Lavender Simplicity
This cake is actually lavender with deep purple writing. I am working on my piping and am finding out it looks a lot easier than it actually is, but only practice will perfect it. My son's mother-in-law celebrated her 70th. She is known as "Mom" and "Mamaw". She also is known by her first name "Nora" but known by better as "Alene" which is her middle name.

Sparkley Pink Princess Cake
This was my first "doll" cake. My 4 year old granddaughter had put in a request for a "sparkley pink princess cake". You can imagine her little face when I walked in with the 10" square cake first. She had the most disappointed look on her face until I walked in with the doll cake. Both are total bc.

Mini-Cakes
I had 2 friends with birthdays and had extra batter left over from my Winter Wonderland cake. I filled 4" Corelle bowls 2/3 full and baked a couple of mini-cakes. They are perfect for single people or ,elderly people that truly don't have need for a large cake. You can make the mini-cakes when you have the "extra" batter and freeze them for a few weeks until ready to decorate. (PS- each of these cakes were iced in about 15 minutes so please don't critique the icing job..)

Butterfly Cake
My first try making a BC transfer. Learned a lot, but don't we always when we try something new. My granddaughter and her Mom both have birthdays this week so my son and I decided to go with a cake that matched to plates, napkins and hanging decorations. Cupcakes are for the little ones! The tiny butterflies are gumpaste.

Pumpkin Cupcakes
Yellow cake batter colored orange with orange BC centers and BC leaves. Had some leftover batter from a cupcake order and decided to try out a pumpkin cupcake mold my daughter-in-law gave me from Avon. The silicone mold worked great and the pumpkin cupcakes were a big hit with the granddaughters too.
