This is a 3 layer 9" red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting covered in rolled fondant. Pine branches hand painted with food color, fondant holly leaves and pine cones, gumpaste flowers and holly berries and royal icing snow flakes.
This was a cake I made for my mom's 50th birthday. She is into scrapbooking so I thought it would be neat to do a 'scrapbook' cake for her. I used edible photo images printed on rice paper that ranged from her young childhood all the way to present time. I wish I had had more time to put into it because I think it could have been a lot better. I was doing so many other things for the party that I didn't have as much time as I would have liked. She loved it though and that is what matters.
I made this ice cream cake for my daughters 2nd birthday. The pictures didn't come out good but the cake was cute and really good! Chocolate cake layered with moose tracks ice cream and fudge and iced with whipped cream.
2nd Birthday cake. 3 tiers of chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream frosting. Covered with Marshmellow fondant, gumpaste flowers and fake butterflies. Eyeore molded out of Fondant.
I made cupcakes and a chocolate genouis cake with a Mocha frosting and kaluha soaking syrup. It was good. The cupcakes were really cute. They were for a friends graduation party.
This was for my daughters 5th birthday. There is a bird in a nest sitting on eggs. A caterpillar on the cave (with little eyes peering out), a frog and a lobster in the water (she wanted a lobster for a pet this year!), a snail, and lady bugs. The cake was good too, lemon with one half cherry filling and one half strawberry cream filling. MMMM!!!
Thanks for visiting my cake blog! Here you will see most of the cakes I have made since I began decorating in 2003. When I first started it was more out of a feeling of obligation to make my kids' cakes homemade but I soon came to love it and now look for any excuse to make a cake! Your comments are welcome and appreciated.
