The Cheeseburger Cake

I made this cake for my son's 14th birthday BBQ.  It was a huge hit with all his friends.  One of them initially thought it was a real giant cheese burger and not a cake.

It's a three layered cake and the middle (burger patty) layer is a brownie.  Fondant was used to make the cheese, tomato, lettuce, and pickles, buttercream was used to frost the cake and sliced almonds as sesame seeds.  The french fries was a last minute thing... I had my husband run to the store and buy pound cake that I just cut up and put red icing on top as ketchup.

Here's the cake without the fries so you can see the bottom layer.

and here is his itemized bill.  Numbers had to do with his birth date, age, and birth weight. 
















This was as easy and fun cake to make and enjoyed by all.

Sweet Sixteen

This is the cake I made for my high school best friend's daughter, Esther.  I was told she likes the color green and likes to wear make up and paint her nails.  This is what I came up with...

Yellow cake with my Tundraberry Jam mixed with buttercream frosting.  Covered all with fondant.  Handle is made using gum paste and an aluminum bar for support.  All make up items also made from fondant.

Snowman Brownie Pops Christmas 2010

Here's my second attempt with Snowman Brownie Pops with help from www.bakerella.com

My Sweet Valentine

Photo's of the sugar cookies I made for Valentines...

 

The idea for cupid and tree came from www.fancyflours.com 

I used their wafer papers for the designs.

Santa's Going Nome for the Holidays!

I entered this cake in the dessert competition for NSHC employees.  There were three categories: appearance, taste, and holiday...  each winner would receive $100 each.  I won for best appearance.

This cake took me a couple of days to make made mainly from fondant.  Bottom later was a spice cake with lemon butter cream frosting.  I used an igloo cake mold to make the igloo it was a gingerbread and yellow cake swirl also with lemon butter cream.

Here's Santa fishing he's caught a killer whale but doesn't realize it.  You can see the killer whale in the photo above.

See the metal rod in the back of Santa, the north star was on top of it.

Right behind Santa is another water hole with a seal stealing Santa's fish (a red salmon).  You can't tell in this photo but the seal even had whiskers that I made from fishing line.

Here we have the Welcome to Nome  sign and polar bear tracks leading to the back of the igloo.

Here's the polar bear with a little birdy sitting on top of her.  In the back of the igloo I even have a little outlet made from fondant to plug in the Christmas lights (not seen in this photo).

Iditarod Cookies

I made and sold these at the Iditarod Arts and Crafts show in 2009.  They were a huge hit with locals and tourists.  This one happened to be musher #30 who is Melissa Owens, local Iditarod musher here in Nome.
