Who wants their CAKE and eat it too?

I wanted to share a few of my favorite cakes!

The monkey cake was for a friend of mine, Shannon Hartz Cox for her baby shower. Shannon and I played high school and college softball together. It was such a privledge to play on the same ball team as her through out the years. It is amazing to watch us grow up together as teenage ball players and now become wives and mommies.

The Bee themed baby shower cake is my most recent cake and one of my favorites. It was for Marena Malizia Spell. Mimi and I were neighbors growing up and have known each other since we were 12 years old. Even though, we parted ways (in a good way) for a while due to "life", I am so glad that her and I can catch up like we were still neighbors. She is offically my hair lady and I love chattingwith her as if we never had a break from each other. We just laugh and talk about the crazy times we had.

This pink and Black wedding cake was for my sister, Aron. She married her high school best friend on August 26, 2006. I love this cake. Aron always tells me, "why do you always put my wedding cake as your profiel pic? I seen you make prettier cakes than mine."

Well, she is right, in a way, but since then, I have worked with fondant over and over and it has really brought a lot of variety my skill. So, I wouldn't call the other cakes prettier, just different.

Plus, who wouldn't love their sister's wedding cake?

It's an honor to create these kinds of things for family!

The Tiffany style box cake is my absolute favorite!

When the bride, Karla, told me she wanted a tiffany box style cake, I got really excited, because ideas started spinning immediately. The most exciting part was that she gave me the topper and said, "do whatever." I love it when brides give me free range. It doesn't happen often, but I love it.

I am so glad I met Karla and was able to create this cake for her. Everything on this cake, except the cake topper is 100% edible!

Although, these are not all of my favorites, I could go on and on, but I just wanted to share a few that I considered different or a challenge.

Thanks for peeking!
