Alice's Cake
This cake was for my neighbor who turned 91!! She's like a grandma to me so I wanted to do something special for her, especially since none of her family was in town. Just a very simple cake featuring her favorite color, pink! It was kind of a rush job and I hadn't done buttercream roses in literally years, so I was pleased with the way it came out.

Strawberry Shortcake
I did this cake for my niece's 4th birthday. She had been telling me for months that she wanted a Scooby Doo Mystery Machine cake, then about a week ago she walked up to me and said "PLANS!!! Have changed!" Apparently Strawberry Shortcake is her NEW new favorite. Strawberry. leaves, and bow are MMF, bottom and flowers are done in buttercream. Cake was strawberry with strawberry filling. My only regret is that green buttercream isn't brighter.

First Cupcake Tree
I did these little cakes for the women in my church. We had a potluck so I thought I would bring one of my favorite things CAKE! I didn't want to decorate a whole cake and my mom had just given me the mini cupcake tree as a gift so I opted for these little cupcakes. Lemon vanilla cake with 1/2 butter 1/2 crisco buttercream and edible pearls.

Frylock
This cake was a NIGHTMARE! I tried to many new things on it and it just fell apart. The lemon curd I made was too runny so the bottom the cake totally sogged through. Then it was supposed to be standing up but I had to lay it doesn because I couldn't figure out how to transport it safely. It was supposed to be covered in MMF, but I used different marshmallows than I usually do and my fondant was just moosh. Oh well, my nephew loved it and that's all that matters. Frylock is a character on his fave show.

Practice Cake
This is my friend and I's first time using fondant. I had one HUGE hole from where it stuck to my counter so we patched it and covered in gumpaste roses. Basically just playing since neither of us have had any training in using fondant. Learned lots of important things though, next time it will be better.

Cinderelli Cinderelli
I did this for my neices third birthday. She saw the wilton wonder mold pan about four months before her birthday and HAD to have a princess cake. She wouldn't stop talking about it. Unfortunately it was pouring rain that day and Cinderella got a little wet on the way to the ice cream parlor. Oh well, she still loved her.
