Iron Man Cake

Vanilla cake with buttercream frosting.
Covered in fondant. Top part is hand painted
It is still very hard for me to believe that my little cousin, Leah, has a son. It is even harder for me to believe that her son is now six. I remember when I first laid eyes on Leah. My Aunt Denna was holding her. She immediatly became  my little baby doll. Couldn't get enough of her. I loved to do her hair, dress her up and hold her.

When she had her son, I felt the same way about him. Love at first sight.  They stayed with me for several weeks during one summer and I was so very sad to see them go. This is why...in the middle of my Christmas rush and preparing to travel 8 hours to NC for a funeral  at 4 am, I stayed up all night making this cake for "D-Man".

Little purse cake

I made this cake for one of my little neighbor Alexis. She was very happy to receive her surprise birthday cake!

  


Retro Black, White and Red Cake

I created this cake on July 4 of this year. I unfortunately missed most of the activities for the day, but had a great time making this cake. I don't have the printer yet to print logos, etc., so I thought I would try to hand painting on a cake. I've been hooked on painting cakes ever since.

Sex in the City themed birthday cake

I created this cake for Celia, a very dear friend of mine from high school. It was such an honor to make her cake for her birthday!

Sweet little cake


This cake was created for a woman whose mother was turning 86. Her mother had recently lost her husband, so she wanted to do something to cheer her up.

Cakes influenced by my past designs

Here are a few of my cakes that I created loosely based on my designs found on my previous artwork. I'm hoping to have the opportunity to do more of this in 2011! Happy New Year to you all! I pray that the Good Lord blesses you real good.  ;)


The cake above was painted based upon one of my most requested designs. A mixture of flowers, stripes, toile and gingham



For this yellow floral cake, I used the bouquet found on the first 'e' as my inspiration




This design is very popular as well


Elements of the Purple Garden step stool are found in Tatum's Bumble Bee Cake









In 2006 I painted a mural and canvas art for an organization that assisted individuals transitioning from welfare to work. This was the designated nursery area. I pulled a few elements from this and incorporated it into the Happy Garden Cake above

Cupcakes and cookies

Please don't forget that I am also offering cupcakes and cookies!

Red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. This is one of my most requested flavors

Chocolate cake with a mini Snickers Bar baked right in. Adorned with chocolate buttercream and yet another mini Snickers Bar

I made these for one of my closest friend's birthday. Lemon cake with vanilla buttercream. She loved them!

My most requested cookie flavor. White chip walnut, oatmeal raisin, peanut butter and caramel pecan also available
