Teapot Cake

This teapot is actually hollow like a real teapot. Made out of chocolate then covered in fondant, the lid comes off to fill with candy! The base (table) is the actual cake! It was a fun challenge to take on!

Daisy Wedding Cake

This cake not only looks good, its taste good. I finally found a winner for white cake! LET ME TELL YOU, IT TASTE AMAZING. And rightfully so, it has a colossal amount of butter. I make all my pound cakes from scratch. Recipe below (for this cake, 10 inch x 6 inch rounds, I double the recipe)!
Cream Cheese Pound Cake

3 cups granulated sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) margarine
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
8 ounces cream cheese
6 jumbo eggs, beaten
Pinch of salt

Begin with softened cream cheese, margarine and butter. Cream the cream cheese, margarine, butter, sugar and add beaten eggs and flour alternately. Mix very well. Pour into greased and floured tube pan. Bake in cold oven at 300 degrees F for 1 hour and 15 minutes or when cake pulls away from sides of pan. Frost when completely cooled or leave plain.

Mickey Mouse Cake

My friend had a Bridal Shower with a Disney theme (engaged at Disney Land) And so I asked if I could make a cake for it! The hardest part was trying to pipe on the Disney Font by hand.

Princess Cake

I asked to make a cake for a friends, daughters, Sweet 16 party. It was a princess theme, and I have tons of fun designing this cake! It really came to life once all the jewels were on. There were a few mishaps including the bottom cake attempting to slide off its stand... I DON'T THINK SO. I went to 3 Michael's to get Duff's new silver graffiti spray....all gone within a day. Who in Hades ran around and bought up all the silver (no other color was out) in idaho just to spite me. Needless to say it was my first time using the silver cake powder/ paint which was.... interesting.

Strawberry Shortcake birthday

My Oldest girl turned three and we had a Strawberry Shortcake Birthday Party. My sister designed the Invites for me check out her blog HERE! We were supposed to do it outside but the weather was cold and windy. Also, the balloons were supposed to have leaves so they would look like strawberries, but they didn't turn out like I wanted and I didn't have time to change it!

Princess Cake!

I got the chance to make another cake for birthday party! I LOVE getting the practice because it really easy to forget when you aren't constantly making cakes. Its rare for me to whip up some frosting just to practice making flowers on my own time. Im totally rusty but hopefully I can find ways to brush up and get better at my cakes! When I saw the picture in the wilton book, they make it look so much easier than it is...I think they cheat and use royal icing!

C's Shower

We had yet ANOTHER baby shower! This time I made Bottle cookies for favors (next time I won't be so lazy and I'll outline in white with oz. lines and make the nipple its own color because they just looked like glue bottles to me). And I got to make a cute rattle cake, its cute enough but I wasn't too happy with how it turned out, again, due to laziness on my part!

My First Cake Order

A friend asked me to make a cake for her husband’s birthday! It was the first time I had been hired out for a cake job. I was nervous when she asked because the only cakes I had decorated in the last years have been Callie's first and second birthdays. It ended up being tons of fun and I really enjoyed getting more practice in. She asked for one like I had made in my cake classes, but I wanted it to be better than that, I think it turned out great and was way cute!

My baby is 2!

Second Birthday, My Little Pony theme. I used the Wilton Precious Pony Pan for a pattern, made two layers and then carved away! I then got my work out by mixing all the fondant colors!

My baby is 1!

The theme was polka dots! For the party favors I made little bags out of the bubble bags and filled it with these M&M favors, bouncy balls, stickers, suckers, and other round candies and such!
