Sweet Designs by Cortney

Very rarely do I do a cake that I absolutely just do not love, as I tend to be a bit of a perfectionist.  I have, however, had several that I just loved so much and would love to do over and over again.

The trout cake was a surprise I did for my husband's birthday.  We both love to fish, but he eats, sleeps and dreams it.  I took one of his (still packaged) top-water lures and put it in the fishes mouth.  Needless to say, he was surprised and thrilled to see it.

  This was one the most difficult deliveries I have ever made, which makes this cake so wonderful.  This was a wedding cake I did for a very sweet bride who was getting married at Rio Cibolo.  I had never been there before and did not realize there would be a 45 degree incline to get across the river bottom.  I was so stressed, the cake was  tilting and coming apart before my eyes.  In the end, the repairs were made and it was beautiful, they loved it.

I just adore the princess castle cake because it is what I would do for myself or my daughter, it's just so fairytale-like.

With the bass cake and the Dora cake, I was really able to utilize my drawing and artistic abilities, which I love to do, and I think they came out really well.

Who doesn't love Hanna Montana?  This is my second HM cake which has more of a pop star/rock 'n' roll feel.  I love the colors and fun energy it gives off.

I did the black & white & lime green cake and cookies for a bridal shower.  I think it all went so well together and looked really pretty.

Pink and black have really become popular for decorating.  Allie's 1st b-day cake, which I was told looked like a wedding cake, turned out really cute, as did Kinslee's.  I beleive that every one year old should have the best and biggest cake ever.    Allie's cake was fit for a "Princess"!

The Jungle cake I am really proud of.  I just love all the playful animals and the scene as a whole.  What a great theme for a baby shower.

  I love the way this cake came out!

This "Hot Pink Taylor Swift" acoustic guitar was for a little girls birthday.  She loves Taylor Swift and had to have a guitar cake. So cute.

This fireman's hat was done for a groom who works for a nearby fire dept.  He was able to loan me his actual hat so I could replicate it as close as possilbe, minus the goggles, and had me put their wedding date on the shield.

  The Alaskan cruise ship is by far the biggest cake I have done.  Coming in at just under 2ft long and standing well over a foot tall, this was a lot of cake, but so fun to make.

When you're turning 1 and your father is a fireman you should have the biggest and best first birthday cake ever, like a fire truck. 

I was structurally able to suspend this cake off the display board and attach wheels.  So awesome.
