This cake was ordered by the same customer who also ordered the Christmas Ornament Cupcakes. She had ordered the cupcakes for a small dinner party, and they were such a hit she decided to order a larger cake, with the same ornament theme, for another party. The large 3D ornament was made from rice krispy treats formed into a ball and covered in red fondant. The design was piped on using royal icing and painted with gold luster dust. All the ornaments going around the cake had different design.

I made this cake for the retirement party of a Chemistry Professor at Centenary College. I actually worked for the professor last spring so I was honored when I was asked to make a cake for her retirement party.

The cake was covered in fondant to look like the top of a chemistry lab bench. The cake is topped handmade fondant decorations to look like a test tube, notepad, pencil, periodic table, and of course a beaker filled with “blue liquid” CuCl2.

A customer recently asked me to make a cake for her husband. He is originally from England and she was throwing him a party to celebrate how many years he has lived in the United States. For the theme of the cake she asked me to incorporate his favorite game of Tiddlywinks. Upon doing some research I discovered that, although not very popular in the U.S., Tiddlywinks is very popular in England. There is even a English Tiddlywinks association.

The cake was frosted in buttercream and covered with fondant “winks” placed all around. The pot on top of the cake was handmade out of fondant and has a wink mid-air. The American and British flags are made from edible images.

A bride recently asked me to make a grooms cake for her husband to be in the shape of a log cabin. They are planning to build a log cabin together after the wedding. I carved the cake into the shape a house and then rolled out logs of fondant to build the siding.
