4Th Of July Cupcakes
3 different cupcakes for a family 4th of July party - Triple Chocolate Mint, Butter Pecan & Carrot cake. Iced with the Decorators Cream Cheese icing ( http://cakecentral.com/recipes/4153/decorators-cream-cheese-frosting ) only thing I did different was use almond flavor instead of vanilla and I added a 3rd block of cream cheese.

Pink Shower Cake
this was done for my sister's baby shower 3 days after my neice showed up 3 1/2 weeks early LOL. She wanted her name done in blocks, and her birth stats on the cake, she wanted it all done in cream cheese even though I told her it wouldn't hold up as well as buttercream, she wanted it pink & black. I wasn't to happy with it as the cream cheese wasn't firm enough but she loved it and so did everyone at the shower so that's all that matters right :)

17Th Birthday Basketball Cake
I got this idea from kimmy37, I did this cake today for my brother's 17th birthday. He is a star basketball player on the varsity team at his high school. His school colors are red, black & white so I did the cake in those colors. I did cupcakes with the left over batter and put little basketballs with the number 17 on them. The cake is a 2 layer white almond sour cream cake with homemade cream cheese icing. the ball was made using a small metal mixing bowl.

Dad's 40Th Birthday Photo Cake
I designed an 8x10 photo collage to use as the photo part of this cake using pictures of my dad growing up. I had it printed as an 8x10 and than went to the local bakery and had them just sell me the edibile picture sheet. I than went home and put it on my own homemade cake.
