Range Rover & LA Lakers


This is an early creation by me done in 2009. The lady that wanted this cake wanted LA Lakers along with a replica of this specific black Range Rover. Let me tell you, this was the FIRST time I ever attempted a car. I think it turned out good for my first time ever carving and shaping a car. But it was a lot of work. The LA Lakers logo is all butter cream free handed. no stencil or print from a computer.

Down on the farm shower cake



Here's a cake that I made for a baby boy shower. The theme was all barn things. So, I made the barn out of fondant, the animals out of gumpaste and the green pastures out of fondant! And it was yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..... so I heard! Thanks Natalie!

Baby boy shower cake


This is the latest baby shower cake! It's chocolate fondant with baby blue polka dots with my first ever gum paste bow! I have to say, this is one of the cutest cakes yet!

One of the well known divisions is the Ginger Bread houses. You have never seen a Gingerbread house like this before! It's amazing! Kerri Vincent is the host of the competition. She's also the host of TLC's cake challenge.

I will be entering the competition as a beginner since I have less than 2 years experience and I will be entering some of my cakes. I am currently sketching up some rough ideas for now but will have a better idea when we get closer to the dates. So, if you happen to be in the Oklahoma area October 1,2 & 3rd come to the state fair and check me out!
I will let you know what divisions I will enter and I will keep you posted!
Thanks for all your continued support!
