Robert's Birthday

The re-creation of Robert's incident of hitting a deer junior year after Victory Dance. Not funny at the time, but now looking back on it, we clearly have a good laugh. Happy 20th Birthday Robert! (The old man of the group)

My partner in cake crimes, Bonesaw. We had a blast working on this cake, even though it took 4 hours! The car mold took 2 boxes of cake mix and over an hour to bake. The middle didn't fill all the way though, so we had to stuff the middle hole with the extra cake we cut from the bottom. In this case, it's not what's on the inside that counts ;)

My cousin Olivia turned 20 this week, and instead of my aunt Annie buying a cake from a local bakery, she asked me to make O's cake. It turned out so very simple and cute! I did the flowers in fondant, but after I let the cake sit over night, they did start to bend a little bit. So if they were just stuck flat on the cake, it would have been fine, but since they were set off the cake, they bent a little bit. I plan on using gum paste the next time I do decorations... can't wait for that new adventure! :)

Cincinnati Lovin'

This might be one of my favorites to date. One of my best friends, Bryan (Scheck), is a huge sports fan especially Cincinnati teams. So since I had already made a UC cake for my uncle, I decided to try out another Cincy team, the Bengals! For those unaware, this is the Bengal's "B" Logo. It was quite the delicious cake after our night out Paintballing for Scheck's Birthday.

Krista is legal!!

Krista is absolutely obsessed with Hello Kitty and the color pink. And since 18 is a big birthday, I told her to go ahead and pick whatever she wanted for her cake. So as I expected, she chose a Hello Kitty Cake, with her favorite Strawberry cake on the inside. It turned out to be a super cute cake, even though the Fondant-ing job was not the best. I was rushing to get this cake finished for her for her birthday evening. But she still loved it, and I'm so glad!

More Graduation Cakes

These 2 cakes were for a Brother/Sister graduation party. My neighbors, Kelly and Sean graduated from Seton High School and St. William Elementary School, respectfully. We've known their family for a long time, so it was wonderful and a pleasure to be asked to make their party cakes!

Summer Time Cakes

Both the Seton (SHS) Cake and the NKU Norse Cake were for my Sister's, Krista, graduation party. She wanted Funfetti cake, but my mom was convinced not everyone would want it, so we did the 2 cakes. One was chocolate and one was funfetti.
My Aunt Jen turned 30 this year, and my uncle Shawn was kind enough to ask me to make her birthday cake.
Casey, who I call Mario, has wanted one of my cakes FOREVER, so for her birthday at the end of May, I made her this cute girly yet simple cake, with fondant covering and fondant polka dots.

My cousin Josh graduated from Harrison High School this year, and his graduation party theme was rock n' roll. For this cake I went with that theme instead of a traditional graduation cake

December 2009 Cakes

One of my best friends, Robert, always has all of our friends over for New Year's Eve. And this year when he asked us to bring food to share, I decided to bring a Funfetti cake to share. (Funfetti is EVERYONE'S favorite) This was my first attempt at doing non-traditional cake shaping.
My Uncle Dave is a HUGE UC fan, and even though I go to Xavier, I decided that it would be nice to make him a UC cake for his birthday. Yes, that's some serious love. There wasn't a speck of Xavier blue in that cake either. ;)

Megan's Birthday

This was the first cake I decided to go "extreme" with. It was for one of my best friend's, Megan, Birthday. She loves zebra print! My friend Stephanie a.k.a. Bonesaw, was my partner in crime for this project.
We tag-teamed on the whole thing. I came home from school that afternoon, baked 7 cakes in 2 hours, fondanted the 2 tiers, and stacked them. Bonesaw came to pick it up while I went to work, she rolled out the black fondant, cut and stuck on the stripes, colored, traced, and cut out the "M" and "19" and then there was this! We had planned this cake for a long time, scanning each other pictures back and forth while we were in school- 45 minutes away from each other. Megan (Merg) LOVED her cake! It was a great surprise after her surprise dinner at LaRosa's that evening!

First Blog Post

This will be my first blog post on here, so most of these cakes were made and decorated quite awhile ago. But I'm going to post all of them with photos and a description about the cakes and the event!

Enjoy!
