Trying to catch up
I am so far behind on updates, I notice I haven't posted a new cake since March! That is sooooo pitiful!! Well I have a few but just haven't gotten them up. I have been really busy getting ready for Autumnfest, a huge craft fair here at a local college that I haven't had much time for making cakes or posting the ones that I have made here lately. I am working on ideas for a Haunted House Halloween cake. Hopefully I will free up some time soon to post some pics on here. I did a really cool Alice in Wonderland cake for my daughter in Aug that I can't wait to share.

Chinese Dragon Birthday Cake
I believe this is the 4th Dragon cake in a row that I have done for my son. This year we did a Chinese Dragon made of rice crispy treats and covered with fondant. I steamed the fondant to give it the glossy look. I really struggled with the dragon, he turned out alot bigger and heavier than I thought he would, I wasn't sure I would be able to get him onto the cake but I finally managed to wrestle him on there.
Baby Shower Cake, It's a Girl
One of my daughters friends was having a baby girl and asked me to make the shower cake. I went with a baby bottle, rattle and blocks all carved from cake and iced with buttercream frosting. I hear it was a big hit.
Slot Machine Birthday Cake
For my mother in laws birthday this year I did a slot machine cake. It was really pretty easy, I cut my 11X14 in cake in half and stacked it, carved it into shape and used buttercream icing with fondant accents. I wanted to find the gold foil chocolate coins but I guess it was the wrong time of year so I had to settle for plastic.

Mom and Dad's 50th Anniversary Cake
This is the cake that I made for my mom and dad's 50th anniversary in December. Royal icing roses and gold paper leaves. The gold tinsel on top is from the Christmas aisle at Wal-mart, I was having a hard time finding gold decorations so, even though these were supposed to adorn Christmas packages they worked for a cake top and no one even knew (until now that is). Second cake I have made using columns and they keep getting easier! I found the teal paste food color, loved it and wanted to try it out, they really liked it, had a very wintery look to it!
Thanksgiving Turkey Cake
Thanksgiving turkey cake. This one was super simple, I used my old Wilton Turkey cake pan and just filled it in with a star tip. My daughter dubbed this the most boring cake I have made in a long time!
