felt stressed, very stressed! Two very different wedding cakes in one week! It weighed on me for months, but I'm so glad they trusted me with these! I had so much fun making them, and loved them both! So elegant and so fun! It was a great experience! Thank you Julie and Trett, Randall and Jessica, (and Sharon!!)!

Simplicity



I loved making this tiny wedding cake! It was to be for the bride and groom to cut into, since the big fancy cake was artificial. They wanted a simple white cake with a black band on the bottom--but I couldn't resist adding a splash of color with the flower, and fortunately they let me put it on! Thank you Herrings!

Princess Peach Birthday Cake


So Eliza wanted a Princess Peach birthday cake this year. Easy, right? No! I had a heck of a time with this gumpaste Peach! But she was happy, and that's what really matters (right?). The crown was fun and held up, and I used store-bought frosting (which is a bit rough) so my allergic child could eat it too.

Bobpy's Birthday Cake



Okay, so the top of this (Jem from Jem and the Hollograms--my sister and my favorite 80's cartoon) cracks me up! It was supposed to look cool! Anyway, I won't be upset if if ends up on Cake Wrecks (in fact, I may submit it myself!). I thought the rest of it was fun...especially doing the splatter paint icing. Love you sis!
