Maddy's 7th Birthday

It has been a while since I have made any birthday cakes. My great-niece had her party on Saturday and I volunteered to make the cake for it. I have to say it wasn't too fancy, I used Wiltons wafers to make the decorations. But Maddy seemed to happy with it, she is the little girl in the purple dress. I really like the push-ups the kids loved them. They made clean up pretty easy. The photos show the cake after the pushups and before.



Just Look At His Smile!!!

Colton wanted a train cake for his party and I was thrilled. He originally wanted Spiderman so the idea of making a train was great. I thought it would be soooo easy. I didn't start it until about 6pm the night before I had to deliver it at noon. WELL! I was so very wrong. I learned a great deal while making this cake. Like, never get too confident, never use chocolate cake, it is impossible to keep the crumbs covered up and so much more. Everything I planned in my head went wrong. ..... But I delivered on time.... And he loved the cake. That is what it is all about.

Maddie's Birthday Cake

I made this cake for my great niece for her birthday.

I can't say I am getting any better at this, but it is fun.

My First All Over Fondant Cake

I don't think it is too bad for a first try.

What do you think?

My Grandson's 18th Birthday

When Ross turned 18, what a day! I baked him this cake, the main photo was taken by Ross' Uncle Mike (Hacker) 15yrs ago. The additions to the photo were made by his Aunt Sherry (Hacker). In case the cake is not real clear, I'll tell you what it says.

Happy Birthday Ross!

As you enter young adulthood.....

Close the door

gently as you go!

My First (and maybe my last) Wedding Cake

My nephew was married this past weekend. I was honored when I was asked to make the cake. I have never made a tiered cake and I am not sure I ever will again. It really tasted good and the bride and groom were happy with it and that is all that counts.

I also made this dress for the flower girl

Colton's First Birthday Cake

I decorated this cake and the cupcakes using Fondant. Colton's mom told me what she wanted and I tried to put it together. The little boy on top turned out looking better than I had expected. I have never tried to sculpt any characters. All in all I think it turned out okay.

I made this bouquet for the office. It lasted a very long time. Carnations are my favorite flower because they are so hardy.

_________

This is how I made it.

The center is oasis soaked in water & preservatives that came with the flowers from the grocery store. After I put the oasis on the cake plate I trimmed and pushed the flowers into the sides and top.

Make sure it stays moist and you will enjoy it for a week or more.

Baby Cakes - Blue

I made this for my nephew & his wife's baby boy. I filled the center with lotion, powder, ointment, shampoo ect. They loved it.

Hatbox Cake

This is a cake I made for a friend for her 50th birthday. After I got the hat cake made, I had no way to carry it. So I made a hat box. She loved this!
