I've been decorating for about 5 years off and on usually whenever I can work a cake around my schoolwork and in the summer:) These are my favs for 2012:

This was by far my favorite cake to do. Though it was simple, but giving this to my older sister for her wedding was very rewarding...plus 100 cupcakes!!

I get to re-create similar designs again a few times for the 2013 wedding season,

 

Thanks for looking

Such beautiful cakes! It truly has been inspiring for a novice like me. I've only decorated a handful of cakes and these are my favorites for 2012.

This is my favorite cake for 2012 because it was made for a very good friends oldest daughters wedding,( the first one to marry of her 5 girls), I have had the opportunity to make all of their birthday cakes as children so was delighted when the bride contacted me for her wedding cake. Not a technically challenging cake but was thrilled with how keeping it monochromatic allowed me to put her favorite elements together in one cake, and it fit in perfectly with her decor and colors. It was also the first time I have finished the board and am now a convert on how it truly does finish off a cake.

This would be my next favorite because it is always great to see the reaction from the teenagers that receive this cake when celebrating their 16th birthdays and becoming of age to drive.

Two favorites:

 

First is an anniversary cake. I was given a photo of the original wedding cake and told to have fun with it. Original was white with black swirls, so I reversed it and added flowers that matched the brides bouquet.

 

Anniversary cake covered in dark chocolate ganache with white chocolate scrollwork. Gumpaste roses and carnations.

 

 

 

Second was a shower cake for triplets (the couple already have one son, the green little bird!). The cake took on a life of it's own and wound up over 6" high :)
