Zach's famous volcano cake. I gave Doug grief that he didn't get a good shot of the cake, so he's work some photoshop magic and make me a prettier version, so sit tight. Below, a shot of the cake in action, thanks to some dry ice.

Vanilla buttercream with vanilla cake. Chocolate transfers for the letters and dinosaurs.

I've been slow in updating here - but have been baking up a storm! This is today's creation, for Isabel's 7th birthday. It didn't turn out exactly the way I imagined, but I do love orange and love the white/orange contrast. I've also decided to stop sweating about writing on the cake and decided to go big and weird. Much more to come, at some point!

I made this enormous cake for Ethan's first birthday (I guess that part is pretty obvious!) Vanilla bean cake with apricot filling and vanilla bean buttercream. Decorations were made out of colored white chocolate and dots were colored buttercream. More photos to come - I haven't uploaded mine yet, but Ethan's mom send me this shot.

My friend Cathy came by this weekend and we had some fun with leftover buttercream and cupcakes. I can't decide which are my favorites, but I really love all the ones that are smoothed into a cone but there there's the red one with green dots.. hum.. what's your favorite???
