Haunted Gingerbread
This was my first attempt at making my own gingerbread house. We've done the kits before with the little houses but this was much more fun. I got some books from the library for inspiration. My whole family worked on it. One tip I found when researching was that if you don't plan to eat any of the house then use a glue gun to put it all together. Brilliant! My kids made the tree out of a paper bag.

12Th Birthday Candy Cake
My niece asked for a cake with candy on it . This is what I came up with thanks to all the great inspiration I found in the CC galleries. She was so excited, she just kept jumping around. It's devils food cake with vanilla buttercream. I also made cookies to go with the candy theme. NFSC with Antonia 74 royal icing.

I'm trying to learn how to do cookies and taking every chance I have to practice. I found these adorable guys in the gallery posted by Cakemommy so I thought I would give them a try. Hers were much better but mine turned out pretty good. My kids and nieces and nephews loved them. NFSC with Antonia's RI.

Glamour Girl 9Th Birthday
I made this cake for my daughter's 9th birthday. WASC cake with vanilla buttercream and MM fondant. It was my first time for all three recipes. First time making a decorated fondant cake and first time making a purse. I used candy melts to make the sunglasses, lips, lipstick and cell phone. The middle layer was the hardest. I've never done fondant on a square cake and it got a little lumpy but my daughter absolutely loved it. She'd just kept hugging me.
