May 2008 - Wedding Shower Cake

This cake was my biggest challenge to date!

This was for a friend who was hosting a wedding shower. She wanted "pink and happy" and enough to feed 50 people. This is what I came up with.

This is two double layers covered in fondant and shimmer dust. The flowers, hearts and curlies are made from gumpaste and fondant.

April 2008 - Wrestling 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.

January 2008 - Mom's birthday cake

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.

January 2008 - How I started decorating cakes.

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.
