Spring Spiders

This little spider is perched on one of my favorite native blooms, commonly known as Spiderwort or Spider Lily. Don't the two make a perfect pair?

Catching Up

Wow, it's been nearly a month since I last posted. Well, I've been busy. As a catch-up, here are a couple pictures of the cake that ended up being the final resting place of those little cherry blossoms I made in my previous post.


The blossoms took a while to make, but the end result was perfect.


This particular cake was for a baby shower, hence the nest. Bird, nest and eggs were all hand made of fondant.


Actually, I think the cake would also work nicely for a wedding. Just replace the nest with another bird to make a pair.


Under all that pink fondant, there's a red velvet cake with cream cheese icing.

Cherry Blossoms

Here are some of the fondant/sugarpaste cherry blossoms I made for an upcoming baby shower cake. These aren't simple cutter-stamped flowers. I molded and shaped each one by hand. They take a long time, but the end result is something special.

Tiered Daisy Cake

Here's that tiered daisy cake I mentioned in my previous post. I think it turned out well.

Fondant Daisies

I just love daisies. I do believe they're one of God's most cheerful flowers. I made these fondant daisies today for a friend's anniversary cake.
