More Cakes

Here are a few of my latest creations

This was for a friend's baby shower. It's decorated entirely in marshmallow fondant, with a licorice handle and ice cream cone wheels.

This was for the Wilton cake decorating class that I'm taking. It's part marshmallow fondant and part store bought fondant. I personally think store bought fondant is gross, so I don't think I'll be working with it much. But it makes great flowers (those will be on next week's cake). My final cake class is this Saturday and we're making a tiered cake, and you know I'll be posting a bunch of pictures of that.

Happy Valentine's Day

Of course I made a cake for Valentine's day, why wouldn't I. This cake was actually sent to work with Mike. I haven't made a cake for them in a while and I wanted to experiment with some fondant, so it was the perfect excuse. But don't worry, I'm not neglecting my valentine's here at home. I made a special chocolate cherry cheesecake for Mike. And all three kids are getting a surprise lunch out with daddy. (I have a dentist appointment) I hope everyone has a great day with the ones they love.

Chris Turns 6!!

Christopher turned 6 on January 17. We had a pirate party for him that night with a few friends from church and school. It may have been a small gathering but they made up for it in volume and energy. They had a great time running through the house wearing eyepatches and playing with Chris's new toys.

They played a game of pin the flag on the pirate ship.

I made pirate cupcakes for the party.
