Baby Shower Cake with Baby Chuck Taylors




This cake was truly adorable! It was two tiers with vanilla cake as the bottom tier and strawberry cake for the top. The cake was iced and trimmed using cream cheese frosting and all the additional accents were made using fondant.

This was my first time making shoes using fondant and it was definitely challenging the first go round, but I learned a lot, so I'm sure it'll go a little easier next time. The bow, polka dots and daisies add some added excitement to this cute cake.

I hope this cake provides a good memory for the mom to be.

Strawberry Cream Cheese Birthday Cake






This is a three layer strawberry cake was baked using fresh strawberries and filled with strawberry cream cheese. The cake was frosted with cream cheese icing and decorated using black cream cheese icing and pink fondant. This was my first attempt at working fondant. I had to make the bow twice, but thanks to Edna (http://www.designmeacake.com/id67.html), I had a step by step tutorial that was easy to follow.
