Masquerade Prom Cake
May 2011
Of course I was involved in planning the prom at the high school where I taught in Florida! Instead of opting for catered dessert at the venue, the kids all wanted one of my cakes. For this one, for a Venetian-masquerade-ball-themed dance, I went completely over-the-top. Topsy-turvy layers, black-and-white fondant, wired decor, lustre-dusted gumpaste masks, tulle, and loads of feathers. If some is good, more is better.
Kristi & Max Wedding
July 2009
Kristi, an elementary art teacher, asked me to make her wedding cake – her request was to have cupcakes as well as a cake they could cut into. I created this two-tier cake, cupcakes, and custom stand for them. Cupcakes (and cake topper) have a KM monogram on a fondant disc along with sugar pearls coated in lustre dusts. Cake tiers have a variety of decorations, including wired fondant balls, royal icing dots, and fondant circles and rings.

Instead of saving their top layer, this couple simply commissioned a small anniversary cake a year later. The blues, pearls, and circles echo their wedding cake design.

Birthday cake for a Harley-Davidson aficianado. Fondant flames on black. Fondant H-D plaque but with a birthday twist. Cake topper includes fondant tiki torches, gumpaste palm leaves, and a plastic 1953 Harley figurine (same year as the guest of honor’s birth).
Palms and tiki torches give it a Hawaiian flair

Squares and Frames Cake
June 2010
Was given complete liberty with the design of this cake – only guidance was that the birthday boy liked the colors black and blue and that he was a graphic designer. Decided on rotated-square tiers with a swoop of fondant squares and frames, loosely informed by Polaroid snapshots.
