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.

Under the Sea - 5th Birthday Cake

A sweet little girl at my daughters preschool gave her mom a challenge. She wanted a dolphin cake and then changed her mind to want a pink fish cake. Her Mom asked me about my cakes and I suggested we do a cake with a dolphin coming out of the top and pink fish on the sides. She loved it but I took it a step further and did a complete "Under the Sea" theme. The sweet little girl loved the cake and it was so fun to do!! 

Happy Birthday Brooke

Wedding Cake - Navy Blue and White Hawaiian Theme

 

My neighbor got married and asked me to make her a cake for the event. She had a navy blue and white, Hawaiian Themed wedding. She asked for simple and showed me a few cakes that she liked. We came up with this and she was very happy.

 

The flowers are a gum paste / fondant blend and were super fun to put together.

 

The cake was my Very Vanilla Cake mix and we made it four layers with butter cream and strawberry filling. It was so so yummy!! I was also asked to be her photographer so I was lucky enough to be there for the whole event.

 

 

Congratulations to the happy couple!!
