Emily the Hairstyling Queen

This is a quick cake I put together to take to my Fave Hairstylist's birthday bash on Friday night! It is one layer vanilla one layer chocolate cake, with buttercream. The 'hair' is fondant and the scissors are gumpaste! It was a fun night, and a fun cake!!

Sarge from Cars

I made this for a 30 year-old! It is chocolate cake, buttercream and MMF. The details are MMF and a little gumpaste. I baked it, let it sit, put in supports and a cake board between the tiers....it still 'settled' and made a bulge! Urgh!! I guess that is what I get for sculpting with cake instead of marble!

Autumn birthdays cake

I made a little cake for my inlaws. They both celebrate birthdays within a month of each other, so we are having a family dinner....and CAKE!! It is chocolate with fudge frosting filling. The flowers were a new technique with royal icing. The leaves are fondant. I will let you know how it tastes!

Harley Gramma!

My Mom's birthday was this weekend, and the woman drives a purple Harley Davidson motorcycle...so, the obvious choice for a birthday cake.....!?!?
The cake is chocolate orange (like the Terry's chocolate oranges which she LOVES at Christmas!) with chocolate filling. A thin layer of buttercream is under the black MMF! The logo is MMF with hand-piped lettering. The flames are MMF as well.
It was a hit!

Fairies

This cake was made for one of my daughter's friends. Her 6th birthday was "Fairy" themed! I didn't have much notice, so I couldn't make the fairies, I bought a couple from Pixie Hollow!
The cake is rainbow, and the icing is all buttercream. The flowers are gum paste, with hand-piped vines.

Giraffe 1st birthday

This little guy is made of rice crispie, covered with modeling chocolate. The cake is marble, with buttercream filling. The cake is covered with MMF, and that is what the details are made from. There were also some chocolate balloons I made, to stick out around the giraffe, but I left them off for transport! This cake was picked up on the most humid day we have had in a while, and driven 45 minutes in an unair-conditioned car....I haven't heard if he made it or not!

Slippers for the kids

While in the NWT I learned how to bead and work with leather. I have made a number of different pairs of slippers over the years, here are a few examples.

This pair is the latest that Peekaboo got from me. Instead of beading, I embroidered the uppers with ballerinas for her 5th birthday. The pink fur? Well, what can I say really!?!




This pair of "Canvas-tops" were for my son. Instead of canvas, I cut the legs off of a little pair of jeans and used that as the upper. There was elastic in the cuffs of the jeans already, so the slippers ended up with elastic around the calf-which was GREAT!
