Portal Cube Cake

This chocolate chunk, fudge iced, fondant-covered cake was created for a young adult male's birthday party. He is a major fan of the computer game "Portal," and apparently this cube is significant somehow (although, I honestly don't know details about the game). Also, the phrase "A cake is a lie!" is supposedly quite a funny joke (again, I unfortunately don't know how or why). My hope is that this cake will be devoured and enjoyed by all the "boys" at the birthday party. This cake is delicious . . . and that's no lie!

Fresh Spring blossoms in February? Yep!

This elegant birthday cake makes me wish it were warmer outside and that the beautiful Spring roses on top were real! But, alas, it is COLD and all living blossoms are tucked safely in their cocoon of hibernation. So, I created intricate roses out of gum paste instead! They are every bit as beautiful as the "real thing," but are made of sugar. An added bonus is they never need to be watered, weeded, or pruned. Eye candy extraordinaire!

This cake is signature Sweet T inside and out: delicious vanilla cake, filled with vanilla buttercream, and topped with made-from-scratch fondant (no marshmallows in my fondant . . . just pure tastiness). My favorite details are the two fondant drapes on opposite corners. Eating this fancy cake is certainly the best way to celebrate a Happy 85th Birthday!

A surprise is hiding beneath this fondant!

What treasures lie beneath this delicious Sweet T's fondant and thick chocolate fudge buttercream? Well, if you prefer rich, decadent, chocolate chunk cake . . . then hack your way through the top tier. If, perchance, you favor crisp rice cereal treats . . . then chop off a slab of the bottom tier. That's right! This delightful modern-design cake hides two different treats beneath it's carefully crafted outer layer. Eenie, meenie, mienie, moe. Can't decide? Take a chunk of both tiers (my personal preference!) Why choose when you can enjoy everything!

No, it's not an Easter bonnet. It's a delicious cake!

This mouth-watering candied pecan cake (made by Sous C) is first iced with thick butter rum icing, then covered with Sweet T's signature fondant. I smile when I see the adorable little bows around each tier of this delicious cake. It reminds me of a gift ready to be unwrapped and enjoyed. And, oh, how it was unwrapped and enjoyed! Beautiful cake, Sous C! And no, I don't think it looks like an Easter bonnet (in spite of what some say). And, even if it does, it is the most gorgeous, yummy bonnet ever!

Pink and Purple Birthday Wishes

She is a princess. She likes pink and purple (as any true princess does). And she wants a chocolate chunk, sqaure birthday cake filled with vanilla buttercream and covered with delicious Sweet T's fondant. Royal wishes are my command!

So, here is the process AND the result! I love seeing freshly baked cakes (made from scratch, of course . . . using only the best and freshest ingredients). Seeing those little beauties is like seeing a blank canvas begging for paint. Those cakes are pleading to be iced and made into something beautiful. Again, cake wishes are my command. I filled, stacked, and iced the cakes with Sweet T's classic vanilla buttercream, then covered the cake cube with pink fondant. Then, the real "treat" for Sweet T . . . creatively detailing the cake. I covered the cake with pink and purple fondant flowers, as well as hand-crafted green fondant leaves. I hope this pretty pink princess enjoys her royal birthday dessert!

Sous C's Mini Cake

This darling little mini-cake (6 inch) was created by Sous C. It is a white cake, filled with lemon butter cream, and covered with fondant. This perfect little gift is all wrapped up with a bow and ready for someone to enjoy. Oh wait! That someone was me (along with a few other family members) . And I/we did enjoy.

As Buddy (the Cake Boss) would say, this cake is covered in fawn-dawnt!

Sweet T and Sous C (my sister-in-law, Carrie) both crafted little fondant-covered cakes this evening. This was the small cake I created (Sous C's cake to be added tomorrow). Sous C and I enjoyed making our own delicious (and it REALLY does taste delicious) fondant from scratch. I wanted to cover my cakes with fondant that cake-eaters might actually WANT to eat. Not just scrape off and pile to the side of the remaining cake. Now my cake will not only taste delicious on the inside, but on the outside too! This oval-shaped cake is a tasty, marbled, vanilla and chocolate. It is also filled with thick chocolate custard. Delicious and adorable . . . can't get much better than that!

Mickey Mouse Cake Ears Club

I created this from scratch, fondant-covered, sweet vanilla cake for my Mom's birthday. She is the inaugural member of the Mickey Mouse Cake Ears Club. I wonder who will be next to join? This delicious cake is filled with my delectable vanilla butter
cream frosting. The Club insignia is hand crafted out of chocolate. The only part of this cake that won't taste good is the cardboard it rests upon! Happy Birthday, Mom!

Fondant for dummies. Oops! I meant . . . fondant dummy.

This was my first attempt at covering a cake with fondant. Now, when I say "cake," what I really mean is sanded, smoothed styrofoam. This little "dummy" would not be delicious to eat. But it sure looks pretty!

Crazy Christmas Candy Cane Cake (alliterative much?)

In all honesty, I did not bake, carve, or cover this absolutely amazing cake. However, I did assist my sister-in-law with the idea for making it. I also placed the red and green fondant stripes on this delightful creation. I also ate quite a large chunk of it and it was oh, so divine! This fondant-covered, white cake is filled and crumb-coated with peppermint buttercream icing. Also, crushed peppermint sticks are sprinkled throughout the icing. Say "no" to yet another candy cane this Holiday season . . . not when it is this peppermint delight!
