One of my co-workers has a husband who is graduating from nursing school. His "scrub top" cake is butter pecan with butter pecan mousse filling. It's iced with a thick layer of almond buttercream then decorated with fondant.




This cake is for my husband's newest Godchild and his cousin on their Christening day. This is a yellow cake with butter pecan mousse filling. It has been iced smoothly with white buttercream. The cross on top is made from royal icing apple blossoms and the bows and trim are fondant.

God bless Gavin & Drew.

The Knights

This cake was made as a favor to my husband. His boss's father was coming in town to meet with a group of his high school friends. This cake represents their high school fraternity (the Knights), symbol (the shield), and colors (black and gold). The "Skip" written on the cake is LSU's own Skip Bertman. I'm an LSU fan so I think that's pretty cool.
The cake is chocolate and it's filled and iced with chocolate buttercream icing. The cake is decorated with fondant and piped with black buttercream icing.

Operation...buzzz


This cake was made for the employee picnic at the hospital that I work for. It's a replica of the famous and fun game Operation. The cake is butter pecan and the filling is butter pecan mousse. It's iced with almond buttercream icing and it decorated with fondant.

Kentucky Derby Hat


























Another co-worker was leaving us and moving to Kentucky. And what could be more Kentucky than the Kentucky Derby? No self respecting southern lady could attend the Kentucky Derby without having a proper hat to wear...well, in this case, eat.
This was a chocolate cake with chocolate icing covered in white fondant. The daisies and fantasy flowers are made of a mixture of gumpaste and fondant.

Transformer


My nephew Christian's 6th birthday was in February and he loves Transformers. I made a chocolate cake with chocolate filling. It was iced with almond buttercream icing. The Transformer logo was made of fondant and sprinkled with red shimmer sugar.

Happy retirement Julie


On of my co-workers was retiring and I made her a cake. This one was a white cake with buttercream icing. The daisies are made of gumpaste.
