Details from a bridal shower cake.

Happy 1st Birthday Reid! The little slugger got this half vanilla and half chocolate cake with chocolate chip filling for his party. The Phanatic was there to send his best wishes!

This party was at a tea room so naturally a teapot seemed like a good idea for the cake. The birthday girl was very pleased. She came back to the bakery the following day to thank me!

Pup-cups!

Ariel is the most mischievous of all the princesses and my personal favorite!

Horses and princesses. They can be frightening words to a decorator! Although the concept seems simple and something a decorator would do on a regular basis, they are quite challenging. If you make the eyes on a princess just a bit too close they can look cross eyed. If you make a horses legs a little too short it could pass for a dog (OH those long legs!) Or if the ears are too big, it looks like a Donkey!! The small details can make or break a cake.

A "Car nut" and a dog lover. This cake was made for a 40th birthday party. A silver 1966 Mustang and a Rottweiler was the request. The birthday boy was impressed which made me happy. There are a lot of details that go into a front end of a car like that! (My husband gave me some tips). The car was made completely out of buttercream and the dog was sculpted out of fondant.
