Feathers

This cake was supposed to be the big topsy turvy cake but the # at the party changed so she downsized. It is for 2 girls 13th birthday. One cant have red dye so we opted for feathers instead. It is a 3 layer 9" strawberry cake with marshmallow fondant. Cake looks little in all those feathers :)

Memorial Day Creations

Ray made 2 this weekend - one was a 2-layer 9" homemade strawberry cake with buttercream icing and strawberries on top.



The 2nd one was a 10x10 homemade white cake with tons of marshmallow fondant. Hamburgers, hot dogs, spilled lemonade. Plus watermelon and knife to cut with (only a boy would think of that detail) The grass is buttercream icing. Of course both were ideas copies from cakecentral.com

Topsy-Turvy Attempt

We had been asked to make a topsy-turvy cake. Ray had never used fondant to cover a cake so we werent sure how to attempt this. After a couple of website instructions - we attempted a 'small' version. It wasnt as bad as we thought it would be. The next one will definitely be taller. Still 2 levels I think but just double the height and a little wider size pan too. These were 6" & 5" pans. Overall I think it turned out very nice!

More Cakes

All Rays cakes are made with buttercream icing and decorations are from fondant.

This was made for a friends 8th bday



This was a request from a special friend. She needed a cake for a friend who was graduating form A&M with a meteorology degree. The tornado is made out of fondant.





This is a very special one - he made this for his Dad. We found lots of ideas on Cake Central and he combined lots of them. He let his brothers and sisters make the pills for the cake. Everything on top is made from fondant.



This was for his brothers 8th bday. The light sabers and stars on the side are made out of fondant. The flames are out of buttercream.
