Serious Ju Ju

I made this cake for a skateboarding ministry here in Montana. They celebrated their 2 year anniversary this July and wanted a little something to help celebrate. They are a great Christian Ministry that helps bring the gospel to skateboarding teens! The lizard is their logo, and their colors are black, white, and red. Other than that and that they wanted a skateboard, they pretty much gave me free reign for the design. I made it cherry flavored. The white is buttercream and the black and red are fondant.

Bonner Wedding

Congratulations Eric and Alyson! My friends got married on May 22 and I got to make their cake for them. It's always fun to make cakes for friends and it's even better when the result is what they were hoping for! This picture is the final result.


Cakes are such a process, and while I love to try and document each step, I rarely remember until it's too late. So the picture below is the only one I captured and it's just the cake before the black fondant was added. Each tier was a different flavor. Starting from the top: French Almond with strawberry, Dreamsicle, Kahlua Fudge with Strawberry, and French Almond with Cherry. The little circles took a LOT longer than I thought they would but maybe that's just because I wanted it to be perfect and cut each circle to fit a specific spot. It was a great experience though and probably the first cake I was truly happy with in the end.

Black & White Birthday Party

I made some cupcakes for a friends birthday. The party was Black & White themed so I stuck with traditional buttercream frosting for the white and then use black frosting and black fondant for the details. The cupcakes are Gluten-Free Red Velvet with Vanilla Bavarian Cream Filling. They turned out good and were so decadent and rich!
