The scale of this car cake is
difficult to tell from the
photograph, but it is nearly
three feet long. It had a fully
detailed interior with fondant
"leather" seats and dashboard.
Here's another view.
This cake's always
popular. It's one of
the few I've made
more than once.
This Green Day album
cover cake was for my
daughter's 16th birthday.
The litter is nonpareils
painted gray with a few
blue sugar crystals mixed
in. And for the record,
those are Baby Ruths.
I made this one for a chili cook-off. I
placed it with the real chilis and fooled
quite a few people. This cake even
got a few votes as best chili. I later
made miniature versions as cupcakes.
This cake not only looked hot,
it tasted hot too - it was
chocolate habanero flavored.
Based on the bikini
cakes.
I made this baby onesie
and booties cake for a
Everything on this pirate's
treasure chest cake is edible,
including the sand, gems, and the
treasures inside. For the wood
look, I use chocolate fondant cut
into strips, carved with a knife &
painted for the faded/algae look.
This one was for a co-worker who was leaving. Over the
years she became attached to her office clock, and she
wanted to take it with her. So I made her a cake in the
image of her most valued possession. And yes, the cake
kept time!

Pirate Treasure Chest Cake

This lechon, or suckling
pig, is traditionally served
at important events in
the Philippines and many
other countries as well.
I thought I'd try something
different by doing a cake in
an aquarium. As always,
everything is edible.
This cheese wheel cake was
pretty simple but fun to
make. The rat was realistic
enough to cause a few
screams in the office.
A caterpillar cake for a baby
shower. I modeled it after a
popular musical children's
toy.
The classic Fisher Price
telephone toy. I made this for
my sister's birthday (if I put her
age on my website, she'd kill
me).
A lingerie party sounds like
fun, but I was only asked to
make the cake, not attend.
:-(
This suitcase cake was for a
co-worker who was moving to
North Carolina. The suitcase
came with a NC license plate
and some cruise tickets.
I made this for a friend's husband
who survived a heart attack a
couple of weeks before his birthday.
Twisted? Yes, but you have to spit
in the Devil's eye, eh? This one's
also featured on Cake Wrecks,
which I will take as a compliment.
I made this graphing
calculator cake for the
end-of-year party for
my son's 8th grade
class.
I made this Cheeseburger
Cake for an office picnic. (The
Cheeseburger's proximity to
the Heart Attack cake doesn't
mean a thing!)
Whether you call it a hoagie, a
grinder, a hero, or a sub, it always
goes great with a bag of Doritos.
Okay, so this little purse
cake is no designer bag,
but it's good for everyday
(or so my wife tells me).
This medical bag cake came
fully equipped with stethoscope,
syringe, blood pressure cuff,
and bandages.
I made this wine bottle
cake for a friend's
wine-and-cheese
themed bridal shower.
Army Battlefield Cake
This battlefield cake
included an M1A1
Abrams Tank, a
crashed jet, and a
burning building.
A 95th birthday cake
for a long-time fire
department volunteer.
The "water" is pulled
sugar.
The leather jacket and
slicked back hair show this
guy's ready to rock and roll.
This poodle skirt cake
included a 45 record. (For
any kids wondering what a
45 is, ask your parents.)

Can't you just smell the
salisbury steak, peas, and
mashed potatoes in this TV
dinner cake?

This cap and diploma graduation
cake was made for a high school
grad who will be attending
Dartmouth College. The cake
includes their mascot, Keggy
(best...mascot..ever!).

grad includes the grad's
tennis racquet and iPod.
