Rachel's Princess Castle
I wasn't going to post this but figured what the heck! This was a nightmare!! My friend brought this decopac kit to me & asked if I could do it. I said yes. I will never do another kit ever again! Kiddikakes helped me big time & I'd like to thank her very much!! Thanks Laurel! I would have thrown it all away if it wasn't for her help. I'm not happy with this one at all. Live & learn right! Thanks for looking~

~ For The Bride Who Loves Yellow~
For my friend Jennifer who loves the color yellow. This is exactly how she wanted the cake. So glad to make her happy! :-) The easiest wedding cake I have ever done! All I had to do was bake the cakes, ice & smooth the cake, add ribbon & petals. Gosh, finally an easy one! Thanks for looking~

Fire Helmet For My Firefighter Dh Birthday~
This was a lot of fun!! Next time I make it I will shape the bottom of the helmet to look more like the real thing & use a larger pyrex bowl. I didn't get to start it earlier in the week because we were out of town. Next time I'll have more time~ Thanks for all the cool helmet cakes out there~ God Bless the Firefighters!!!

Lily's Baby Shower
This one was for my new cousin. It's my 1st baby shower cake & first fondant overlap (gosh that's hard to do!)!! I thought it looked more like a bridal shower cake so I uploaded there too. :-) Anyway... The babies name will be Lily that's why there are lilies on top. My cousin gave me a drawing of the cake that she designed. I matched her drawing pretty darn good. 8", 12" yellow cakes, BCI, MMF~ This overlay was hard to do! I don't know if I want to do another one. Tooo many boo-boo's!

My Finale Cake For The Wilton Fondant/gumpaste Course
It turned out ok. Still learning gumpaste. I should have done the streamers a lot thinner. I do not like covering a cake board with fondant. I'll never do it again. Why cover it with fondant when the fondant is just going to get hard, crack & break off? Does anyone agree?

Circles & Chinese Symbols
Well here it is!! Thanks so much to everyone that helped me find the symbols! A special thanks to KimAZ & Sharon!! I didn't think this cake was going to come together. My friend's DD wanted these colors & the symbols... I think it came together nicely, what do ya'll think? :-) Now on to the next cake! :-)

Teapot, Cups & Saucers
Thanks for all the teapot pics!! What an inspiration!! I had several boo-boo's but I guess in the end it came out ok. This cake is for my Mom's birthday~ She loves roses~ Everything is eatable except the dowel rod in the spout. My daughter helped me big time with this project! Thanks for looking~

~New Year's Eve Birthday Cake~
I've wanted to do a spaghetti cake for a long time! I needed an easy cake to do today because I'm sooo tired from all the other cakes I've done during the holidays this year! This is the easiest cake I've ever done!! Lemon cake, homemade lemon cream cheese icing, strawberry jam for the sauce, truffles (store bought) for the meatballs. Sooo fun to do!! Thanks to spottydog (Lisa) for her help! Thanks girl~ HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

Christmas Ornaments
Inspired by Grammasue!! Thank you for your idea!! These were a big job but fun too~ Toward the end I realized I forgot to make the hanger thingys.. good thing I had reeses peanut butter cups around! I baked the cakes 2 wks ago. I used caramel creamer instead of milk, let me tell you the scrapes were delicious! Decorated with MMF (covered), BCI, RI & Luster Dust~ I like the gold one the best~ Merry Christmas~
