Phineas and Ferb cake

This cake was for my nephew. I love him, but I wish he wasn't born in the middle of summer! It was so hot and humid in my house that my tree kept falling apart. I had to fix it several times. It did finally hold.. just leaning a little bit. The cake is root beer.. yes I said root beer! It definitely tasted like root beer. Everyone at the party LOVED it, but personally I thought it was a little weird.. lol

Key lime cake

Nothing fancy.. just a key lime cake with whipped cream cheese frosting (with a hint of lime). I thought this cake was very tasty and I'm not even a big key lime pie fan.

Baby shower cake

Vanilla cake with layers of strawberry and cream cheese filling.

Flag cupcake display

I had to do this again for the 4th of July this year. It is so perfect for a 4th of July party. This year I made basic vanilla and chocolate cupcakes with buttercream frosting. Stars are.. yet again white chocolate.

Ocean cake

Vanilla cake with a simple strawberry filling. Everything on this cake is edible. Everything is made out of fondant expect the shells which are made out of chocolate.

Hello kitty

This cake was for my cute little niece. I was going to do a strawberry cake with the ever-so-popular whipped cream cheese filling, but I ran out of strawberries. So I threw in some "mixed" berries that I had and it turned out really good! I guess you could call this a mixed berry cake :-)

Cookie monster cupcakes

So I saw these cute cupcakes awhile back and have been wanting to try to make them. I finally had an opportunity so I gave it a go. They turned out awesome! Vanilla cake (that I dyed blue) with buttercream frosting. Some blue coconut to give him that furry look and it wouldn't be cookie monster without a cookie in his mouth!

Star cake

Vanilla cake with whipped cream cheese filling. This was for my sister-in-law. Apparently her friends call her Homie J.. lol.

Topsy turvy cake

My first topsy turvy cake. I think it turned out pretty good. Next time I'll add another layer of cake to each of the tiers to make it a little taller. Vanilla cake.

Cat cake

The pillow is cake. It's vanilla with whipped cream cheese filling. The cat is made out of rice krispie treats covered in fondant and painted to look like a cat.

Angry Birds cake

Everything on this cake is edible. I made all the decorations out of fondant. The cake is blueberry with buttercream. It tasted like a blueberry muffin to me.
