Baby Madeleine

8"-10"
I made this cake a couple of months ago and I just realized that I never posted it on here! I don't know how I missed it! Anyway, the request was for a cake similar to a Valentine's Day cake that I made for my family a couple of years ago but to change the colors and make it look like a baby shower cake. So this is what I came up with! You can see the cake that she wanted me to use for inspiration here. The Valentine's cake was the first open lid gift box cake that I had made and it had waaaaaay too much "tissue paper" on it! So I toned it way down for this cake and I liked it much better. =)

Tiny Cakes for Brooke & Chance


These cakes are both 3"-4". I call them my "super minis" since I have two other cake sizes that I call minis as well. They were made as a surprise for my mom's best friend's daughter and grandson for their birthdays. Here is a size comparison picture so you can see how small they are.

My teeny tiny little ducky...
And her is the handsome Mr. Chance with his cake...=)

Reagan & Ryan

6"-8"
An under the water cake for Reagan and her baby brother Ryan. =)

Desirae's 14th Birthday

3"-4"-6"
Desirae wanted her cake to have leopard print and a bow.  This was a fun little cake to make. It's about the same size as a 2 liter soda bottle. =)
My sister's birthday cake was this same size and I have a picture for size comparison that you can see here.

Karina

8"-10"
Karina's mom said that she loves Batman! It was only fitting that she got a Batman birthday cake! =)

Thiago's 1st Birthday

6"-8"
This cake is based on a Brazilian children's character named Galinha Pintadinha. Thiago's mom sent me a picture of a cake that she wanted replicated so that's what I did. =)

Lyla Turns 1

8"
Minnie Mouse cake for Lyla. =)
 

Baby Liam

6"-8"-10"
I made a two tier cake similar to this one a while back and it was requested as a three tier this time. I added palm trees and vines and jungle leaves to this one. =)


Valerie's 1st Birthday

6"-8"-10"
So...I usually don't like when I have to make people figures out of fondant because I never like the way they turn out. This is the first time that I've made one that I loved! I made her tutu out of tulle and it was so teeny tiny! Hopefully my next people figures will turn out cute too. =)

Tiffany's 1st Birthday

 

8"-10"-12"
This cake was made for an adorable little girl named Tiffany. We delivered the cake an hour away and I got to use my Cake Safe for the first time. I LOVE my Cake Safe! It made my delivery stress free! =) This is my mom and I about to load the cake into the car...
 


Welcome Baby Lauren

4"-6"-8"
This cake was for a baby shower with a theme of butterflies and flowers. =)

Mini Valentine's Day Cakes


3"-4"
I made these fun little cakes for my mom, her best friend and 2 of my sisters for Valentine's Day. They were so tiny and I loved decorating them so much! I picked a color scheme and wanted them to look like they were sort of a "set" of cakes that you would buy together! Haha
Here is a picture that shows just how small the cakes were...
I put them next to a 26 oz can of salt for comparison. If you were to take away the topper and the cake base, they would be the same height as the salt can. =)
All 4 cakes are white chocolate macadamia nut cake with white chocolate buttercream filling. I chose that flavor because last year for our summer vacation, I made white chocolate macadamia nut cupcakes with the white chocolate frosting and they were a big hit with my family. =)

Nayleen's Cinderella Cake

4"-6"-8"
Nayleen's mom sent me a picture of a cake that she liked and wanted me to make one like it. The cake in the picture was a 2 tier cake so I added the middle tier for more servings. I attempted to make fondant swags but those were more complicated than I imagined! So I figured out a much simpler way to make them using my clay extruder.


Abby Turns 1

4"-6"-8"
Abby's mom wanted me to recreate a cake that I had made a while back. =)


Leah's Hello Kitty Cake

4"-6"
A mini 2 tiered Hello Kitty cake for Leah. Her mom sent me pics of the party plates that they would be using so that's what I used for inspiration. =)


Matthew Turns 6

4"-6"
The only request that I had for this Yo Gabba Gabba cake was for it to have all of the characters on it. I found a couple of cakes that I really liked the color and the patterns on so I just used those as inspiration for this cake. =)

Baby Estrella

This is a replica of a cake that I've made many times but this is the first time I've used lime green. I was told that Estrella means "star" in Spanish so the mommy-to-be wanted stars on the bottom tier. =)


Kaelyn Riley

Just a cute little frilly girly cake for miss Kaelyn Riley's baby shower. =) I've been bad with keeping up with my blog lately, but if I'm not mistaken, I'm pretty sure that they sent me a picture of a cake to copy and I added the flowers to the design.
