Birthday cakes

I made a two tier Trukfit cake for my husband's birthday. Trukfit is a brand for clothing that rapper Lil' Wayne has, my husband is a big fan of his so I thought this would be the perfect cake for him. Made the topper out of royal icing and the cheetah print truck.
The top tier was a marbled cake with Kahlua mousse covered with buttercream and fondant. The bottom tier was a marbled cake with a vanilla mousse and strawberry filling with chocolate buttercream and covered with fondant. This was a really fun cake, and seeing my husband's expression when he saw it was worth all the hours I  put into it.
 
Here I made my sister in law a birthday cake. She's only 6 years old and she wanted a princess cake made out of strawberry with strawberry filling. I covered it with SMBC and fondant accents. She loved the cake and it made me happy seeing her show it off to her friends.
 
One of my very good friends asked if I could make her son a Thomas the tank engine cake with a simple RIT. It was a carrot cake filled with cream cheese frosting and covered with buttercream.
 
 

Mickey mouse birthday cake and cupcakes

Here is the 1st or my decorated. It was for my son's 2nd birthday party. I made an 8 inch cookies and cream cake decorated with a mickey mouse hat made out of a wilton ball pan and covered with fondant. To go along with it I made mickey mouse cupcakes to go along with it.
 I made the mickey mouse cupcakes with Oreo cookies. I also made the cupcake stand myself.

How it all started

My name is Leidy and I am a mother of a very energetic, but wonderful and sweet little boy. I have been married for almost two years now to the most wonderful man on earth. Ever since I had my son I started thinking about the many cakes that would come for each celebration.  
        When it was time for his baptism I decided that I would order a cake from a local baker. The cake was nice but it wasn't exactly what I imagined so I decided that every celebration after that I would be the one to make the cake. Half a year later here I am thinking about starting my own cake business.
