This cake was for a 1st birthday. The monkey cake was for the baby and the other cake was for the adults. They requested that the adult cake have monkeys and bananas to coordinate with the monkey cake.
This cake was made for a friend's son's WWF sleepover party. This one took some time as I've never seen wrestling so I had to do some research.
I downloaded the WWF template and duplicated it with chocolate for the top. The corner posts are Pepperidge Farms cookies that I covered in chocolate. The stars on the sides are also chocolate pieces that I made.
These cakes were for my niece's 6th birthday. As you can see she wanted a High School Musical theme. The musical note pieces are made of chocolate and the picture of the HSM kids is an edible image.
Jan '08 - This was my first decorated cake. It's a two-layer cake with basketweave, shells and rope. I certainly bit off more than I could chew on this first real attempt to decorate a cake, but all-in-all it came out pretty well.
On January 5, 2008 I was looking for a hobby that would let me be creative without it taking weeks to complete. I guess this was my version of a New Year's Resolution. I'm not sure why cake decorating caught my attention, but it did and I've been having fun with it ever since.
I make cakes for family and friends so I've not made that many, but I'm having fun and the cakes are coming along.
