Wedding Cake Competition

  

At the end of March I competed in a wedding cake competition and attended a cake convention. I had a great time and learned a lot. My cake was nowhere near the top of the list for the best, but I enjoyed making it. I loved learning the flowers and enjoyed having to create my own cake out of specific guidelines. I was given a mock interview from a wedding couple and had to pick 4 things from it for my cake. The colors were ivory, navy blue, and kiwi green. The flowers were peonies, calla lilies, and orchids. The shape was not supposed to be round, so I did hexagon. The monogram was KKA. I really did learn a lot and I am so glad that I did this. I will definitely do it again in the future!

Ladybug Baby Shower

I really enjoyed making this ladybug cake for a wonderful friend.

I frosted 70 mini cupcakes for the shower.

A little Gnome and her garden

I was asked to create a cake for a gnome themed birthday party. This cake was so fun! I loved figuring out the "landscape" for this little cake.

Bakugan

I made this cake for my neighbor's 8th birthday. He said his favorite thing was Bakugan, so I created a Bakugan Ball birthday cake.

Rock n' Roll Birthday Party

I made this cake for a rock n' roll themed birthday party.

DC Modern Quilt Guild Fabric Party

I have a new favorite cake that I have made, and it is this one. I loved having the opportunity to create a quilt cake. I even had a dream about what it should look like. I loved adding all the detail and even enjoyed making the spools of thread and the needle.

Here is a picture of the quilt before I put it on the cake and before I added some of the highlights to the different "fabrics".The following pictures are of the cake all assembled and on site at the DC Modern Quilt Guild Fabric party. I know I already said this, but I loved doing this cake!!

Pegasus Unicorn Birthday Cake

My neighbor's daughter turned 6 earlier this week. Her request for a birthday cake was a Pegasus Unicorn. I will admit I was totally stumped by this request. So after looking at a lot of pictures of Pegasus Unicorns and horse/pegasus cakes I came up with this.
