My moms 60th Birthday

This was for my moms birthday a couple weeks ago. She requested Dark Chocolate cake with salted caramel and cashew filling. The "C" with the crystals on top she picked out about a year ago and told me..."I want this for my birthday cake!". It is perfect for her as everything she owns sparkles in some way or another. The cake was iced in buttercream and airbrushed. The fondant stripes and bow was painted with a vodka and sparkle dust combo. The pearls in the center of each flower were also covered in sparkles. It was a great addition to the party we had with our closest friends and family.

Halloween Cake

I used a cake from cakecentral as inspiration for this cake. The cake was pumpkin spice with a cinnamon cream cheese filling. The cake was iced in buttercream and the spider was made of chocolate fondant. I learned with this cake that I should have made the spider in advance so the legs would stand up better. I was in a hurry to have this for the Halloween potluck at work and whipped the cake out the night before. Our potlucks are always a good excuse for me to try a cake idea I have been saving.
