Lord of the rings, Buzz Lightyear and Farm Crash

The vines have some part of the movie..don't know much about it!
I also hand wrote the elvish script on the gold ring, which is similar to the one in the movie!

The black banner with the "white hand of saruman"

To make vanilla cake more fun for kids, I like to color the cake!

Start of the buzz lightyear cake


My best friend, Kayla, and I did this one together

Her 'godson's' crash cake!

I made the little fondant pig

As well as the fondant "1" and we put a single candle down into it.

UGA Groom's Cake

This was the structure that my dad and I built for the cake!

After the cakes were stacked and "dirty iced"

Finished product! :)

Most of the family was UGA fan's and some were GT fans.  The bride thought it would be funny to have UGA eating a yellow jacket!





This was the setup at the wedding!

This was the first cake of this caliber that I have done so far! It was also the biggest cake I have ever made! This was almost as big as an actual bulldog!!

I was VERY nervous about doing this cake because I have never done anything like this before and it was for a wedding so I wanted everything to be PERFECT!

I was pleased with the outcome of the cake, there were a few fondant flaws that I wish I could have changed, and smoothed some edges out!

I learned a lot from this cake, and I hope I get a chance to do many more like this!! :)

Merry Christmas (cakes from 2009 and 2010)


This, along with the next three, cake was made for a few teachers.  They were "mini"

Bass Fisherman

This was a quick little cake, made for my brother (inlaw)!
He LOVES, LOVES fishing so we thought this would be his perfect cake!

The boat is cake, carved into a boat.
The little man, fishing rod, fish and grass are all made from gumpaste!



Girly Horse

This was for my little sister, the horse lover!

It's not as smooth as I would like it to be! 


Maternity Belly

The nursery was done in ladybugs, so that how they came up with wanting the cakes to revolve around ladybugs and their colors!




Gorey Halloween

This was made for a friend's halloween party!

They decorated their yard as a graveyard! :)

The tree on top wouldn't hold up like I wanted it to!



Decapitated head...



A heart and a brain
