Some early pictures

I know I will look back on these fondly (and probably with horror, wondering what compelled anyone to hire me) one day, but right now its a small portfolio.

During the terrible weekend where it seemed like the entire city was going to flood in Nashville, we were stuck in the house and I got a little cabin fever. As a gift to a friend of mine, I had promised her an owl cake for her owl-themed baby shower. They were waiting to find out what they were having and the invitations read “Whooo is it?” Cute! 

Anyways, in the midst of the flood I came up with this idea and did a practice run to see how well it could be executed. This is one of my favorite cakes so far and my first attempt at something mildly sculpted.

A fantastic combination of white chocolate apricot cake with white chocolate butter cream.

This was my first PAYING client! A wedding shower cake for a friend of mine.

My husband’s 30th birthday was a huge bash at our house. We went all out with invitations to the mustache-themed party. Bands, tents, and out of town friends made this an unforgettable event. In addition to playing hostess, I put together this tiered mustache cake, complete with chocolate pops to finish the look.

This was my first cake ever attempted. My sister-in-law’s baby shower was nest/bird  themed. The other girls did a great job with all the other decorations of feathers and pink & brown centerpieces. I had to do the nest twice - so completely clueless about everything! Lots of nerves but I picked up enough from other photographs that it still came out great.
