Tres Leches

This is a Tres Leches cake. Its a cake that comes from Mexico. Tres Leches translates to "three milks"; It's called this because it uses three different kinds of milk: sweetened condensed, evaporated and regular milk. I add my own special ingredient in there to make it my own. They are traditional made with whipped cream and topped with fresh fruit.
This is a 10 inch round with whipped cream and fresh fruit filling and also topped as decoration.

This was a birthday cake with a funky flat rose design. It is a 10 inch round made of carrot cake with a cream cheese filling and decorated with a Italian buttercream.

Black Forest Cake

Black forest cake is one of my favorites. Its a 12 inch round chocolate cake soaked with a cherry liqueur and filled with cherries and whipped cream. It is decorated with duo chocolate curls and pre-sliced for a party at a restaurant.
This is a Mario cake for a birthday. The cake is a 12 inch chocolate square, a 8 inch square and a 6 inch round. It is filled with american buttercream and covered in fondant. I hand molded the gumba (mushroom looking guy) and hand cut all the decorations.
A sweet banana nut cake filled with whipped cream and fresh bananas is covered in american buttercream. The Curious George is actually a candle. The cupcakes on the bottom are chocolate and vanilla topped with vanilla buttercream and banana candies. The cake is a 8 inch round.
This fun cake is a chocolate cake with strawberries and bananas covered with fondant. Elmo is a 14 inch base and Cookie monster is a 10 inch cake.
This simple wedding cake is made with vanilla chiffon and Italian buttercream. Its a rustic textured design that looks great on its own or with a cascade of flowers. The base is 14 inches and the top layer is 8 inches.
