Tangled

I had an order for a Rapunzel cake - from the cartoon Tangled. I didn't want to attempt the tower, afraid it would topple. So, I made a small two tier cake, covered it in little purple and pink flowers, wrapped her hair around the cake, and put lanterns floating down the sides.

The cake is chocolate, no filling. It is covered in vanilla buttercream and green marshmallow fondant. All the decorations are either made of frosting or fondant. It was for a little girl's birthday party, so I wanted it to be edible.




I bought a new airbrush machine and I got to use it on this cake. I sprayed the yellow lanterns gold, and I sprayed her hair gold to give it a little extra something. Then I sprayed the whole cake with shimmer to make it shine. It turned out really pretty. And for the first time, my fondant turned out smooth and pretty.

That's CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow...

Well, I created a kit cake for the first time ever. This cake was very simple... except the cake was too moist and made it difficult to frost the cut edges.

It is a strawberry cake with chocolate buttercream frosting. I used white frosting for the waves, and blue colored piping gel for the water.

The little characters on it are from Pirates of the Caribbean.



Still turned out pretty cute, even for a kit cake. :)

Humvee Cake

The Humvee cake turned out really cool... Unfortunately, I don't have a picture that does it justice. I have pictures, but I don't think it photographed too well. It still turned out really cool. I was also told that they finished it off today, so it didn't last long.









The cake is red velvet with cream cheese frosting. The hummer is also made of cake. I used Oreos covered in black fondant for the tires. I used the black fondant for the windows. I brushed them with powdered sugar to give the impression of glass. I used the remaining black fondant to make the balls around the bottom of the cake. The sand is made of graham crackers and sugar to give it the sparkle that only sand has. I used black frosting to write ARMY on the grill of the Humvee.

He loved the cake. Welcome Home!

Military Support

A friend's boyfriend just returned from Iraq/Afghanistan. She asked me to make him a cake. He's a Humvee driver, so I am creating a Humvee in the desert camo colors.

I'm going to be making a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. It should be super fun, and pretty easy. I'll be using black fondant to help create the wheels. :) Pictures will be posted this weekend... After he receives it.

I also send out a special prayer and special thanks to all our military who are serving at home, abroad, or in secret. Thank you for your service; thank you for your sacrifice. May God bless you and keep you safe.

Mermaid Waters off the Port Bow!

A friend's daughter turned five this week. She is an adorable little red-head that just loves the Disney Princesses. Her favorite is Ariel from the Little Mermaid. My friend asked me to make her a Little Mermaid cake for her birthday.

It was a chocolate cake with strawberry filling. Buttercream Frosting and the entire cake was edible except Ariel.

It turned out very lovely. I used Nerds candy for the ocean gravel.

Janice Mead's Pound Puppies - For Sale

These Pound Puppies are created by Janice Mead, my mother. She uses the original Pound Puppy pattern from the 80s.

Each puppy has it's own unique personality because of the stretch of the fabric as Mom sews them together. They spotted ones have spots that are completely unique to him/her.

Mom does not use the Pound Puppy patch or eyes. She creates her own eyes and "signs" the puppies with hand sewn heart and paw pads.

Mom strives to make each puppy unique and child friendly. The puppies do not contain any removable plastic parts and are sewn to withstand play. They are super soft and cuddly. They love to be cuddled and pampered.

If you want one, please email me.
The large Puppies are $15. Small are $5.

Color availability is what is shown in the images. No other puppies are available at this time.

Large: Yellow, Green, Tan
Small: 5 Tan, 3 Pink Dalmatian, 4 purple, 4 green, 1 camo, 1 yellow
