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 …
I recently stumbled upon Drop In & Decorate while I was killing time on the black hole that is the internet. As soon as I read what it was, I knew I had to participate! In a nutshell, Drop In & Decorate is a nonprofit organization based in Rhode Island. Their mission is to inspire …
Everyone knows accessories “make” the outfit, but don’t you just love when they’re cute AND functional? My two new cake-cessories are just that! Ever since I cut 12 inches off my hair…drastic, I know…I can’t pull it all back in a ponytail when I work on cakes. That just won’t do! Then I came across …
I’m super excited about the cake I’m going to share with you today! We were asked to make a 3-D dump truck from Construction Pals. Again, I’d never heard of them so we did a little research… Check out all these adorable birthday party supplies: And the little guy we were asked to replicate is …
Zebra print must be “in” right now! We did 3 cakes with zebra print in April (this one, the monkey cake, and the brightly colored sweet 16 cake). This cake was iced in buttercream and decorated with fondant dots, circles, and zebra stripes. It was topped with a gum paste “Happy Birthday” spray and white …

It just doesn’t get any better than when the sugar world pairs up with a charity to do some good! Last weekend, the American Cancer Society held a huge fundraiser in Greenwood, SC with a cake decorating contest, a tasting contest, a social, and a concert. For those of us unlucky enough to only find …
Since we live in Gainesville (aka Gator Country, The Swamp, Title Town), I knew it wouldn’t be long before we got an order for a 3-D carved gator cake. And, lucky enough, it came last week! It was carved out of red velvet cake (my favorite) with white chocolate cream cheese filling, and the legs …
One of the wedding cakes we decorated last week had sugar flowers on it. I love sugar (aka gum paste) flowers! The idea that you can create something with an edible dough that looks almost identical to the real thing – if done correctly – is something I can’t get enough of. Don’t get me …
I love baby showers! Who doesn’t!? All those cute little clothes, the tiny shoes, the blankets, etc! Last weekend, I got to decorate a cake for a baby shower that was based on this cake. Well, it wasn’t just based on that cake, the customer wanted pretty much an exact replica! So, similar to the …
