Gymnastics Cake


This cake was for a little girl in gymnastics.  I didn't have very much time to make this cake so I couldn't make anything complicated like a balance beam- which would have taken a few days to dry so I just kept it simple and made the little girl doing a straddle.  Hopefully it was gymnastics enough. 

Teacher Appreciation Cakes




These cakes are far from perfect but all of the teachers loved them.  Jacob's teacher was even kind enough to cut the first book and share it with the class.  We made chocolate with Oreo filling and white almond with strawberry filling, YUM!

Nautical Cake

 Navy blue fondant is a very hard color to make, even worse than black. I used a lot, the whole bottle in fact, of Americolor navy food coloring and I had to mix in a little black to get it to not look like royal blue.  I need to practice a bit more to get chevron perfect but over all I like the cake.  This is for a baby shower but it could really be for any occasion.

I bought this onesie cutter about 3 years ago.  I have been waiting for the chance to use it.

Disney Frozen Cake




Several months ago I made a pink cake with petals and Aubrey loved it and so she requested petals for her birthday cake.  When she chose Frozen as the theme for her party she insisted that we still have petals on the cake and not just snowballs.  So here is Aubrey's Frozen cake- petals and all.

First Birthday Cake



 Well, I'm not much of a photographer.  I wish that I could get better pictures of my cakes.  I tried an outdoor shot to try to get better light but I ended up with a lot of shadowing, as you can see.  Perhaps a different time of day would be better??  Anyway, here's the cake.  Simple and cute!
