Reese!


This cake was done for Reese's first birthday.  The main cake is devil's food with vanilla buttercream, covered in vanilla fondant.  The stem, leaves, and bat were all made of gum paste.  I used the airbrush to add all color.  The smaller cake is a personal cake just for the birthday girl to dig into all by herself.  So that she could get nice and messy, the cake was covered in buttercream rather than fondant.  Again, the ghost and other accents were made of gum paste.  


Charity Auction

This cake was done for a charity auction to benefit my wife's alma mater.  The cakes were yellow cake with vanilla buttercream, devil's food with hazelnut buttercream filling and chocolate buttercream icing, and red velvet cake with caramel buttercream filling and cream cheese frosting.
