My Sister's Graduation Cake- Nurse's Scrub Top

May 2009

This was the cake I did for my sister's graduation from U of M in Nursing! It was a red velvet cake with buttercream icing and fondant decorations. I decided to do the colors right off her favorite scrubs... yellow polka dots! Pink and Green are her favorite colors (AKA :) ) so I made the stethoscope pink and green and the pockets too. Her initials on the pocket... and I felt like I had to stuff her pockets since her pockets always have something in them! Candy in one and a pen in the other! She absolutely loved it!

My Own Wedding Cake

June 14, 2009

So my next biggest adventure was making my own wedding cake...

I decided, based on my own likings & husband's-to-be also, that we'd go for the cupcake tree look. With of course the cake on top so that we could cut something! The top tier was a 6" vanilla cake, buttercream, and covered in decorated fondant... however in all of the excitement of the day no one managed to take a picture of the top up close! But I did use the Wilton imprint mat that made it appear to have vines & leaves! It also was topped with our initials RDS... I tried to argue with the lady at the shop about them not all being the same color but she "didn't see a difference"... the S was clearly white!(see pics) The bottom 3 tiers and also covering the table were cupcakes in vanilla, lemon, and strawberry. (Whom my lovely sister Ebori decided to be oh so helpful and she baked them all for me!) I could not take the credit there. I did decorate them all by hand with Royal Blue Daisies! <---- one of our flowers. It turned out great!

I also did husband's groom's cake (big tradition here in the south). SUPERMAN of course. A strawberry cake, buttercream, covered in red/blue marbled fondant. I made the "S" symbol out of fondant too. To complete the look I found Superman & Wonderwoman (what we & friends call us) figures and placed them in front of the cake, facing each other, both with a fist going into the cake... conveniently by the time the pictures were taken some of the groomsmen decided it was funnier for Wonderwoman to be on opposite sides of the cake from Superman with her butt sticking out. (Their humor, not mine!) There was also an audience of 4 other Justice League figures 'watching' Superman & Wonderwoman tie the knot!

Cake Decorating

Cake decorating is something that I have come to love and I have learned that I am fairly awesome at it. :) The first cake that I "decorated" was my first venture at cutting, carving, shaping into a figure, and using more than one color was a Valentine's day gift for my husband in 2009...and the same day he proposed! It was a bear holding a heart and it read 'Beary Loved'. I've come very far in two years... to tiered cakes, awesomely delicious flavored cakes, unique designs, incorporating characters, and so much more. I finally decided to start blogging about my cakes/ cake ventures. Cakes people request me to do, cakes I do for fun, and of course all the problems I encounter. Hope you enjoy!
