We did this cake for my (Teresa's) daughter's lingerie shower they gave her at work. It was actually the easiest cake I've ever done. It was made in a sheet cake pan and two small pyrex pans. I used buttercream frosting for the cake, the roses and white ruffled lace are made with fondant and the black lace designs were done with gel glitter frosting in a tube.

Erica's Bridal Shower cake



This is the bridal shower cake I made for my niece this past weekend. It was made to look like the cake on the plates. I used butter cream colored pink for the base color. The blue and brown around the bottom of the layers is ribbon. I piped white buttercream dots around the cake layers to look like draping pearls, and topped it with a double heart cake topper. I was quite disappointed in this cake upon delivery. When it was finished the night before, it was adorable! Once I got it to the location of the shower & unboxed it, I found that the cake had slid off the cake board and the buttercream was soaking through the blue ribbon. I had to finish sliding the cake off the board and onto a glass stand using a cake server. That coupled with the fact that the buttercream was soaking through the ribbon made it look terrible, in my opinion. She loved it though, so I guess that's what counts.

Justin's 7th b-day cake



This is what Justin wanted on his cake. It's a prehistoric creature called a Mosasaur. Yeah, I had no clue what it was either. I had to google it. lol He saw it on a show on Discovery, I guess. He picked the colors. Instead of spreading the buttercream smooth, I decided to spike it up (as you would with meringue on a pie) to represent water. Justin insisted on the white sugar sprinkles.
