A sweet friend of mine asked me to make a cake for her daughters combined birthday party at a local gymnastics center. She was doing a red, white, and blue theme and wanted two fondant girls for her beautiful daughters. These were my first attempt at fondant figures. I think they turned out pretty well but the faces were a little more masculine than I really wanted but they were still cute and I love their little bobs. I had to add the bows on their heads because they always wear those big bows I love on little girls. I thought the big bow on the cake made it much more girly.

First Topsy Turvy Cake
A friend asked me to create a topsy turvy cake for a combined birthday party for her daughter and son. I totally had a love-hate relationship with this cake! I had to do it twice and it was a mess!!!! You have to do it to learn and a learning experience it was. I thought it turned out super cute and pretty close the vision I had in my head. I got to see the reaction of the birthday girl when meeting the mom for pickup of the cake. She loved it! I don't usually get to see the reaction of the person the cake is for, so I really enjoyed it! Each tier is 3 layers with 2 white almond layers and a middle chocolate layer. It is icing in butter cream with fondant accents.

Sports ball cake
This was for a little guy who loves balls. His mom wanted something a little more youthful since he was turning two. I loved the bright colors. The balls are all hand drawn with butter cream.
Handy Manny Cake
A friend asked for a Handy Manny cake for her son's 4th birthday. He is a butter cream transfer and the tools are the birthday boy's toys from his Handy Manny doll.
