Bridal Shower Cake

My very own bridal shower cake! :)

Cow Birthday Cake

Bridal Shower Cake Sketch

I hope to make this for my very own bridal shower in the next couple of weeks!

Trial run for a wedding cake to come later....

 

The wedding cake is going to be 4 tiers, which is why there are four different designs on this one cake. This cake is 15 inches (it's a heck of a lot of cake!).

Bluebook Cake

For all you law school kids... I give you the Bluebook cake!

And the real deal:

Auburn University Cake

A birthday cake for the biggest Auburn fan I know (and the only one! Hah!)

This is one of my favorite cakes. Love it!

Juggling Cake

A birthday cake for a juggler!

Public Citizen Cakes

The cakes that broke my stand mixer. I got to make twins for the first time, but sheesh I'm pooped. They were for my work's 40th birthday. Check out Public Citizen.

Sweet Cakes DC is taking a much needed sabatical!

Sweet Cakes DC is taking a break until October 31, 2011

I have a few projects already scheduled between now and May which I'll complete and post photos of. I am too busy in the coming months with wedding planning so I will not be able to take on any other time commitments until after the big day. I will be ready and anxious to plunge back in next November!

Harry Potter Cake

I got to make a second cake of the Harry Potter variety! This one is Quidditch focused. The chest is from the scene when Oliver Wood first teaches Harry about the game of Quidditch. It has the Quaffle, the two Bludgers, and the golden snitch. This also shows the Nimbus 2000, Harry's first broom. The cake was chocolate-chocolate, yum!

Triathlon Cake

My friend works with the High Cloud Foundation. My friend is on the triathlon team and she wanted to honor them with a special treat.

Puffy Shirt Cake

This is a birthday cake for a huge Seinfeld fan. There is a whole episode titled "The Puffy Shirt." I like to think of it as sewing with cake :). It was a fun one.

 

Here it is in the show:

Pretty in Pink

The cake involved a new technique called brush embroidery. And I made a first attempt at buttercream roses:

Rockband Cake

Betty Boop Cake

Dying of cuteness...

For a baby shower!

But I almost liked it even more as just a simple pink and white cake:

Igloo Cake

My friend Monica wanted to make a cake while I was vacationing so here is our handy work:

 

From start to finish it was less than five hours of work, baking included, so I think it turned out really well. I may have converted a new cake decorator too! Great job Moni!

Hapy holidays!

Sweet Cakes DC is going on vacation! See you guys in 2011!

1st birthday

A gray cake for Grey's first birthday.

Harry Potter Cake

I was soooo excited to do this cake! I personally think it turned out perfectly. Call it my hommage to Harry Potter. :)

Just for fun

It's a little miniature three tier cake. It's not much taller than a soda can. 

Cleveland Browns Cake

A birthday cake for a Cleveland Browns fan:

Cuteness! Trying to fit the helmet on their son's head but it was a bit too tight of a squeeze. Kids get big so fast! I'm actually making his 1st birthday cake in a few days. Awwww!

Book Cake

A birthday cake for a man writing his PhD dissertation on the books in this stack. He wants to be a teacher, hence the apple.
