I'm just going to go ahead & post all the cakes I've done from the beginning of the year up until now, all in different categories. I figure this way, you won't miss anything & I'll feel a little more organized! If you want to see my complete gallery of photos, check out my website: www.simplysweets.info.
Started off the new year with this cake... 1/2 sheet cake (1/2 chocolate, 1/2 vanilla) with buttercream frosting & decorations. Sides have diamond press w/pearl dragees & edible image on top. Disappointed w/edible image because it came cracked & I had to make it work. Oh well!
My papa loves coconut cake & has been asking forever, so I finally got some down time & was able to make one! 4 layers of white cake with coconut mixture spread between & whipped cream-like frosting, covered in more coconut!
Been dying to do a golf cake & finally got a request for one! 8" white cake w/raspberry filling & BC frosting. Sand traps are brown sugar; ball, flag, and argyle squares are fondant.
Made these two 1/2 sheets for my Pastor's birthday fellowship - he's a big Bills fan! First is 1/2 sheet chocolate cake frosted in buttercream. Striping on border w/ logo done in piping gel. Second is 1/2 sheet (1/2 strawberry, 1/2 confetti) frosted in buttercream with sprinkles.
First time making a cookie cake. 15" x 20" cake decorated in BC with fondant daisies. Ask about pricing & other size options if interested; available in chocolate-chip only.
Bottom tier: 10" yellow cake; Top tier: 6" chocolate cake. Both tiers filled & frosted in buttercream w/fondant dots, ball borders, and name. Koala bear & 1 topper are fondant as well. First time making a fondant figure... very happy with it!
8" confetti cake frosted in buttercream. Penguin & border are fondant.
Made for my twins' 2nd birthday party. They are so into puppies, so that was the theme. Cake made to match invites/party supplies. 9" yellow & chocolate checkerboard cake (so cool!) filled & frosted in buttercream. Paw prints, border, and puppies are fondant.
10" vanilla cake w/chocolate ganache filling & buttercream frosting. Peace sign & smiley faces are fondant. Flowers & border are tie-dyed fondant.

1/2 sheet yellow cake frosted in chocolate buttercream with chocolate ganache poured over. Chocolate-covered strawberries & fondant roses on top; white chocolate writing.
Last minute order... 8" vanilla cake covered in fondant w/fondant accents.
One of my favorites, because I loved (and still do) playing this game as a kid!! This was a very last minute order, so unfortunately I didn't have the time to do half the details I wish I could've included! Bottom tier: 9" chocolate cake w/ custard filling. Top tier: 6" vanilla cake w/custard filling. Both tiers frosted in buttercream with fondant accents.
LOVED this cake - although transportation was a little nervewracking! Bottom tier: 10" chocolate cake, Middle tier: 8" chocolate peanut butter chip cake, Top tier: 6" vanilla cake. All tiers filled & frosted in chocolate buttercream w/Kit-Kats & Reese's Pieces.
10" & 6" tiers - both marble cake w/cookies & cream filling & BC frosting. Polka dots, flowers, and banner are fondant... topper is marshmallow pop.

My 2nd request in 1 week for a red, black, and white cake! Popular combo I guess! 9" & 6" rounds - both tiers banana cake with banana pudding filling & buttercream frosting. Fondant accents & stars with silver dragees on bottom tier.
6", 8", 10" square tiers. Birthday girl designed her own cake & gave me the drawing to go off of. Bottom tier is marble cake, other two are confetti. All filled & frosted in buttercream. Fondant flowers on bottom tier & top tier has pink dragees & edible diamonds.
Used the Wilton pan for this... marble cake with buttercream frosting.

My first attempt at a topsy-turvy cake... turned out alright - I made some mistakes & can hopefully make a better one next time! Bottom tier: 10" vanilla cake w/raspberry filling. Middle tier: 8" chocolate cake w/custard filling. Top tier: 6" carrot cake w/cream cheese filling. All tiers covered in fondant w/fondant accents; candle topper.
They also order a chocolate platter to go with the cake: 20 chocolate strawberries, 10 chocolate marshmallows, 25 chocolate pretzels, and 20 rice krispy treats. All with white, milk, and dark chocolate.
Then made a "groom's cake" - 10" & 6" square vanilla tiers frosted in custard w/lady fingers around cake. Filled with fresh berries & tied with a ribbon.
I also made 90 mini cupcakes... some almond w/whipped cream frosting & sugared fruit on top. Some chocolate w/chocolate buttercream & Reese's cups on top. Some chocolate mint w/chocolate fudge frosting & Andes on top. Some almond w/cream cheese frosting.
And finally an assortment of desserts...chocolate-covered strawberries, chocolate fruit cups, chocolate-covered marshmallows, chocolate-covered pretzels, and chocolate-covered Oreos (not shown).
