Breast Cancer Awareness Cake


for Breast Cancer Awareness Walk 2010

The ladies walk for a cause, not for exercise, okay? However many calories they burned, they gained right back with this little gem. I was asked to make a Breast Cancer Awareness ribbon cake and somehow incorporate "boobies." This is what happened.

Cake: Fresh strawberry cake & chocolate chunk chocolate cake.

Details: Vanilla frosting, pink piping frosting.

Funfetti FOF Cake



(Fof is on the right.)

For Bryan Francis

Bryan Francis' birthday fell on the same day we were having a party at my apartment. So he so generously celebrated his birthday the night before, so he can attend our party, as well as all our friends. So I made him this cake. It's a somewhat impressionist drawing of his girlfriend, Stefanie Garcia, or "Fof" as we call her. She's awesome and stunningly beautiful. So making this cake version of her was a treat!

Cake: Funfetti cake with vanilla frosting and a layer of multi-colored chocolate chips inside.

Details: Black, red and yellow piping icing.

Everything Ashley Loves Cake

It was my best friend Ashley's birthday and even though I've been her friend for longer than 5 years, I have never been able to make her a cake. We were either apart, in school or abroad when it was her birthday. So, to make up for it, I made her a cake of EVERYTHING she has ever loved.

Including, but no limited to:

Cigars
Toast
Tiny Pies
Candy Corn
Her Adidas Tracksuit
Mushrooms
Babies (she wants a boy)
Michael Buble tickets (she had requested as a present)
Sour Cream
Big Gulps

2 giant white chocolate bars. 4 vanilla cookie straws.

Bounce House Cake



For Chaz Petruzzi

Chaz, my nephew, had his 5th birthday party at a place called Bounce U. It was a UNIVERSITY of bounce houses. And pizza. Pretty much the coolest birthday party ever. My sister RoseLyn asked for a bounce house cake with a slide. I had a lot of trouble with this one, I even bought another cake to replace it because I thought there was no way it was going to work. However, when I brought it to the party, Chaz was just so happy I made him a cake. And that made me happy. But no more pudding!

Cake: Chocolate cake, vanilla pudding. Multi-colored fondant.

Details: Red, green, blue, black and purple icing. Blue, green and white Airheads. Multi-colored gumdrops. Teddy Graham crackers, candy corn, chocolate wafer cookies. Fruit roll-ups, marshmallows, chocolate bars.
