Wizard of Oz Cake


Cakers, this cake was a blast to make. I am addicted to lots of color. This cake has that in spades. Plus, we got to dabble in some more poured sugar and play around with an LED light for the Emerald City. It doesn't get more fun in the kitchen than lots of colors, lights, and a castle. Just sayin'. Oh, and did I mention red edible glitter for her shoes? Yeah, and the MOUNDS of silver luster dust for the tin man. Pure sugary fun.
The specs: This cake was a 10" and 6" Buttery Gold Cake filled with rich Vanilla Buttercream. The castle is poured sugar and all decorations are edible. Woot! Well, minus the LED light built into the cake under the castle.
Happy Birthday, Angie!

Red Rose Wedding Cake























Cakers, this cake was a vision in person. It was all shimmery and just covered in lush red roses. The topper is made of poured sugar and has a LED light built into cake underneath it. At the reception, the light shined up through the poured sugar topper so it was illuminated softly among the flowers. All of the roses are hand made from gumpaste and then individually shaded with a shimmery luster dust. I fell in love with this romantic cake when it was finished.
This cake was a 10", 8", and 6" Buttery Gold Cake with Strawberry Fluff filling. Congrats to the lovely bride and her lucky groom.

Air Force Retirement Cake


This cake was a privilege to make. My Dad also retired from the service, so it was sort of a throw back of memories from growing up. Cakers, this fellow was an over achiever. See all those ribbons? Yeah, his over achieving ways were thorns in my side when making all those little bronze and silver leaves to go on his plethora of ribbons. (I kid ... I kid)
The specs on this cake: it is a 10", 8", and 6" White Cake filled with Whipped Lemon Curd. All decorations are made of either fondant or gumpaste.
Thanks for your service, Matt!
