This was a quick family cake. I decided to try my hand at the quilted look. It turned out alright, but I definitely need to practice that some more. I used ribbon on the bottom. I'm not big on using inedible materials in my cakes, but I saw this in the store and thought it would add some pop around the bottom of a cake.
I taught a decorating class to some junior/senior high students. A couple of the students completed all of the homework one week, so I rewarded them with cupcakes decorated with some of their favourite activities. This student loves figure skating :)

My daughter's Beanie Boo birthday party. This was the first time I tried to do RKT (though I used fruity pebbles since our cakes are gluten free). I think my cat turned out OK, but I couldn't figure out how to get the eyes like the teddy bear's eyes. I ended up calling this my bug eyed boo :) All the kids loved it though and several thought I had put a real Beanie Boo on the cake. What a compliment.
This birthday cake was for a dear friend. I found a cute earthy looking candle holder to use as the "pot." Added a small 2 layer cake to the jar. Then I broke up some broken cake bits to give it a dirt look on the top. Placed my leaves and flowers on the top as the finishing touches.
This cake was a surprise for the love of my life, my husband.
Grumpy Cat. My first cake of the year. I painted the cat on modelling chocolate. I had some fun firsts with this cake. This was the first time I played with modelling chocolate, used my new letter stencils, and use my clay extruder. Ooo. I like that extruder! I will get many, many boarders out of it!
This was for a Milestone 65th birthday. I wanted to make a more elegant cake. Everyone was saying these cakes were easy. I was surprised it was so simple and beautiful! I will be whipping out this cake again because of it's beauty and ease. I used regular chocolate chips and white chocolate chips. The top was just left over chocolate that I ran through a grater.
We are a Phineas and Ferb family. This is Perry breaking out of a secret tunnel in the backyard. About a month before my husband's birthday, he mentioned if he could choose his birthday cake, he would choose Phineas and Ferb. I tucked that info away and delivered. I was inspired by other CC members
This cake was for someone who likes to be outside in the summer, so he maintains the yards. The sides were crushed gluten free sandwich and chocolate chip cookies. They weremeant to look like dirt.
This cake was inspired by Bizzers, another CC member. The original looked so incredible that I wanted to try to make that impressive cake. I felt like I was giving a gift from my heart back to my Lord and Saviour in thanks as I created this cake.
A birthday cake for an Elvis fan.
This was for my daughter's 7th birthday. All of the stars have a 7 on them. The cake is covered in buttercream and the figures are all fondant. They were tons of fun to make!
We handed these cake pops out one year to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. I got the idea for these cake pops from Bakerella
My children added the sprinkles and lines to make Valentine's Day cake pops for Daddy.
This was a super fun, super simple cake to make.
Is cake was for one of my husband's coworkers.
I wanted to make a cake inspired by the Rose Window in Notre Dame. I hand painted the cake. Unfortunately, I ran out of time before the event, so it ended up being a very simplified version of the window. It was fun to work on painting and see a vision out though.
This cake was for someone graduating with a masters in divinity. I used gold luster dust on the pages. I used a knife to make pages lines down the sides and pushed the pages down with my fingers to give the pages a well used Bible look.
This cake was going to an office with a no candles policy, so I made a simple cake with fondant candles.
I made a cake for my husband's coworker. I used this to work on piping skills.
This cake was for my dad when he came to visit us. It was the first person I made. The deer was the hardest part of the cake. I tried making it a full deer, but I couldn't get it to stand up. I was trying to just use tiny wire and fondant (I think I needed to use gum paste or heavier wire). Originally he was going to be standing in front of the 2 trees. I ended up just working on the face and making him peek out, so I didn't need the rest of the body. I also couldn't get the antlers to stay up, so the tree held them up. All in all, I think it turned out to be a nice surprise for my dad who has never seen any of my cakes.
This cake was for my husband's coworker who was celebrating a birthday. As a hardcore Chicago Bears family, I almost hang my head in shame that this cake came out of our kitchen :)
This cake was for a coworker of my husband. He is in mail services.
