Carrot Cake
I made this cake from a duncan hines carrot cake mix. Turned out super yummy and moist. It could use some raisins and nuts though. I used my fave cream cheese frosting from this sight. This time I didn't sift the powdered sugar (lazy) so that's why the frosting isn't as smoooth. It still tasted yummy though!

Blue Cake
SO wanted a blue cake. . .so a blue cake it is. This cake gave me fits from the beginning. Was out of eggs so had to run to the store. The top crumbled into pieces so I puzzled it back together and flipped the cake upside down. The marshmallow buttercream recipe I tried just tastes like butter, didn't like it and didn't know what to do to fix it. Hated the shade of blue and orange I came up with. Oh well, that's what practice cakes are for, live and learn. Suggestions would be appreciated!

Ice Cream Birthday Cake
This was my first cake I made for a friends birthday. I got the basic idea from a cake I saw on CC. It was a strawberry/white marble cake with cream cheese filling and buttercream frosting. I learned that it would have been better just to use pink icing for the ice cream tops instead of trying to airbrush it. The cake was a hit tho- my friend loved it!

Just For Fun Cake
This was a funfetti cake with lime filling, white chocolate ganache frosting and buttercream accents. I got some new tips from my mom so I was trying them out just using what I had on hand. I learned that making ruffles on the side of a cake with ganache frosting will sooner or later sag to the bottom of the cake. LOL well my BF didn't complain as he ate almost the whole cake in one day!
