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.
This lovely cake is made with strawberry cake with fresh strawberries and whipped cream. The frosting is american buttercream and has buttercream roses on the top.

engagement party cake

I made this engagement cake and I really liked the look of all white. There is something so elegant about an all white event. The wedding is usually filled with color. The bridesmaids are draped in color and there are flowers everywhere. Colors adorn the tables and chairs.
So for this engagement party the theme was black tie. It was a small event. The cake is a ten inch round decorated and filled with Italian buttercream. The cake is made with vanilla chiffon lightly soaked in vanilla syrup.
