Bunny Carrot Patch Cake

This is an 11x7" Gluten Free Yellow Cake covered with Dark Chocolate Frosting. The "dirt" in the garden is made from Gluten Free chocolate sandwich cookies crumbs. The "carrots" just sticking up out of the ground are made from the cream in the cookies. The green tops are from Buttercream icing. And of course "Peeps" are made to stand in the garden with toothpick support. 
My grandson sure did enjoy the cake -- both the way it looks and the taste -- and so did all of the adults.

Three Kings and the Star


The Three Kings and the Star cakes. The star and the king farthest right are Lemon Cake -- each is half of a 10" round cake. The first two kings are Red Velvet cake -- each is half of a 12" round cake. These cakes were made for our Epiphany Open House on Sunday, January 6, 2019.

I made cakes similar to these back in the 70s. At that time, my mother was with me and she helped me with ideas and suggestions. It was such fun to create with her. As I made these, I couldn't help but think about her and remember. I'm still doing cakes, but I miss you Mom!

King's Cake for Epiphany!


The cake is a gluten free Pastry cake with Cream Cheese and Walnut filling. Decorated in four "Royal" colors and candy "beads." I made it for our Epiphany Open House on Sunday, January 6, 2019.

Remembering a Loved One


This cake is a Red Velvet 8"-round two-layer cake with Cream Cheese frosting. It's made during Advent 2018 for a sad reason. I hope the cake brings some peace and joy to Austin's mother and siblings this season. Austin died in February or March --a victim of a tragic car accident where he was run over. Red Velvet was Austin's favorite cake flavor. Rest in peace Austin. You are loved and missed.

Pumpkin Patch Birthday

This is a one mix Strawberry cake baked in a pumpkin patch pan. This was for my son's 36th birthday. I've enjoyed making a cake for him for most of these 36 years. He likes Strawberry cake and my grandson liked that it was a pretty pink on the inside. The "Happy Birthday Nathan" is cut out from Rolled Fondant.

65 Years Together!

This is a 9" round 3-layer Pumpkin Cake with Cream Cheese Icing. On top of the icing on the sides are Sugar Sheets cut to the height of the cake. The hearts are Rolled Fondant made from marshmallows. I made three shades of blue hearts. The topper ornament is Sapphire Blue with a 65th Anniversary greeting and the date of their marriage. This was made for my uncle and aunt who live in Missouri. It was a wonderful celebration of a great milestone in their lives!

"Trolls" Cake

My grandson turned three and we celebrated on October 13. He and I watch the cartoon "Trolls" together sometimes, and he wanted a "Trolls" party. So, I found many "Trolls" decorations and ordered this edible image from "Edible Cake Images" for his cake top. He was very excited about his party and his cake. His piece was "Poppy Troll." We all had a wonderful party with him!
The cake is 9"x13" half chocolate and half yellow with colored sprinkles baked in (all gluten-free). I put a rainbow of colors between the "layers." It was fun to eat!

This is a gluten free King Cake. I made it for our Epiphany Party. It is a pastry filled with Cream Cheese and walnuts, rolled up and placed in a circle. It is frosted with purple, green and yellow "royal" colors. The person who gets the "Baby Jesus" in his or her serving becomes the king for the evening and wears the crown. That person is king for the year and plans next year's party!
