Moms 60th

Thought I'd try the new petal/ruffle cake that is the new thing! Not perfect but looked so elegant for my moms party, so much better than the "black" dreary birthdays some people get turning older!!

6th Superbowl Birthday Party

This is a cake I did for a friend's daughter's 6th birthday. She was born on the superbowl - so her party this year was on the superbowl - she wanted a pink football cake :) So that is all I had to make sure to do - the football cake was a strawberry cake with vanilla buttercream - and the sheet cake was half white and half choc. Cake pops to go with the cake were strawberry cake dipped in choc - YUM!










My Neices FIRST birthday

My neice Josie turned ONE this past January! I tried freehanding the swirlies on the side of the top tier - very easy and cute! My 8in. sq. almost didn't fit on my cake stand my kids got me for Christmas...but we made it work ;) I have realized I need to take better pictures of the cakes! Sorry about my messy kitchen in the backround!




70th Birthday for my MIL husband

My mother in law's husband recently turned 70 and loves cars.....actually has an old car and if I knew anything about them I would know the make/model....But I don't. So she had a car cake pan she wanted me to make a chocolate cake from - and just with buttercream icing and the star tip - which I had NEVER done before! So I dove right in, They loved it and that is all that matters!










This is a photo of his actual car he owns and fixed up - so we made the cake to match!

Baby shower cake

A baby shower cake for a family that had 8 GRANDDAUGHTERS before they got their boy!(The family actually got 2 boys the same month, fun times!) So, I saw this quote on a cake on Pinterest....and it fit quite nicely for this shower! The bow is made of a 50/50 fondant/gumpaste mixture and sprayed with an edible shimmer!


Brynn's 2nd Birthday

For my daughter's 2nd birthday - I got my new cake cricut - had to try it out!!! Did a western girl theme, pink camo, rope borders and some paisley!






This is the entire cake covered in camo - it was so pretty - but had to put the next tier on!



The top cake was a strawberry cake with vanilla buttercream, the bottom cake was a white cake with strawberry filling, and vanilla buttercream! I also used the edible white shimmer on the top tier, not sure if the picture gives it justice! It was "girly"!

Gender Reveal Cake

Fun Gender cake - it was BLUE! As a rush to get this done, the SEE set before I could move it - it is a little off line:/ - my tactful hubby wasn't home, he usually helps me line things up!!! Love him for that;)

My Boys Birthday - 2011

My boys turned 6 and 4 last fall and LOVE Ben 10. I really had NO CLUE what I was going to do for a cake for their birthdays......somehow in the wee hours of the morning ideas come to me - I guess I am like a writer?! LOL! So anyone that knows anything about Ben 10 knows of his jacket - It's green with the white lines down the side, a black circle with a 10 in them. So I just put my kids' ages instead! I had extra green batter(yes the cake was GREEN!) and just threw it in a pan so it wasn't wasted....turned out I used the extra cake for the Omnitrix that Ben wears on his wrist for the middle of the cake - the boys LOVED it - the aliens that Ben transformed into were bought on amazon - just plastic figures.....sorry didn't feel like making them with gumpaste, anyone who has the time/talent to do that has props from me! This ended up being one of the most fun cakes I have made!
