Baby Boy Cake

I got to make this cake for my friend Erin when she had her baby boy Miller. 

A Few More Cakes

I have been making more and more cakes lately, which has been so much fun!!  I love the different things I've been able to try, and getting better at the things I know already.  My fondant is getting better and I feel like I'm finally learning how to do it so I don't give myself an ulcer.

Here is a cake that I made for my friend, Bridgette's birthday!

I wasn't exactly sure how to do the bow on top, but did learn a few things for next time.  Like I should have made more loops!   But I love how the rest turned out.

I made this cake for a triple bridal shower for girls at my work.  There were three weddings this summer, so we had a joint shower for all of them. 

And this last cake was for a 9 year old birthday party.  She told her mom she wanted a Japanesse theme birthday cake!! 

Anniversary Cake

I got a chance to make an anniversary cake for some amazing friends who have been married for 35 years.  It was an honor to make the cake and I really like the way it turned out.

Congratulations Les and Tina, you are a wonderful couple to look up to and I appreciate your friendship.

Wedding Cake

This last weekend was my first chance to make a wedding cake.  Scott's brother was getting married and I was the one to make the cake.  All in all it was a good experience, I learned some things about being more prepared more than one day before the big day!!  I literally stayed up all night to finish the cake, but the more I look at pictures of it, the more I like it.  So here it is.

I wasn't the one to put the flowers on the cake, which I think made it pop so nicely.  But the rest was me.  I feel like I'm learning lots about making cakes and I really enjoy the finished product! 

If you or someone you know needs a cake for a special occasion....please pass along my name!! 

Two Tiered Cake

This was my first two tiered cake and I must say it's not as scary as I thought it would be.  I love how this one turned out!!  It's for a 12 year old girl's birthday, it's so perfect for that!!

I'm trying to get the word out about my cakes, I'm thinking this could be a good side business.  Or something I can do after I have our baby.  I love the final products and with more practice it will all get easier.  I have 3 more cakes to make in the next few months and I'm anxious to show you!

Cakes

I am getting into making cakes these days.  I took a cake decorating class at Michaels last year, and have since taken two more.  It's fun to learn new things about cake decorating and then trying it out myself.  So I'm adding my cakes to my photography blog, it falls under the creative type heading I think.

Here are the cakes that I've made so far. 

We'll start at the beginning of my cake career. 

My first cake from my class. 

I made this cake for my parents in laws going away trip to Africa

This cake was made with left over colors from my previous cake class.  I really love how it turned out though, the colors are so cute. 

This was my final cake from my first cake class.  We learned the rose.

I made this cake for the last super bowl, in case you couldn't tell.

The next class I took was a fondant class.  This was my first try at fondant and buttercream.  I didn't really have an occasion for this cake but I just wanted to practice.

Here's my final fondant cake

I made these cupcakes so I could practice some of the new buttercream techniques that I learned

This is my most recent fondant cake for class, I really like this one.

I just finished this cake for a friend of mine's nephew.  I've never done a theme cake before.  I like most of this cake, but it's a little uneven.  Ah well, practice makes perfect.
