Fun Topsy Turvy 60th Birthday Cake

Click the picture to enlarge.

This was my first cake done for a stranger!  Ahhhhhh!  I received an e-mail from a very crazy man who is still madly in love with his 'wifey'.  He wanted to surprise her with a birthday cake while vacationing on Long Island.  He told me that his wife wasn't too happy about turning 60, so I decided to come up with a fun design, rather than an older feeling design.  The cake itself is super tiny, being that it was only for 2 people.  The cakes are an 8", 6" and 4" stacked.  Each layer was decorated differently, one with diamonds, one with zebra and one with stripes.  Roses, stars and diamonds were added to make it feel even younger.  This turned out to be one of my favorite cakes.

Oh, and you guys should check out the reviews for the Allegria hotel on TripAdvisor.com!  My customer was so happy with the cake, he even mentioned me in his hotel review!!!

For your entertainment, a picture of me with the cake!
Isn't it so cute?!

Purple Orchid Cake

You can't tell from the picture, but this cake was a monster and weighed more than me!  (I WISH!)  It's an 18", 15" and 12" cake stacked.  Right before the cake had to be done, I realized I didn't have enough Satin Ice fondant to cover the entire thing.  So, with a 40% coupon in hand, I ran to Michael's and bought Wilton's pre-made boxed fondant.  Boy was I wrong to do that.  Never, ever, will I buy that stuff again!  Anyway, even with the fondant disaster and some cracking fondant, the cake came out beautiful.  The hand painted orchids and simple branches added elegance to it.  Now, if only it weren't so heavy...

Simple Mardi Gras Birthday Cake

This was a pretty simple cake.  It's a 12" round cake, covered in purple fondant, and decorated with non-edible jewels and a crown.  Although I'm sure it was a pain in the butt to remove all the jewels before eating, the cake was actually pretty cute.

Neon Sweet 16 Cake

Before I begin, please take no notice to the cotton balls!  Haha, I forgot to remove them before taking pictures!


This cake was for a neon themed sweet 16.  I was told to have fun with it and do whatever I felt like doing, and this is what I came up with!  In the end, I didn't like the bottom tier, but I love the top two. Every tier is covered completely in sparkles.  Even though you can't tell from the pictures, the cake sparkled from every angle.  Everything was made with fondant, except for the bow.  What do you think?!
