Merry Christmas To All!
Christmas time at work is usually easy to come up with a cake. I thought, how cool would it be to give everyone their own "present". So I did just that. I quartered 4 10x10 squares and individually iced and covered them. Every cake (12 in all) got their own bow. They were a HUGE hit with everyone.

Holly Jolly Snowmen
I enjoyed this one. Again, taking ideas from pictures I've found online I came up with this cake. The snowmen are all fondant and the writing is with a paint brush. I had the edible pens from Wilton but they faded and wasn't happy with them at all. I even covered the cake board in fondant. The tree is as simple as stacking different size stars on top of one another. This was very fun to make.

Sweet Dreams
This was the first cake I made for someone other than myself. I used a picture I found online as a guide as I was still starting out. As you can tell I kept it simple with this cake. I colored the fondant with a baby blue and I used a silver spray to give a bit of a sparkle. I figured out the hard way how much it flowed out. It's obvious which one I sprayed first.

Peace, Love, And Cake!!!
This was for a manager in my mom's office. His daughter was turning 11 and is in love with peace signs so this was a no brainer for me. I looked around on here and other websites and combined some of those pictures/ideas into one cake. I even tie dyed the cake batter. It came out amazing. I hope they enjoyed it.

Where My Peeps At?!
This was made using 2 10in rounds and 2 8in rounds. I tapered the top to make it look like a basket. I hollowed out the middle of the top layer to provide simulated depth. I piped the grass with green buttercream and used real peeps and robin's eggs. I had a lot of fun with this.
