Dashboard Hula Girl Cake

This fun birthday cake takes us all right to Hawaii. A dashboard hula girl on top of a little island in the sea on top of the cake is encircled with hibiscus flowers, palm trees and even a ukulele. Playful, colorful and delicious! Aloha!

Reds, Pinks and Purples Ombre Cake

These cakes were created for a little girl's first birthday, with a hot air balloon theme all in shades of reds, pinks and purples. We wanted to create something different, pretty and girlie and the customer did not want balloons on the cake. I took inspiration from an AMAZING Ombre Rainbow Cake (by Rise & Shine Bakery) and created this 10" round cake and mini 5" baby cake. Thousands of hand-piped dots later, and they had two stunning cakes that fit in perfectly with their theme!

Dora The Explorer Backpack Cake and Toppers

This backpack cake and custom Dora toppers were made for a little girl's 2nd birthday. The bright colors and expressive faces really bring these cute cupcakes and cake to life. By the time I was done making the backpack, I was ready for it to start talking to me! This is a great example of how one cake and one dozen cupcakes can really be the star of the show (well, next to the birthday girl, of course).
