Get in. Get out. Get away.

The Academy Awards are tonight and I'm going to a party. I'm not super into The Oscars, but I do enjoy a party. I figured I'd make a Drive-inspired cake. Yes, I know it was only nominated for one award, but it's my pick for best movie of 2011!

I decided to go with the jacket Ryan Gosling wears in the movie. Here's a picture of it if you're nuts and haven't seen the movie yet.


Here's my cake. I added a diamond texture to the fondant base and some pearl dust all over to match the jacket.

The Eighth Wonder of the World

Four years ago I made Mike a King Kong cake for his birthday. Well, I attempted to make one. This was before I took any classes, so the cake was a hot mess. It started melting in the car. It just didn't look good.

Here's a picture of the cake. I post it with great hesitation!


It's terrible, I know. That cake has haunted me ever since. This year I decided it was time for a King Kong do-over. I'm happy to say that this one turned out waaaaay better.

A Race Through Italy

Another one of my favorite customers is @GenSpin. She is one of the sweetest and most positive ladies I know. She wanted a Cars 2 cake for her son's birthday. He loves Francesco from the movie, so she wanted an Italian touch to the cake. I went with a race through Italy theme with famous monuments from the country. Also, the race track is in the shape of a "5" because that's how old her son turned.

Treasure Huntin'

I love pirates. I mean who wouldn't want to drink rum all day and look for treasure? I always enjoy making a pirate-themed cake. This one was for a co-worker. She sent me a bunch of cakes she liked and I just combined elements from them.

Freaky Just Got Fabulous

@VS_Jess is one of my favorite customers! She's also my hair flower/bow lady. She's just an all-around awesome lady! I lovelovelove making cakes for her, especially for her daughters because they get so excited. Totally makes my day.

This was a Monster High cake I made for her oldest daughter.

Hello Pretty

My lovely friend and co-worker, @fauxamor, celebrated her birthday back in November. See, it's been awhile since I've updated this blog! She loves many things, but some of her favorites are unicorns, Hello Kitty, the color pink and Rob Pattinson. I combined all those things for one girly, sparkly cake!

Fight On!

I give one of my co-workers a hard time every time she orders a cake. Mostly because she gave me a guilt trip when I couldn't make her daughter a birthday cake one year because I was at Comic-Con. It's all fun and games and she's a frequent customer so I don't sass it up too much.

Her nephew's birthday party was the day of a USC game, so that was the theme for the party. I think her nephew was just turning one, so it's not like he cared. haha I made a football cake with the school logo.
