Here is a big one guys!! Here is a few of the cakes that have been keeping me busy, please enjoy and feel to leave a comment with what you think.

This a cute little birthday cake I whipped up. It was using left over fondant and flowers with very few new pieces. It actually turned out to be very pretty and all the girls just loved my sugar flowers.






This one is a birthday cake I did for our Head Technician at the Animal Hospital. She's a HUGE "So you think you can Dance?" fan. So I modeled the lettering on her cake to resemble the logo.

The "bling" at the bottom is crushed jolly ranchers that were steamed to regain their shine.




For Brittany's 22nd Birthday she told me that she loved Italian grapevines. So i colored her butter cream icing to an antique white, and added some gum paste grape clusters and accented with some swirly vines.






A Paid Order that turned out just as the client asked! The color is a mauve with chocolate and sky blue accents.








Another paid order for a Red Sox fan. He wanted a red velvet cake with cream cheese icing. He wanted a rough side finish and little red Socks on the top.














This one is a wedding shower cake I made for Kristen who married her Prince Charming Ben in a gorgeous destination wedding. They are both super sweet people who deserve the best, so I made them an elegant white cake with red carnations on the top of the 2 tier cake, with a smaller grooms cake with some baby's breath on top.



















Sue's birthday was in the spring so I decided to make her a spring bunny.

He's pretty cute.

















For Deanna's September cake I decided to go fishbowl!
I've never done the embroidery technique and obviously I need more practice, but it was good to try something new. Our house was so humid I could not get the seaweed to dry, but it laid out nicely.






So there is a quick peek at what I've been up to. More cakes every month and I'm also taking orders int he New England area now. Email me at cakeitorleaveitbakery@gmail.com to place your order today!!

Brief update

My little sister came to visit me in December for her birthday and I promised her one of my cakes. So while hanging out I worked on this thing for her. She loves bright colors and so I went a little bold.

Vanilla cake with a Bavarian creme filling, iced in buttercream, and covered in vanilla fondant. I put some fondant and gumpaste candles on there with bright colored flowers.

It was cute and colorful and she really liked it.



So it looks like I forgot to post some of my recent cakes. Well Halloween is my absolute favorite holiday so i really wanted to do a big fancy Halloween cake, but my schedule was way too full. So i did this little one tier cake for us at home. Fondant bats and ghosts fly around with purple swirls. The board is covered in black fondant cobblestone, just to play with some texture. The cake was a dark chocolate cake with orange cream cheese frosting. So yummy.


More updates in the future! I've got a double birthday cake that I'm waiting on pictures and a valentine's cake, and a another birthday cake in February. Not much left for January but for me to replenish some of my supplies and I'm looking forward to taking another class with my mom...as soon as our local cake store puts out a class schedule.
