I Love Cows!

So, I wanted to come up with a fun idea for my older brother's birthday.  As I took his kids shopping for presents, this idea came to me.  His daughter wanted to buy him a t-shirt.  Well, she picked out a shirt that basically said "I Love Cows" ("Love" was replaced with a picture of a cheeseburger).  Well, I decided to make him a large cheeseburger......

Presents, Presents, and More Presents

 What's a birthday without presents???  The brown and pink cake pictured above was requested by a co-worker.  She wanted a cake for her mom's birthday with the "big" bow.  The cake is covered in fondant.  The polka dots, ribbons and bow loops are also made from fondant.  I make the bow loops a few days in advance to allow enough time to dry properly.  This is one of my favorite cakes!  LOVE IT!!

 The three cakes above were made for an 18th birthday party.  The same techniques were used as were used with the brown and pink present.

This 3-tiered cake was the FIRST cake I ever attempted.  (Nothing like starting small and simple ha?)  This was for a surprise 30th birthday party.  This cake was all chocolate!  Chocolate cake....chocolate filling....

chocolate, chocolate, chocolate! 

It's a boy!!!!

A 3-tiered cake for a beautiful baby boy!  Again, I had full creative control with this cake.  The cake topper is a sculpted teddy bear.  The entire cake is edible.  White cake, butter cream, and covered in fondant.  

Happy Birthday Grandma Lu!

So, we will start with my most recent cake.  I made this cake for Grandma Lu's 80th birthday party.  What a milestone!  So, congratulations to Grandma Lu!  I basically had all creative control over this cake.  I knew it should either have something to do with flowers or birds, and I chose flowers.  It is a basic vanilla cake, filled with butter cream and covered with fondant.  The entire cake is edible.  All decorations were also made of fondant, and the piping is done with butter cream as well. 

Welcome!

Welcome to my blog!  A few people have been asking me to start a blog showcasing my work.  One of my past-times is making cakes.  A few years a ago I became a fan of the cake shows you can find on Food Network and TLC.  One day I thought to myself "I can do that."  Well, I tried it once, and I haven't stopped yet.  I will start adding my photos with a description of the cake(s) and any other information I decide to add.  On that note....enjoy and "Let Them Eat Cake!"
