Princess Bear

It is hard to believe that our baby is five! It might be rather sad if she wasn't soon to relinquish her position to the new arrival.
She could not make up her mind as to what cake she wanted. But since she kept coming back to pictures of bears or princess castles, I decided to do a "princess bear".
Cake is chocolate with chocolate/buttercream icing. Pearls are fondant. (She ate the sugar dragees off the crown (ouch!), but said the pearls didn't taste good and picked them all off!)

Reese Cups

This cake was for a suprise birthday party for my dad at the church he pastors. They have a long-standing joke about my dad's love for Reece Cups.
The cake is two double-stacked 11x15's. One side is chocolate w/ chocolate filling, the other is vanilla cake w/ apricot filling. This cake served 150.
They were happy that everyone got cake and there was actually few pieces left over. The last cake they ordered was half this size and alot of folks were upset they could not have more.
Rule: Always over estimate your cake for a large crowd!!

Purse Cake

The base is vanilla cake with strawberry filling and strawberry cream cheese icing. Icing is diamond embossed.
The purse is chocolate cake with chocolate icing. Molded chocolate make up is laying on base. Silver dragees provided accents.
