Cake Giveaway #10

I made this cake for a beautiful girl Hannah, who got baptized last week. Her favorite color is green and since its her baptism, I incorporated her fav color and CTR in the cake, top with a baptismal dress drape over the cake. I used shimmering edible dust for the leaves to make them extra shiny 

                

Keenan's First Birthday

I had planned for his birthday cake for a long time. It was a safari jungle theme two tier cake and I was so excited to make it till we got an unexpected trip to make down boise the day of his birthday. I had no more time to make this elaborate cake for him. Nonetheless, with little time I have I made him a simple gift box cake with an elephant topper. The cake is red velvet layered with buttercream, covered in fondant, decorated with gum paste. All the kids in his party just wanted the elephant and gum paste decorations. They know where all the sugar is.

Happy First Birthday My sweet little Man

Lime and Coconut Cake

I am not a big fan of lime in dessert especially key lime pie or lime custard. But i am a big fan of coconut, so when i saw this recipe in party cakes book I just had to try the combination. Oh boy this cake is all so good. You get a sweet, coconutty, tangy taste all with crusty texture from the toasted coconut. Not my favorite cake but definitely a keeper!

Cake Giveaway #8

This is a cake I made for twin Chet and Bailey. They love everything cowboy. The top tier is a cake wrap in bandana fondant and the bottom is a cowboy pants.  It look so simple but a lot of effort and mess came with it. I told my husband I am going to quit decorating cakes. But after seeing this, it's all worth it.

Playing around with Calla Lilly

I  have been practicing how to make calla lilly and this one is my first try. Not too bad. Now I only need a cake to put it on. So i made a chocolate cake covered in ganache. The contrast between the glossy dark brown ganache and the white calla lilly really brings out the dramatic colors.

Cake Giveaway #6

This is something I made long time ago. It was my first time working with cake covered frosting. I learned that you need a lot of bowl to put your frosting and tinting it can be messy but im glad it turn out alright. I also learned that piping is a good workout for your hand muscles. My hands is still sore from it

Two in One.. two cakes in one day that is..

I made this simple statistic cake for a Health Class. It is showing how many death per year lung cancer caused and since 90% of lung cancer is due to tobacco use, it is the single most preventable disease in the world. I use an edible marker for the wordings.

Along the cake were  cupcakes, all 40 have number in them that correspod to a tobacco statistic. There is a little notes on the side of the cupcakes that explains what the numbers mean. For example 1--- 1 in 5 people die of tobacco related product

Black and White Cake

I made this cake for my dad. My dad is a plain guy so its really hard to make a cake with a theme. Hes not into sport, hes not a fan of anything, he doesnt have a favorite color etc. So i guess i wont make a cowboy cake, or a football cake or a orange/blue cake. This is what i came up with.

My First Frosting Cake

I made this long time ago. We never had oven in our house so I am not used to baking or anything. I always thought Cakes are something made by professionals. I also thought frosting is using whipped cream. The cake before this I covered with whipped cream. Well it did not turn so good. Silly me. But now that I have my own oven, cake possibilities are endless. This is the first frosting cake I made long time ago.. Not too bad I say.. and no it is not whipped cream this time. I made a cream cheese frosting

My first Fondant Cake
