Welcome

This year I decided I wanted to create beautiful cakes...with no cake experience I found myself taking a wilton class. I fell in love with decorating cakes. One of the my favorite things about creating cakes are the tools. I want every tool imaginable to make decorating cakes easier. This blog will focus on my cakes and how I hope to continue to grow and progress as a cake decorator (if I can call myself that)

Tokidoki, Zebra, and Willy Wonka


This Willy Wonka themed cake was made for my husbands best friend. I used brown fondant and piped the grass with a star tip. The top hat was made with a 3in cake pan that I found at Michaels. The most challenging part of this cake were the letters. I downloaded the Willy Wonka font and printed out the letters and used them as a stencil on the fondant. The letters alone took me two hours to complete. I loved the end result it was a simple, but great looking cake.



I was asked to create a wedding cake this month. My first reaction was, "you do know I'm a beginner!" My friend said "Yes." It was a small, but awesome backyard wedding. The couple was surprised with beautiful decorations and the cake. They both love tokidoki. So, I tried to make this trendy new brand a bit classy. This is what I came up with.


This next cake was made for my niece's/god daughter's 8th grade promotion. She loves zebra pink and Hot Pink. One of my friends loved it, she asked me to make the exact same one the following week but in blue.
