The Flowers, Hearts and Rainbow Cake

One of my friend's daughters wanted a very specific cake. It must have a rainbow, flowers and hearts on it. I knew were the rainbow was going to go ... there was only one real place for it to go. The flowers were easy enough, but I had a hard time picturing where the hearts would go without it looking cluttered and chaotic. However, once I got the rainbow and flowers on there, the rest of the cake looked so empty. It worked out perfectly!

The Slacker Cake

Oh wait! That's just me ... I haven't posted any new photos in almost a year. I'm about to post most of the cakes I've made over the last year. I haven't been caking as much just because of school, church responsibilities, etc. I've made two this weekend and I really enjoyed it. I need to get back to caking more often, even if it's just for fun.

The Dinosaur Train Cake

So I only made the fondant pieces for this cake (everything but the clouds). She had a specific cake that they always do for birthdays, so she wanted to make the cake herself.

The Treasure Chest Cake

I made this cake for a church event where the theme was "treasures of the heart". I was extremely nervous, but it turned out really well. It's just chocolate cake with buttercream frosting for the base, then for the top I did rice krispie treats for the people who didn't want chocolate. The straps and "metal" pieces are all fondant.

The Logan's 1st Birthday Cake

I made this for my son's first birthday. The animals are all hand made out of fondant. Once again, my colors bled together a bit. Should have waited to pipe until right before, but there was too much going on.

The Valentine's Day Owl Cupcakes

These were the winners! Unfortunately, I didn't realize that fondant bleeds on this whipped cream frosting recipe. So the color bled a little bit.

The Heart Cupcakes

I was experimenting with ideas for a Valentine's Day cupcake order for 4 dozen cupcakes. This was not the winner, but they were delicious. The cake was a rich, dense chocolate chip chocolate cupcake with a chocolate whipped cream frosting with a chocolate heart on top.

The 25th Birthday Cupcakes

I am offically 25 years old. These are the cupcakes I made for myself.

The Ding Dongs

So I've been experimenting with new recipes/desserts lately. It's not exactly a well decorated cupcake, but I made homemade ding dongs. This was my first time filling a cupcake. They turned out absolutely delicious. Maybe this will give new meaning to "ding dong ditching". You've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

The Halloween Cupcakes 2

I made these for the annual Weber Family Halloween Party. I made them last year too, and a lot of them were the same or similar.







This one isn't the best picture, it's a brain. It didn't capture the detail very well unfortunately.
