Sushi Pusheen Cake
My nephew loves sushi and he loves Pusheen, so his request for his birthday cake was Pusheen wrapped up in a California roll (otherwise known as Susheen).
Swan Cookies
Because Mom and Dad’s 50th anniversary party had to be on Zoom, the attendees couldn’t have any of the cake. So I sent everyone cookies.
Big Time Bake
I’m back on the Food Network! You can watch me in the “Fantasy” episode of Big Time Bake.
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.
4th of July Entremet
Here's a little entremet I made for a 4th of July party. It's vanilla cake layered with cherry mousse and a cherry jam glaze on top.
Ancient Red Dragon Cake
Our love of Dungeons and Dragons continues! For her birthday this year, my niece requested an Ancient Red Dragon, guarding a d20, sitting on rocks that spell out “Roll for initiative.” At this point, I’m becoming something of a dragon specialist (see my Frost Dragon Cake and my Norbert(a) Cake), so this seemed well within my skill set.
Pusheen Cupcakes
If you haven’t figured it out already from the Rainbow Pusheen Cake, my nephew loves Pusheen. For Christmas, he got a Pusheen calendar that indicates that February 18 is Pusheen’s birthday. So naturally we had to have a party.
Rainbow Unicorn Pusheen Cake
What’s cuter than Pusheen? That’s right – Rainbow Unicorn Pusheen! Cute cakes aren’t generally my forte, so I’m pretty pleased with how this turned out.
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.
Bar Exam Cookies
My good friend just passed the bar exam with flying colors! To congratulate her, I made her these cookies with "Esq." over her initials and her bar exam score.
Frost Dragon Cake
My creative brief for this cake was a frost dragon from Dungeons and Dragons. Because no dragon is complete without a miasma of ominous fog, there is a dry ice fogger hooked up underneath the cake board.
Guardian Skywatcher Cake
For his 9th birthday, my nephew asked for Guardian Skywatcher from Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It was almost, but not quite, a total disaster.
Miss Fritter Cake
Look – it’s another Cars-based cake! And one of my best, if I do say so myself.
Clash of Clans Cake
For her 9th birthday, my niece had very specific requirements – a Level 6 Clan Castle from Clash of Clans with an Archer Queen and Barbarian King as well as archers and barbarians.
Schoolhouse Rock cake
My little friend Isaac loves numbers, so for his eighth birthday we decided he should have a cake based on My Hero Zero from Schoolhouse Rock.
Minion Chicken Coop Cake
While my mom and I were taking a cake class at the Wilton School, we had a very nice Skype call with my niece and nephew. They told us that they were planning to be minions from Despicable Me for Halloween. We also had a very entertaining conversation about whether or not they were building me a chicken coop. So I made the cake I was making for class a minion / chicken coop cake.
Carousel Cake
My grandmother lives near a beautiful old carousel from the 1920s. When we visited her when we little, she would always take us to ride it. When I was designing her 90th birthday cake, I got to thinking about riding the carousel with her, and this is the result.
Torchiere Wedding Cake
My friends were getting married at the Orpheum, which is a beautiful old movie theater from the 20s, so I was thinking art deco; I was thinking stage lighting; I was thinking theater curtains; I was thinking dusty elegance and timeless romance.
