All sizes and shapes

What better to serve at a Christmas time wedding reception than gift cakes! These three cakes formed the perfect group decorated in zebra stripes, polka-dots, cornelli lace and sotas (a Philippine lacework technique). The bows were accented in silver string beads and fresh flowers provided by the bride's mother.Baby elephants are adorable, especially on cakes. This cake was specially requested to have a little girl elephant with pink and yellow accents. This cake was designed for a golden anniversary in rural Kansas. The couple had saved their original cake topper from half a century ago so I Incorporated it into my design of yellow basket weave, apple blossoms and white roses.Say "Happy Birthday!" is style with a birdhouse cake complete with birds! This cake, designed for a regional cake competition, won first place.The heat of summer was in full swing and it was birthday party time! This sheet cake incorporated flip-flops, sand (brown sugar), hibiscus flowers and cheerful colors. Merry Peppermint Christmas! This cake designed in the shape of a peppermint candy even had peppermint flavored frosting!Spring and summer birthdays are such fun. I was hired to decorate this cake for a girls birthday party that included 50 guests. So designing this large two-layer Easter egg was the perfect solution.This trio of cakes was designed for my twin brothers' high school graduation party. The little cake graduates were a fun conversation piece as well as a scrumptious treat.This spectacular 5-year-old birthday cake was designed for a party on the beach in Naples, Florida. When I delivered the cake, the birthday girl sat next to the cake and the cake was nearly as big as she was!
