Another Baby Shower

Last baby shower for our best friends I did those cute baby face cake pops. This shower was at school so there were way more people there so I decided to try a regular tiered cake. Maybe I'd have more luck then the topsy turvey...I have to say this might be my favorite cake yet!

The bottom was vanilla with vanilla buttercream and the top was chocolate chip with a chocolate pudding filling.

Track Out Cakes

Most of my business comes from the people I work with. A sweet friend was having a suprise party for her daughter who was turning 17. She approached me about doing cakes for the party because she wasn't sure how she could manage to make the cakes herself without her daughter finding out. Of course I was more than happy to do it and even better I was tracked out so no school :o) I had a lot of fun experimenting with the Cricut again. I thought the grass was pretty cool!

Graduation

My best friend graduated from Dental School back in May and her mom wanted me to make a cake for her. I wanted to do something creative but I'm not quite sure about shape cakes yet so I decided to go with a flat tooth cake and tried dressing it up. It's not perfect but it's good practice, right? She also ordered some Smore's Cupcakes...super delish!

Marriage Send Off

We had a send off party for a friend at work who was getting married in the Bahamas. Of course I wanted to make her cake. Friends of mine wanted a topsy turvey cake for their anniversary and got me a Cricut as payment so I thought I would try it out on her. The bottom came out well...the top was a little iffy but it made it! I learned some lessons, got to practice with the Cricut AND at least it tasted good! The bottom was lemon cake with lemon buttercream and the top was strawberry with strawberry buttercream. This was also my first attempt with a tiered cake. Maybe I skipped a few steps ;o)

It's Been Awhile

I haven't posted on here in so long! There is a lot of catching up to do! I've started exploring the world of fondant and tiering so there should be some interesting things...let's start with my very first fondant cake! I gave this away as a birthday cake. It was Key Lime Pie and turned out pretty good! The fondant I made from scratch using a marshmallow fondant recipe from Wilton. I must say it really does taste so much better than the store bought stuff.

Easter Cakes

Continuing with the cookies and cream theme I've made a cookies and cream cupcake. It is covered in a chocolate frosting. The grass is vanilla buttercream. The eggs are mini eggs and the sunflowers, Oreo's!

Basket Weave

I found this technique quite fun even though it was tedious. My husband did a great job mixing the color to look like a real basket and this cake was DELICIOUS! A chocolate cake with Oreo cream filling. Yum!
