Palm Tree Anniversary Cake
This was a 30something anniversary for my inlaws who live in Florida. All buttercream with grahm cracker crumb sand. I wanted to "carve" their initials in the sand but couldn't figure out how. . . I was really happy with how this cake came out, but it was a PAIN to make!! lol

Children Around The World
This is a 70th Birthday cake for the secretary at the school I work at. When I asked around to see what people thought I should do for a cake they said she was "really into world issues" and also that she loved her grandchildren. So - - a globe cake with kid's holding hands. It's a 3 layer 8" round cake with a stainless steel bowl on top for the globe. All buttercream frosting. This was my first "commissioned" cake, although I didn't charge them for it. It's a little lopsided in spots, but overall I'm happy with it !

Pink Flamingo
This is my test-run for my baby girl's 1st birthday coming up in a couple of months. I have never decorated a cake before so I thought I should practice, but I think it came out pretty darn good! I used butter cream frosting for the base, then used tubes of store bought frosting to draw on the flamingo, and a leaf tip to create the "feathers" on the edges. I had so much fun making this cake, I think I have a new hobby now!!
