Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

I made this huge cake for my son's second birthday party. It was fun to make, we had a lot left over because we had about 50 people and this cake is good for 125 servings or more. The top layer was orange cake and the bottom layer was chocolate cake.

Day at the beach cake

A day at the beach was a birthday cake I made recently for a friend's wife. She loves the beach and chocolate so I made the cake coconut cream rum cake with ganache filling and frosting. All the decorations are handmade with gumpaste and fondant, and the sea shells are made with white chocolate. This is for 40 servings.

Marquesa de chocolate covered in chocolate ganache

This is my husband's favorite. I made it for his birthday this past December and we were so excited that we forgot to take a picture of just the cake, so this picture may not do the cake justice. It was delicious, I like to use only the best chocolate for the ganache. My favorite is Lindt sweet dark chocolate and Lindt 70% cocoa.
Size of this cake a square 10" good for 30 people (1.5"x 2" ea).


Tiramisu cake

This is a tiramisu cake, decorated with lady fingers all around. Could also use chocolate hazelnut rolled wafers, better known to me as Pirulines. Size is 10", good for about 25.
