Raiderette cake

21st birthday cake for a good friend's son. Gosh they are all grown up. Once they hit that age it's all about boobs. We tried to please him. No Raider logo (not a fan). Really, I'm not but that's not why. He decided he wanted the players number on her boob and his name on bikini bottom. So we just kept the colors going. If it works for you than me too. Happy 21st Birthday Gilbert!

Vegas theme cake!

Wow.....it's been years since I've blogged. If I only really had time to get to it. Oh the good old days of being home and just making cakes and being crafty. But then life happens and we have to work a real job stuck at a desk and no more baking time. It becomes a side job. So sad but true. Anyhow let me share a few pictures of what I've been doing this whole time. Here's Vegas baby..... This cake was for an 18th birthday party who decided on Vegas. All edible with exception of cards. I had just received my new printer opened it and was ready to print the cards. Big fail, we've all had those days where nothing is always right. Especially me! Printer "malfunction" but in the end new deck of cards did function. Like, Ben Israel, says "I cheated is not unique you didn't make it yourself". Yeah well sorry but in the end it worked. Yay!

Booty cake

This is one I'd been wanting to make for awhile. I finally got to make to make it for my brother in law's 40th birthday.I was inspired by members on Cake Central to make it. I didn't think it would turn out as well as it did, I'm actually pleased with the result. You can't really see the belt but it does read "Happy 40th" in sugar pearls. I don't have templates but I did cut it all out freehand, I just think it's easier. Well, glad I was able to make and post it, if I get to make another I will post a tutorial on how to make it. Thanks for looking.

Mom's 60th Birthday cake

So, I was finally able to upload my mom's 60th birthday cake. She's diabetic, so I tried to make a cute cake out of whipped cream, that wasn't too sweet. Sorry about picture quality it was uploaded through my cell phone. Cake was a butter vanilla cake with a raspberry mousse topped with whipped cream. I added a really big flower and a ribbon around the edge and some silver beads around the edge, piped a few swirls on top.....voila. It was really good and not to sweet. The most important was that she liked it. Thanks and keep posted for more pictures and recipes.

Another tejana

My plans were so different, it was supposed to be a sombrero charro. The night before it was due I was making the embossed edge to the hat and it cracked from one side, frustrated and upset I tried to fix it. Lo and behold I get out my edible glue and as I'm holding it together I realize the center is cracking, by then I let go of the whole thing and it was just unrepairable. Upset and crying like I always do when things go wrong, I head out at 1am to buy some ready to use gum paste. I made this instead and put it up under the heating lamp for it to dry quicker, it didn't dry completely but it made it to the party...late. I hadn't had a bad cake day for awhile until yesterday. Let's not hold my breath I still have another one this week. I really was worked up though. Anyhow my husband said they liked it when it was delivered. Sorry Karina, I hope it worked out and you liked it!

Goooool....... de Chivas

Another Chivas cake for a cousin. I had promised her this cake for her husband since last year. It was supposed to be a Raiders last year and I was going out for my birthday and wasn't able to do it, but this year I had too, only because we have the same birthday. Happy Birthday to both of us! Chivas jersey cake with a soccer ball and a Chivas towel over the ball. I have an excuse behind that towel, I had the worse time making that dumb ball, those shapes are a hassle to get right. I have a cutter but it doesn't work as good as it should because once you try to put them on the cake they don't connect right. Long story but I just threw the fondant towel over it with a Chivas logo.

Cowboy hat

Made this one for a real good friend of ours, Chencho, he plays the accordion for, "Novillos del Norte." I was originally going to make an accordion cake but it didn't work out like that. I settled on making a cowboy hat instead. Wasn't hard at all, I thought it would be a bit more difficult than it looked. Anyhow, I got a lot of nice complements on it at the party, that's always nice. I wasn't trying to feed the whole party with it, just made it as a personal small gift for him. It was a butter pecan rum cake with a custard filling and carved in the shape of the hat. I then iced in butter cream and covered in my favorite fondant. It's all white like the original hats these guys wear nowadays and made the black ribbon around the base of the hat out of black fondant also. I added the name of the group on a edible sheet and my husband said we should've added it to the hat, I thought it would look nicer on the board but he decided on this one. Was pretty pleased with the turnout. Thanks for looking.

Raider girl.

Another one of those bodice cakes, except in a Raiders theme. Since, I was told that the other bikini bottom was too big, I tried to make it smaller. Skimpier is always better for men, huh? lol Anyhow not too much to say about this cake really, it's very similar to the other one only for a difference in color and team..oooooh maybe this one is a little more tan.

Yankee girl!

I have to say I really love this cake! First of all I love the Yankees and second I want boobs like that. lol I had a lot of good and maybe one bad remark on this one, because her bikini bottom was "too big".....of course that remark came from a guy. Oh men.....we can live without them. lol Ok, so this was for my sisters brother-in-law who was celebrating his birthday along with his 4 year old son. One cake was a fireman theme and this one of course. Well the story behind this was, when the time came to cut the cakes all the kids lined up behind this one and were all fighting over who was going to have a piece of the boob. Now what kind of kids would say something like that? Weird huh? Oh well, at least they loved it. I made this from a half sheet and carved it into this shape. Boobs are cupcakes of course (D size please). lol With a waist like that, come one? I didn't make the bottom piece smaller because I figured her boobs were already big and out there so I wanted to be a little discreet. I guess that didn't work on this cake they liked that overexposure. lol All in all everyone was happy. I hope you like it too.

Krone chopper cake

When they called to see if I could make a chopper cake, I was like "cool a motorcycle...airbrush, black and silver, chrome parts." She was like, no, it's like a tractor. Oh...that. Yeah, what about it? Then I figured if I made a dog why not a tractor right? Wrong....this was a pain in the butt cake. I learned alot of wrong before right while making it. I told myself I undercharged and I worked myself out, leaving no energy for the other cakes I have to do. So maybe a few days sleep will make up for it, since I was up until 2:30am working on it. I really just wanted to give up and say something like, "The dog ate it, sorry!" If that didn't work in school do you really think it would work with her? By the way everyone knows the dogs not allowed in the house. Never mind. I carved and this time I didn't fill it because her son really didn't want to eat it he just want to show it to his friends and co-workers, who by the way are Krone and John Deere manufacturers. This is his line of work and he does it well. So he wants to have it until Friday just on a table to show off, he's real into this type of stuff, if you know what I mean. I tried and gave it my all and that's it! I don't want to see another tractor! lol It's a chocolate pound cake covered in fondant, all decorations are marshmallow fondant as well. Hope you like it!

Corona bottle cake

Thought about this one for awhile, it was a first for me. I guess it turned out. Lemon cake with vanilla butter cream filling and covered in fondant. Lime is also fondant sprinkled in sugar to look like salt. Who has a Corona without a lime and salt? Ha ha Well I hope he likes it, it's actually for my sis-in-law's coworker. He really likes Corona's, I guess it's what he always orders at the bar. Small cake just looks big in the picture, but really only feed 10-12 people. Wasn't as hard as I thought. Carved it freehand and used an edible image I got from Google. I love my edible printer it does anything I want it to.....that is if it's not copyright....dang it, smart printer! Well I hope you like it, I made this in place of beer bucket. Sorry guys.

My doc's cake........

This was a special request from my doctor's wife. He has so many interest. For one he's a doctor and a good one too, second he's into golfing (what doctor doesn't like golf), third wildflowers and I added the last his french bulldog (Lily). So I tried to incorporate all his likes into his cake. I made this wildflower book, and a doctor bag with a stethoscope, golf ball, ball picks (whatever they're called), golf club and of course some poppy's. Oh did I forget.....an I phone with his dogs picture. We have a small story behind that...he loves this dog...maybe .....more than his grand kids. lol No kidding, I say that because we once asked if he had any pictures of his grand kids on his phone to share and as he scrolling through his picture we couldn't help to notice that picture after picture after picture were Lily (his dog) so total of 68 pictures and not one of his grand kids. So we laugh about that in the office. Well this weekend I had 3 cakes to turn in, all were okay but this one....yeah the longest hours of cake making come down to nothing in the end. I just wanted to give up on cakes.....I cried and chewed myself out. The bag's back side started to come apart in this 102 degrees heat. So the handle broke off and the cake was so moist and the cherry filling doesn't help to stabilize either. Well it just didn't do well.....until Alrie just said those magic words....Don't worry it's great, couldn't have been better! I love her, I wish all clients were like her! I know we all have bad days. End of story... this is what it looked like before the damage. I hope they enjoyed it!

Jersey cakes

These were 2 cakes I made for a party, and each birthday person has their own favorite team. So I made a, Chivas, (soccer jersey) and a, Cowboys, jersey as well. They were both of butter cream with fondant accents. I used my printer again for the Chivas logo and for the Cowboys stars on the side of the arms....of course you cant see them. Well better luck I'm still in search of a better camera. I've been using my cell phone for all these pictures. Give it up for the cell phones!

Raider's football cake

Not a fan at all, but I do love cake. You know, I'm like the fat kid that loves cake...any kind as long as it's CAKE. With the exception that I really am fat and can't live without cake. True confession. lol I made this cake for my sister's cousin-in-law. He's a true die hard Raider fan. I mean from having your whole master bedroom decorated in black and grey and queen bedspread is even Raiders. That's awful. Well football cake is covered in fondant and made it look as if it's on grass (butter cream). That's it nothing special.....can you tell? No secret tips.

Talk all you want....

Hello.....hello. Well it's a cake not a phone, no it's a cake phone....ok forget it, it's an iphone cake. I made this for my boss's son who by the way works for Apple and designed some of the games that are on this thingy. His favorite cake was lemon poppy seed and that's what he got covered in vanilla black fondant, which I'm sure everyone had a black mouth when they were done eating it. I took this picture with my cell phone. Camera not working at the moment, maybe it's time for a new one. Everything's edible. I just bought my printer and some edible ink and have been making things like crazy. I almost used up using all my edible paper getting to use the darn things, but as you can see it works. Wasn't as hard as it looks actually a simple pleasant cake to make, the most important thing is they loved it. And that made all the difference.

Rita's Teapot

I was finally able to upload this picture. My camera wasn't working so Olivia took the picture on her cell phone, if it doesn't look to clear you know why. I made this for one of favorite nurses where I work part time. She's a big tea drinker (Earl Grey) of course. Well she was very surprised and never expected a cake like this. It made me happy to see that she really liked it. It was an orange cake with cream bouquet butter cream....that stuff is good and I don't like butter cream very much. It's covered in fondant, the little so called mug is rice crispy covered in fondant. Had fun making it, would've liked it to be nicer, but it's going to do for now. Color inspiration came from Mary Englebright (hope I got that right). Thanks for keeping up on my blog! I have an I phone, Louis Vitton diaper bag and 2 more Mario Brother cakes & cupcakes in the next 2 weeks so check them out.

Zebra stripe cake

I just made this today for a nurse at my old job. It was her 50th Birthday so I thought this would be just perfect for her. It's a spice cake (which is her favorite) with cream cheese filling, covered also in cream cheese with fondant stripes and ribbon roses. It was actually really good and moist, the most important thing is that she really liked it and everyone who has a piece loved it. Nothing makes me happier than knowing that people like my work. I know my work isn't perfect but I sure try to make it look as nice as I can. I'm actually pretty pleased with my work on this one, this really was my idea and work together. If only cream cheese crusted a little better than maybe I could've said it's was perfect, but on the other hand it was actually very creamy. Hmmmm I don't mean to sound difficult. Like London says, " Yeah me!"
