Whale Shark Cake

This was a birthday cake for Zeb who is amazed by God's creation - the Whale Shark! Thank you Shannon, as always, for this brilliant montage! (See her beautiful work at http://www.blu-bambu.com/ ). I love having the birthday boy in the picture. Chocolate cake, vanilla buttercream "painted" with variations of blue color gel. All see creatures piped on the sides are buttercream and the shells are fondant. Whale shark is shaped crispy rice treats (thank you, Cameron!) covered in fondant and "painted" with color gel and silver pearl dust. White caps are royal icing.

Baby Girl Argyle

My inspiration on this one was the bedding for Krimson's nursery. White Almond Sour Cream cake and Vanilla Buttercream icing. Diamond shapes - chocolate fondant. Tiara and scepter - Royal Icing. Gold dragees.

Hair Stylist Cake

This was a really fun cake. Our dear friend Shannon not only takes beautiful photography (as evidenced above), but is also a very talented hair stylist. Some of her friends got together a "Thank You, Shannon" party to thank her for her generosity of time and talent. We (my girls and I) found this piece of clipart and it reminded us of something Shannon would appreciate. So, we made it into a cake! Of course it had to be her favorite flavors, chocolate cake and mocha buttercream. Cameron cut the artwork out of black-tinted chocolate clay and I placed it on a layer of white, green and marbled fondant. Cake is oval-shaped and the little sign (made by Greer) says, "Thank You, Shannon/We Love Your Clip Art".
