Armoire Monster Cake

I made this cake for my sister’s 50th birthday party. It’s an armoire that is also a monster and also has other monsters emerging from its drawers.

Isaac Caboom Cake

Based on Duke Caboom from Toy Story 4, the figure on top of my Isaac Caboom cake was supposed to do a daredevil jump off the end of the cake. Like many of my cake mechanisms, it sort of worked eventually, but not as well as I had hoped.

Mr. Men / Little Miss Cake

I am not personally a fan of the Mr. Men / Little Miss franchise but my friend Isaac is. The cake itself is layers of thin sponge and lemon mousse.

Bluebird Cake

For her granddaughter’s birthday, my friend asked for a cake that somehow combined the themes of bluebirds and the universe. I came up with this cake that’s sort of a cosmic bluebird in a space nest with planetary eggs in it.

Fruit Ninja Cake

My friend Isaac is turning seven. He really loves the game Fruit Ninja and he really loves numbers, so I went for a Fruit Ninja cake that prominently featured the number seven.

Circulating Heart Cake

Some variation on a bleeding heart cake is a relatively standard feature of our annual Pumpkinfest. This year, I was trying to make a cake through which "blood" (cranberry juice) would continuously and visibly circulate.

Seasons of Love Cake

Two of our dearest friends were getting married and we got to make the cake! Being the incredibly brave and trusting souls that they are, they gave us a free hand. They didn't have any idea what the cake was going to look like until they showed up for the wedding! If that's not trust, I don't know what is!
