hi all!

my 5th ever cake decorated. I think I’m getting a little better every time? see progress on my page. it was fun, and it was something my husband (yes, lol) requested for his birthday, and so I tried to the best of my minimal ability! hope you enjoy :-)

one thing I struggle with is food coloring. any recommendations? I just have a basic box from Amazon, and my green was no where near where I wanted it to be.

inside is chocolate and chocolate whipped cream

I tried to do as much of the ship in buttercream as I could. And I was going to make a Captain Barnacles figure but then I thought it’d be cuter to put my son’s face there instead. It’s a vanilla and strawberry cake with vanilla and strawberry frostings and vanilla and strawberry crumble.

I just realized I hadn’t shared this cake before. I made an MJ thriller cake complete with puppet hand for my Halloween Wars watch party last year. This past year just got away from me.

MJ is sculpted in modeling chocolate and fondant. The cake part is the popcorn bucket! It was an apple spice cake filled with caramel marshmallow buttercream, pecan brittle and chocolate pearls. Covered in fondant with freshly popped popcorn.

40th Anniversary cake for my parents that "nods" to their original wedding cake! I'm proud of the decorations/style I took it, because I sometimes overestimate my abilities. "Rustic homage" seemed to work this time 😜

Actually my birthday cake from last month but I screwed up the top tier so badly I put it in the freezer for 30 days before I mustered the courage to learn to use fondant

The top is a butterfinger cake and the bottom is (vegan) strawberry and pineapple

Pallet knife flowers are always my favoriteeeee. I had a lot of fun making this one :)

8 inch vanilla heart shape cake with Italian buttercream

Around here (Brasil), we love the brigadeiros, so that's why I've put a lot of them on a lot of these! KKKKKKKK
Well I hope you all like them, I've been trying my best. Most of these are for orders, some are for the house.

The cake is my go to devil’s food cake by Stella Park, filled with miso Swiss meringue buttercream, miso caramel, chocolate ganache and black sesame crunch. I sculpted punch in modeling chocolate and painted in edible oil paints. The mountain part is 50/50 modeling chocolate and fondant and airbrushed. I also made cherry blossom flowers out of wafer paper. He is as delicious as he is adorable.

I’ve been dying to make a candle cake so I finally just did it for myself! It’s red wine chocolate cake and American buttercream filing

The whitechapel cake was so fun to do but I think my absolutely favorite is the bees and purple flowers. I’ve been expanding my knowledge and skills and I think it’s been paying off ☺️ constructive criticism welcomed and appreciated 🫶

I used the tops of my last cake and the leftover frosting from another and made a mini-5 layer cake, just for fun. 💜

Super out of practice decorating, but I just started a new job and baking for my new coworkers was a great excuse to get back to it.

In an ideal world I would have topped it with glazed fresh peach slices but uncooked stone fruits are off the menu at the moment haha. So I went with some (rough) flowers and the writing.

It’s a brown butter cake with spiced peach filling and brown butter swiss meringue buttercream inside. The outside is vanilla american buttercream because I ran out of eggs.

I made this for a gathering my sister-in-law was having with her brother’s family. I didn’t think I could pipe or draw nice butterflies so I bought some and put them on little fondant disks as a food-safe barrier

I’ve never really done pallet knife flowers or floral arrangements on a cake before

Marble cake with cheesecake cream filling and raspeberry filling, and buttercream frosting. The Moana cakes I saw and wanted to try I figured were too advanced for me, so I just went for it to see how it went. I hate working with buttercream frosting, I can never get sharp, crisp lines with it. I was expecting it took look like complete shit, but it came out better than I was expecting. The seashells were white chocolate that we painted with edible glitter. The sand was ground up nilla wafers, so the only thing we didn’t make were the trees, leaves, flowers, and the little pearls on top of the cake. And I don’t eat a lot of sweets. Cakes are always way too sweet for me. This was so good!

ETA: just wanted to say thank you for all the cake love! 💗 when people you’re close to you tell you something looks great, it’s easy to kind of overlook it. When strangers still say it looks great, it cements that in!

My SIL asked for a Chanel purse style cake for her birthday and I tried my hand at it! I’m not great with fondant so opted for black rosettes instead 🖤 the cake is a white almond cake with white chocolate and raspberry filling!

EDIT: You guys are so nice 🥹 thank you for the kind words!

I made the cakes for the hubby’s aunt’s birthday! Hearing everyone say they thought we bought them from a bakery made me feel so good!

Birthday cake for a Taco Twosday themed party for a friend’s son.

Just for fun! It is red velvet inside.

My son turns one next week, so I made a practice run smash cake for him. Chocolate fudge cake with chocolate buttercream frosting and fondant details. His party is a tailgate theme.

Pretty basic looking strawberry crunch cheesecake. Unfortunately with the “explosive diarrhea” outbreak I wasn’t able to get fresh strawberries for the topping so golden Oreos had to do
