Skyler Cake

Skyler's birthday was a real rockin' event. What does a little rock star have for a cake nothing else but a guitar. Sarah and I went back and forth on the design but then we decided on the guitar. It turned out pretty good. I did learn a few things that next time I will do differently but over all I say it was a success. This was a vanilla cake with strawberries and strawberry crack filling.

Genea Cake

For my friend Genea (who works with Rob) I wanted to do something special. I don't think enough people tell her how special she is or do enough special things for her. So with my sneaky ninja skills I was able to have her pick out the perfect cake for her 32 (cough cough) birthday. Rob took it to work along with decorations and gave her a proper birthday celebration. This cake was one of my most requested flavors. Dark Chocolate cake with fresh strawberries and strawberry crack filling.

Madel Cake

One of the mom's from Gymboree asked me to make a cake for her mom's birthday party this weekend. The had decided on a Lula theme. The bottom layer was yellow cake with chocolate mousse and the round was a chocolate cake with strawberry crack and fresh strawberries.

Fish Cake

Candi called me up and asked me if I would be able to make her a cake for her bosses birthday.  I didn't have any cakes scheduled so I said sure.  Candi said her boss was a fisher and that she was wondering if I could do a fish cake.  And she added that his favorite cake was German Chocolate cake.  Not one to back down from a challenge I said sure.  I had never made the coconut and pecan frosting from a German Chocolate cake before but figured I would be able to figure it out.  I think the filling turned out really good.  Then it was on to the fish.  I hope that I did the blue fish justice.  My favorite part was his eyes and mouth.

The example that I used:


What I ended up with:

Fellowship cake

My neighbor across the street Ann asked me if I could make her a cake for her Christmas fellowship meeting today.  This cake is as diabetic friendly as I can make one of my sweetest things.  I used a reduced sugar chocolate cake mix, sugar free pudding, and fresh fruit.  This cake was chocolate cake with fresh strawberries and strawberry crack filling.

Marissa Cake

One of Cameron's teachers is about to have a baby boy any minute.  So a few weeks ago the other teachers threw her a baby shower and I was lucky enough to make her cake. 





The top cake was chocolate cake with buttercream filling, the middle cake was yellow cake with fresh strawberries and strawberry crack (marshmallowy) filling, and the bottom cake was yellow cake with chocolate truffle filling.

Jack O' Lantern cake

This past weekend Shayne and Andrea had  a Halloween party.  On thier invitation it said to wear a costume and bring a carved pumpkin.  Not being all that good at carving pumpkins I opted for a nontraditional Julie style pumpkin.  I just made mine out of cake and fondant.  Turns out that I was the only one that read that part of the invitation.  So by default I won the pumpkin contest.  This cake was carrot cake with cream cheese filling.
