Scary Ghost

This scary ghost was created for a 11 year-old boy so lots of blood was used. Blood was tinted white syrup which creates a great drip effect. Cake was white chocolate and milk chocolate marbled cake with vanilla buttercream filling.

This baptism cake was designed to coordinate with my client's invitation design and color scheme. Cutout applique dots were used to duplicate the design. The cross on top was dusted with luster dust for a pearlized look. The cake was yellow cake with chocolate fudge buttercream filling and chocolate cake with chocolate fudge buttercream filling.

Soccer Ball

A fun soccer ball for a 9th birthday party. French vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream was requested by the birthday girl. Cocoa powder was used to dirty up the ball and to create contrast.

This cake was for a surprise 30th birthday party. Party colors were black, sliver, white and purple accents which were then used for the color scheme of the cake. A sliver bow sat atop with a purple sugar gem and silver dragee broach. Cake was three different flavors, chocolate with raspberry filling, white chocolate with strawberry buttercream filling, and pink champagne with vanilla buttercream filling.

I was so pleased with how this cake turned out and how well it coordinated with the whole theme and look of the reception. Glass sugar tiles were made in shades of purple and fuchsia with gold leaf. Dome was painted with yellow/gold luster dust along with stenciling design which decorated the sides. Cake was spiced cake with pumpkin cream cheese filling and covered with white chocolate.
Created this surprise groom's cake for a Chicago Local 1 Ironworker. The buildings in the background represented buildings that the groom has worked previously on during his career. Cake was carrot cake with cream cheese filling -- the groom's favorite.

Construction Site

This cake was created to resemble a construction site and serve 125! It was a for a birthday party celebration for the founder of Westside Tractors which sells construction tractors. Cake was yellow with tiramisu filling, white chocolate with strawberry buttercream filling, and chocolate with chocolate buttercream filling. Cake was covered with a layer of milk chocolate. Tractors and rocks were created out of tinted white chocolate, dirt was crushed cookies and graham crackers.

Tractor Wedding Cake



This cake was created for a couple who had their wedding on a farm and loved the idea of an old rusty John Deere tractor as a topper. Pumpkins, bails of straw, apples in baskets, corn and fencing were added. All elements were hand crafted out tinted white chocolate with the tractor dusted with dark cocoa powder for the "dirty" effect.
