I’m a huge fan of cakes that are iced in chocolate buttercream or covered with chocolate fondant because the colors that are used to decorate the cake really pop! Well, that and you can never go wrong with chocolate! Recently, a bride requested that her cake be iced in chocolate ganache and decorated with fresh …
I’m still in shock about the whole thing, but one of my cakes has been featured on Cake Wrecks. If you’ve never heard of Cake Wrecks, you HAVE to go check it out. It’s an hilarious blog all about things that go wrong on professionally decorated cakes. Every Sunday, they post “Sunday Sweets” which are …
You’ve all been so patient, and I’m pleased to announce that the wait is over! Get ready because here comes Part 3 of your stringwork tutorials! *Dramatic Pause* Bridgeless Stringwork! If you need a catch-up, read the Basic Stringwork and Stringwork with a Bridge tutorials first. Again, I am working on a fondant-covered cake. And …
I love when people are creative with the cake display. We spend hours on each cake so it’s a real shame to see it shoved to the back of a table in the corner of the room. But thanks to all the television shows about cake decorating, the cake is starting to take move of …

This weekend, I’m getting together with a group of girls for an all-girls Texas Hold-em poker game! I wish I could say we are going to have a cake like this at the game… Well, minus the “16” on top, of course. But, nope! No cake for us! In fact, Debbie decorated this cake last …

One of the groom’s cakes I recently did had a fish jumping out of a pond. I molded the fish out of Rice Krispies treats, covered it with fondant, and then Debbie airbrushed it (I’m still mastering the airbrush…). I stuck it in the blue sheet cake, piped some waves and leaves, inserted some gum …
