The best thing to do with leftover scraps from carving other cakes? Turning them into delicious cake balls! I experimented with different flavored cake balls and “premiered” them at Christmas with my family. They were an absolute hit! Hazelnut, Irish Cream, Amaretto, Chocolate Marshmallow Fudge – there was something for everyone.
The bride and groom love Disney and had requested I make the classic Mickey and Minnie ears as the cake topper. I’m so proud of this cake. I hand made all of the sugar flowers and sculpted the ears out of rice krispies and chocolate.

This was such a fun cake to make! This was a chocolate vegan cake made for Xavier for his 3rd birthday. He’s obsessed with all things trains, especially Thomas the Tank Engine, so I borrowed a few children’s books and did my research on Thomas & Friends and decided to make a train station scene. I found a special birthday edition Thomas train, which was a cute addition..to the cake and Xavier’s ever-growing train collection. It was adorable how he recognized every single figure/detail on the cake, even Sir Topham Hatt!
This cake has been a looong time coming! I had been wanting to make this camera as a groom’s cake for my brother’s wedding since July, but with 300 favors in the making, clearly didn’t have the time then! So I decided it would make the four hour trip down to Maryland to make a special appearance on his birthday. 🙂
This has definitely got to be my most ambitious cake, since I had never actually carved a cake before. The base was made out of four layers of my signature vanilla cake while the lens was made out of homemade rice krispie treats. I used Ace of Cakes star Duff’s line of fondant, which although more expensive, was the best fondant I had ever tasted and the easiest to work with. For a truly unique, personal touch, I inserted a small digital frame into the back of the cake that played a slideshow of pictures from my brother’s wedding. Just like a real camera! Amazing…
