Cake improvements!

It has been years since I wrote anything on this blog, and it was super fun to see some of my early cakes so I can compare it to how I have improved today! I tend to always go into a cake project thinking that, this will be easy! I can do that in just a couple hours! But, as is ALWAYS the case, it's always harder than expected, takes tons more time than I thought, but I am so much happier with the work I am putting out now! I've even getting brave enough to start trying tartlets and decorated sugar cookies! Even to the point that my husband has been encouraging me to start my own business officially for over a year now! So, with all that said, here they are!

A New Hobby- let them eat CAKE!

Image
I am to the point of being a stay at home mom where I start to wonder if at the end of the day I have accomplished anything! Hence the need to find a new hobby where I can actually see the fruits of my labor, or in this case, the cake of my labor. This was a great month to start this new goal especially where we had three big birthdays in my family as well as my brothers fiancée's bridal shower for which I was partially in charge. Some are definitely better than others, and they are surely all ammature work, but I can't believe how much fun I have had making them, and even cutting it up and eating it afterwards! So, with that great intro, here they are! Rachel Belles 3rd Birthday Tinkerbell Cake Carter Mans 1st Birthday  Adam's Pool Party cake       complete with Jello swimming pool (harder than it looks!) Robert and Molly's bridal shower cake               ...

A few new cakes

Image
Still very amateur, but this is a phone book cake I made for my brother to ask a girl to a dance. He left clues in the book as to which page to turn to to decode both his first and last name. Cute, but I had no idea how hard it would be to frost a smooth layer of frosting over a saran wrapped book!  Here is my version of a Tinkerbell waterfall cake I made for my niece. I even wrapped the waterfall around to the back and had Vidia there too. To make the water look a little shinny I added some blue food coloring to some light corn syrup and spread it all over the water. I was pretty hay with how it turned out, especially since I am making this up as I go!  For my nephews birthday, all he said he wanted was a cake that had toys on it. I finally got a little more from him when he said he would like a Cars cake with Mater coming out of the cake, so here it is!

The Land of Disney!

Adam and his family have always been huge Disney fans, and yet we have never seemed to make it there with our own family. In fact, since having kids, we haven't ventured out on a single family vacation -until now! This November we walked into the park after a long drive, a 24-hr flu bug for the Carter man, two nights of no sleep because both kids got the croop, and over an hour in guest services because of mix-ups with our tickets, and we had a blast!   Adam and his family have always been huge Disney fans, and yet we have never seemed to make it there with our own family.
