First Birthday Bonanza

I was asked by a Facebook acquaintance to make a cake for her son's first birthday. She gave me the details and colors and this is the result. The chevron stripes were difficult. I spent many hours working those out. I have learned a few lessons. I also used my silhouette cameo to cut the letters for the name and it worked so well with the sugar sheets that are created by Wilton. 

Relief Society Birthday Cake

I was asked to do the Relief Society Birthday Cake for my ward this year. I loved how it turned out. Everyone loved it. In the background are the gluten-free cupcakes from www.glutenfreeheaven.com which are absolutely scrumptious. 

My little boy is 1

My youngest turned 1 over the weekend. I made him two cakes. One for the birthday dinner and one for his photo shoot. He loves balls so his dinner cake was using the Wilton ball pan which was horrible. I followed all instructions and kept it in the oven longer than instructed and the middle still collapsed and it doesn't hold the ball shape very well. It is also very difficult to decorate the underside of the cake.

I learned a lot with this cake.

The next one was using the large rosettes which I just love. 

Here is my handsome little man.
