Birthday Cake
To get some practice in I made a cake for someone's birthday at work. It's vanilla with cookies and cream filling with BC icing. I wanted to try the basketweave which I thought was pretty easy but the buttercream was too soft..again. I'm going to try another recipe. It didn't turn out like I had visualized but everyone loved it. I guess we're our own worst critic.

Pirate Cake
This is the very first cake I ever did (which was last year)..can you tell?? This was also a disaster. I took this picture right before the cake split in half much to my horror one hour before the birthday party! Obviously I knew nothing about constructing a cake and did not know about this website. It was for a friend so she was fine about it, she got another cake from the bakery. Her son wanted another pirate theme party again for this year's b-day. I did it differently this year..see other photo.

Pirate Ship Cake
This is the second cake I've ever done. It was for my friend's son's birthday..pirate theme. I'm thankful it came out the way it did and I got it to her house with no problems. The buttercream icing was a bit soft and it was hot out so I kept putting the cake in the frig for a few minutes and the icing to harden it up a little so I could make the borders. I should have taken a picture of what my kitchen looked like after I was done the cake!
