I got asked to do a groom's cake, Dallas Cowboys themed, to show off in front of his NFC East rival friends. :)

The cake was red velvet with cream cheese filling. Yum! 
Football was made out of rice krispie treats.

My sisters's birthday is coming up and she was having a hard time deciding on what flavor she wants for her cake. So, I did a test cake for her. It gave me an excuse to try out a fun new cake design. The cake is a double chocolate cake with raspberry filling and raspberry buttercream. 

Needless to say, it was a hit!

A quick picture of a different type of gum paste shoe I did. This is based on what I learned in Roxanne's stiletto class. I need to tweak this one a bit but still satisfied with the way it came out. ^_^

I had tons of fun working on this cake. This was for my cousin, Dina who turned 21.

All edible. 

I have been wanting to take a class on how to make heels out of gum paste but all the classes here in Dallas have the shoes looking small and stumpy. I was looking to make a realistic sexy shoe. I ending up looking though Nicholas Lodge's website and saw some sexy stilettos out of gum paste done by an amazing Roxanne Moore aka the cake engineer. Once I saw her shoes I knew I had to go to Georgia to take her class. I contacted her and begged her to come to Dallas and she told me in 3 weeks she was going to Austin to teach a class. Well, then and there I signed my mom (I needed a driving buddy) and I for the class. 

Here is Roxanne and I. Of course I have to show off my favorite heel. 

We did 2 shoes in the class. This is shoe 1.

And now for my favorite shoe . . .

Oh how I wish I had a pair like this! LOL. :)

Here is a sweet sixteen cake I did for a co-worker's cousin, Isabel. This one was a first for me because it was a tiered buttercream and fondant details. I have done tiered but not buttercream. I didn't have as many issues as I though I would but then again I had my mom, the buttercream queen help me out a lot. Thanks mom! 

The sweet 16  colors were Turquoise and white with some purple. And her invitations had butterflies on them. I while back I took a class for gelatin butterflies and bows and knew when I found out there were butterflies on her invitations I wanted to do the gelatin ones (they seem more real then fondant ones to me) for the cake. Isabel also wanted zebra pattern on her cake.
