Little Lady Bug


11/05/2011 - I made this birthday cake for a very special 1 year old, my niece little Miss Maya. This is a 2 tier cake plus the lady bug on top. It is all edible with the exception of the bug's face, it's a ball of gumpaste. It is iced with butter cream icing and the decorated with fondant pieces. The bottom tier is 10" round and the top tier is 8" round. To make the lady bug body I used a 6" round cake pan and and cut into shape of the body.

Wedding Cakes - I hope to add more to my album. Let me know what you think.

My cousin's wedding cake. When I left it was all white, but when the florist came in and did their magic it turned into a BEAUTIFUL wedding cake.
Beach themed wedding cake. My father in law had a destination wedding in FL. When we all returned to Ohio they had an open house and this was the cake I made for them. The shells and topper are made out of chocolate.
My very first wedding cake. Small but very elegant.

I have only done a few but I really like the challenge, I just wish I could blink and the cake is transported to it's destination. That is the most stressful drive EVER! Please let me know what you think.

It has been a while since I have posted any pictures so I thought I better update this site with some cakes I have done in the past year. I promise to be better about adding new ones as I do them. Enjoy and let me know what you think. Here are some birthday cakes that are all with butter cream with some fondant accents.
