Number 8

This weekend I did a cake for my aunt, I ended up only having one day to make it. So, it didn't turn out quite as perfect as I would have liked. But I tried a new recipe that was AWESOME! Almost everything with this cake was new for me, so next time it will be better, I will learn from my mistakes!!

It was a topsy turvy cake. The top tier was Carrot cake( so yummy!) and the bottom was chocolate. I used cream cheese icing. And of course MM Fondant.

Cake #7

I did a wedding cake over the weekend and it turned out SO great!!!! I was so happy with it and the couple just loved it!!! I was so excited to be able to see how pleased they were! The bottom 2 tiers are fake and the top is the actual cake. It was a Cherry chip cake with Cherry Buttercream Icing and Fondant. It turned out gorgeous!! I'm so excited to see what comes next in the future!! I also have to let everyone know that my husband came up with the design of the R on top of the cake... I had a different design in mind and he just had to try this and it turned out the best!! I'm so lucky to have his help and input!

Kylie's Cake

This is my little cousin Kylie's 13th birthday cake. She wanted it to look similar to Heather's cake. I have to say this cake looks a thousand times better!! It's a topsy turvy cake. With Vanilla cake and Chocolate buttercream icing. And MM Fondant and decorations. It was fun and I am getting quicker at doing these cakes! So, that's nice that it doesn't take me 10 hours to make a little cake like this! Colors were Teal ( with Luster dust) and Brown!

I just couldn't decide on a couple pictures. Sorry, my son is in the background eating breakfast in some of the pics! :)

#5 Cake

This cake is for my little boy who is turning 1! I can't believe it! I feel kind of bitter sweet about it. On one hand I'm so excited for him to walk and have fun this summer and grow a great relationship with his brother and on the other, I simply can't believe that he's one!! Anyways, here is his cake!! This was my 5th fondant cake! I can't believe it, it feels like I have been making them forever!! It is chocolate cake with vanilla Buttercream and MM Fondant. With a Baseball Theme! This was a lot of fun to make and it was fast!! I got the idea for it from Pink Cake Box! They have great cakes!f
I must acknowledge that my husband Kevin, made the bats. He is so great! They look awesome!!! Thank you honey!!!

Done!!!

So, I pretty much finished Carmen's cake this afternoon, but the elements didn't turn out the way I had hoped so, I bagged it and went a different direction!! Kevin came home from work this afternoon and helped me with the bow a lot! I really appreciate his help!! So, here is the first version of Carmen's cake! It wasn't totally done, I hadn't put a border on it yet.

Basically the decals on the first tier didn't look so hot. It's alot harder to get them to look good when you are putting them on the side of a cake verses on a board. Also, I think I need to try a different icing for this, my icing kept getting air bubbles and it would mess the design up! This is the finished product!!! I'm VERY happy with it!!!! I think it looks more like her too!!

Carmen's cake

Here are the beginning stages on Carmen's birthday cake! I've had fun doing it but it sure has given me a run for my money. It's a cherry chip cake with cherry vanilla icing. And Marshmellow fondant!


The cakes turned out really well shaped. I got new pans so they turned out sooo even!
The two cakes with their thin coating of buttercream before fondant is put on.
The two cakes stacked and covered in fondant! This was a stressful process. I have never stacked before so it was a new experience! But I think they turned out pretty well!

Becca's Cake

So, as I said on my family blog it was Becca and Kenna's birthday's this last week and Melinda did a great job on Becca's cake! I thought I would post a picture of Becca and her cake on here since it is a cake blog! Not just my cakes but my families too! Melinda does such a great job she totally deserves recognition! So, these are pictures of MELINDA'S cakes. We talked today about going into business together when we live in Idaho Falls. Plus, we would have to add Trina to the list when she comes back from her super long vacation in Hawaii! Anyways, Melinda you rock!!!!
