Warhammer 40k

With this cake I became an artist ;) I hand painted in the logos with food coloring and the borders and the windows (the windows are hard to see in this picture but they are there) For those of you who have never heard of Warhammer 40k, it's a tabletop game (also a video game) that the birthday boy loves to play. It's a lemon cake with cream cheese/raspberry filling!

Red and White buttercream Roses

Buttercream roses are amazing and way fun to make!! I just got a job as a professional cake decorator and I was told to brush up on my buttercream skills. I will definitely admit that I am great at fondant and gum paste but buttercream was not my speciality. So I have worked hard and practiced, practiced, practiced! I've learned more about draping, borders, and flowers and I have found a new love for it! I would much rather make a cake with just buttercream rather than fondant because in my opinion fondant tastes gross! Without further ado here's some pictures of the cake! Hope you enjoy!!

Lemon cake

Here's a lemon cake with chocolate frosting! I have never been asked to make a lemon and chocolate combination before this but it was amazing! The tart lemons definitely compliment the gooey chocolate flavor!

Zebra striped baby shower cupcakes

Now these were fun to make! I probably always say that, I guess I love what I do. These were for a baby shower (they are having a little boy obviously by the boyish colors) All my client told me was the colors and the zebra theme so I had free range on these little beauties and that's what I love!
 I made 18 cupcakes so it was hard to fit them all in the picture but here's some of them
 I had a blast making the zebra onsies! Maybe I should become a clothing designer?!?.....Nah!

I took a couple pictures of the process of making the cupcakes because pictures of the finished product don't always show all the cool features that cupcakes have to offer, I decided to make the cupcakes zebra striped. I made a batch of vanilla cake and a batch of chocolate and alternated them to make some stripes.

I love bright colors, they definitely catch your eye! Hope you enjoyed the pictures and feel free to comment and ask questions :)
