Toy Chest

This cake was for a baby shower and a toy chest was chosen for the theme. We tried to incorporate special elements/toys that represent the new parents. Mom-to-be is from Vermont so we definitely had to add a stuffed toy cow and a Vermont state sticker. The Dad-to-be is very much into aviation so a toy plane was also included. The entire chest is White Russian Cake. Everything is make and/or covered with tinted white and milk modeling chocolate.

Salt Creek School House

This cake was created for the Salt Creek District 48 175th Anniversary Celebration. We decided to duplicate on of the first school houses and some of the figure in very formal school clothing.

The school house was made out of marbled chocolate and yellow cake with vanilla bean buttercream filling for the entire cake. All elements were created out of tinted and milk chocolate. So much fun to create!! Check out this article about the event!
