First Birthday cake

It is so nice to make a cake for one of my own kids once in a while. It is so much less stressful, I just baked a 9x13 cake and cut it into a 1 shape and frosted it with butter cream, so simple.

Roller Skate cake

With this cake I made a sheet cake and just cut it into the shape of a boot and then added wheels and stoppers. The hardest part was covering the wheels. I tried to frost them but they didn't quite look like roller skate wheels. I covered them with fondant and they looked much better.

Graduation cake

This was my first attempt at books. Not perfect but okay. I made the hat out of a cupcake and the NHS out of a cookie.

Cookie Monster cake

Cute!

Elmo cake

If I did this again I would have made Elmo's nose 3d like his eyes. You can't see it in the picture but around the edge of the cake I wrote the ABC's. Jacob loved it!

90th Birthday cake

It's not often that anyone gets aked to make a cake for a 90th birthday party! The cake is decorated with little fondant figures to represent his life and hobbys. There is a golf bag and hole, an iron foundry man, a tuba, a black lab and an old buzzard. The old buzzard was requested after they saw my Over the Hill cake. There are actually 90 candles on top. I was told that when they tried to light them the top of the cake turned into a little fire ball. The candles all started to melt and make a mess! It would have been funny to see.

Fire Extinguisher cake

The images on this cake were printed by the grocery store on edible paper. I made this cake at 3am so considering the crazy time that I made it- I am happy with it. If I had had more time I would have paid more attention to detail. Like making sure the red lines were straight etc. I made this cake the same day as a 90th birthday topsy turvy cake so I just ran out of time!
