Birthday Cake With Balloons

This is a last minute cake I made for one of my mother's coworkers. Unfortunately, my mom forgot to check on the spelling of the girl's name, and the spelling I was given was wrong. (The little girl's mother said her daughter didn't seem to mind.) The is a lemon cream cheese with the buttercream frosting. According to my mother's coworker, this was the best tasting cake I'd made yet; she said the cake melted in your mouth... guess it was the 1 1/2 lbs of butter. (No cake of mine is healthy.) ;)

Everything on and in this cake is from scratch. Lesson learned after making my first carrot cake... Get the manicure AFTER you grade up the carrots!! (Boy did I waist $20...)

Ahvon's Red Velvet W/cream Cheese Frosting 2

Everything on and in this cake is from scratch. This recipe is at least 5 generations old in my family. This/my family's recipe for Red Velvet is a four bowl, four layer receipe. One should never take shortcuts when making a red velvet. Baking veterans can spot the "imitation" cakes a mile a way. Remember, your cake is a refleciton of you. Besides, as I always say...FROSTING IS NOT THE ENEMY!!!

Ahvon's First Basket Weave 2

EVERYTHING is eatable. The fence and flowers were fairly easy to make, just a bit time consuming, or I should say, I didn't really have much time to focus on it as I would have liked.

This is SOOO much easier than it looks. I took classes at Michael's in Orlando, FL and I think this is one of the easiest things I learned to do, besides making roses.
