Soccer Cake

This cake was made for my daughter's soccer team party. It was an 11 x 15 inch yellow cake iced with butter cream icing. The sides were done in white and the top in green. I used a shell tip for a top and bottom border and tip #5 to pipe the lines on the field. I was able to find female soccer players and goals in a local cake decorating shop. I also added the ready made sugar candy soccer balls to all four sides for an extra touch. It was a hit with the team!

Lake Cake

This cake was made to represent Lake Norman in North Carolina. It was made with a 14inch round pan and 2 1/2 marble cake mixes. The butter cream icing was easy to put on as it had to appear "rough" for waves and sand. I did a shell border around the sand portion and waves around the water part. The trees, beach chairs, cooler and umbrella were all made two weeks in advance out of a gum paste and fondant blend. I used a gum paste glue mixture to adhere popsicle sticks to the backs of the trees. The boat, water skiier and ducks were all bought at a cake decorating store and added a lot of charm to the cake. This was a fun cake to put together and a big hit with the kids at the party!

Dots and Daisies

This yellow cake was made in an 11 x 15 inch pan and iced with buttercream icing . The dots, daisies and letters were all made out of a fondant and gum paste blend. The cupcakes were made to supplement the cake. Altogether, the cake and cupcakes served about 70 people.

Congratulations!

This cake was made for a student teacher who was finishing up her semester of teaching. It is decorated with roses and daisies made out of royal icing.
