Anniversary Cake

Colby's grandparents celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary! What examples they are to us all! This is the cake I decorated for them!

Birthday cakes!

Colby's mom's birthday was this week so I was asked to make her a cake! And of course I wanted to, I need the practice! So this is what I came up with for her! It turned out cute and I was quite pleased with it, for my first square tiered cake!

So this cake was definitely a learning experiment. My nephew Coleton turned 3 and they wanted a geo trax cake for him. So I had it all envisioned out in my mind of what I wanted to do. Of course, it's all easier said than done. It didn't quite go as I had expected and turned out to be a little harder than I'd hoped for. And it didn't help when the fondant I used was too soft, kept tearing and just was not very workable. I will never use that kind again! But in the end, if you don't look too close, it's pretty cute!

My first masterpiece!

For my hubby's 30th birthday, I created my first masterpiece! I had so much fun doing it, although it took all day painting and shaping! But it turned out awesome and I was quite proud! He loved it! He even cut his "stump" with an electric saw....it was funny! Anyway, I have been taking courses on cake decorating and am so excited to get started on making these my own little hobby/business. So, the practice begins! Soon, I hope to open up shop and sell! So, keep posted on my cakes and creations!

And, since my baby girl's birthday is the day after my hubby's, I made her first birthday cake too! My first time doing a basket weave and royal icing flowers, it turned out really cute and girly!
