These were done a for our neighbors daughter who just graduated. We are so blessed to live next to this fantastic family. Their kids are awesome they are so generous we have been truly blessed. The cakes themselves turned out okay and are a lovely french vanilla and dark chocolate fudge swirled. YUMMMMY with cream cheese icing. I am a bit dissapointed in the writing on the cakes I could have done so much better. I do not know why I was not as good on these as others. SIGH

My now 6 year olds Birthday cake

2008-06-11T07:58:00.000-07:00

My now 6 year old requested a cake with sprinkles and some yellow as yellow is his favorite color. So he got a cake with sprinkles, LOL. We also decided that since we were having the party at the zoo, it would be a zoo cake. We used some of those little frosted animal cookies for the animals. As you can see the cake is looking a bit soft. Well, a hot afternoon will do that to a cake. He loved it, it tasted great, and so I am happy with it!!!

2007-07-30T15:03:00.001-07:00

I recieved a call early this morning. It was Mrs Baker she was asking if I would be able to make her a birthday cake. by 5 tonight. I said sure!! This cake is awesome. The cake is baked and then has an holes poked in it and then an orange syrup poured over it. It has orange marmalade between the layers a lovely light and not too sweet frosting and then topped with orange marmalade. Mmmmmmm I wish I was going to that birthday, although I did make this recipe into cupcakes yesterday for my sisters baby shower.

My brothers wedding cake 7-7-07

2007-07-08T16:01:00.003-07:00

This caked turned out lovely despite the fact that the fondant wanted to escape, LOL. The wedding cake for my brothers wedding yesterday. It turned out well despite the heat and my struggles to keep the fondant from sliding. They were very happy with it and everyone said it tasted awesome. It was french vanilla, dense and moist, with cream cheese frosting and then fondant covering that and mine tasted good, Not sure what the people whyo made the others did to them, but anyway, then covered and edible pearl dragees, and a red ribbon around the bottom of each tier.

Baker Wedding Cake

2007-07-08T16:01:00.002-07:00

This cake was for our Pastors daughter. I used the same recipes as for my sisters cake. I think they wanted the same design on the sides as well. Then we used lots of fresh flowers and greenery to decorate. It turned out well a little much for the flowers on top, but she liked it.

Joy Wedding Cake

2007-07-08T16:01:00.001-07:00

In case your wondering what is on top that is a lovely heart made by swans and the black things are cowboy hats. Not exactly my style I would have used one or the other. This was made for the same girl as the shower cake. Although for a different wedding, don't ask. This is a chocolate fudge cake. And a modified frosting, as the wedding was outside in July, sigh......... I really cut down on the butter in this using like a fourth and just using more heavy cream until the frosting was the right consistency. I used yellow carnations as the theme was countryish, and baby's breath as well as yellow ribbons stuck on, all in all it was not too bad. Tasted good.

Joy shower cake

2007-07-08T16:01:00.000-07:00

This picture is kind of dark this was before I bought a good digital camera!! This was made for a girl at our church who was getting married. But anyway this cake is a lovely chocolate fudge cake, with cream cheese frosting. The flowers were varigated roses. It turned out well.

My Sisters wedding cake 02

2007-07-08T15:47:00.000-07:00

My sisters wedding cake. A dozen different recipes for cake were tried before we found one we liked. This one was from the Cake Bible by Rose Leavy Bernbaum, I hope I spelled that right. The frosting for this one contains lots of lovely butter, heavy cream, almond and vanilla. Yummmmmmmmmy my sisters boquet was daises and she still loves daisies so thats what was on the cake.
