First Communion/confirmation Bible Cake
Both my son and daughter were making their Confirmation and 1st Communion the same weekend. Making two cakes was just too much work, but a split sheet cake didn't seem good either. This is the first time I have tried to make a book cake and it was both a success and a disaster! The fondant decorations came out better than I thought they would. The book is made of two different cakes. Each a two -layer half sheet. One is devil's food with a ganache and fresh strawberry filling. The other is vanilla with strawberry filling. I'm not experienced at craving cakes at all, so this was a good place to start. The buttercream roses and writing were a disaster, the buttercream wouldn't set up right (still looking for that perfect recipe).

Sesame Street Birthday
This is the 4th cake I've made with fondant. It is a two tier lemon pound cake with homemade fresh strawberry filling. All letters, numbers and the sign were cut out by hand. The stars on top were brushed with pearl dust to add a touch of shine. Still working on getting my edges nice and sharp :)
