ABC Cakes

I am starting this blog so I will have a journal of my progress and learning as I finish up the Wilton courses and continue to increase my cake decorating skills. I have done several cakes over the last few months, and I fell I am really getting the hang of it. I have also started make cakes for other people, and only charging them what it cost me. I figure this will be a great way to increase my abilities and also a great benefit for those who want cute cakes at a great price.

Dragon Party

This Dragon is probably my favorite cake I have done thus far. He was so cute, easy, and really low on cost. His head, tail and legs are rice crispy treat, and his body is one whole cake mix. His spikes are orange candy melts formed into "spikes". Loved this cake!

It was for a one year old, so here was his cake to eat
I had left over cake batter, so I made a few parties hats.

Happy One Year Birthday Dude!!

My son turned one and we had an Elephant cake. I had seen this cake done before and wanted so bad to do it. The cake took a lot longer then most cakes, and I don't feel it was any cuter, but at least I have done it now right? Below is my son's personal cake to eat.

Singing Happy Birthday

The Elephant Cake. The elephant is white cake. The base it is on is white cake with chocolate mousse filling.

Duck Cake

This duck cake was a trial run for my son's Birthday. I had bought the pan and was nervous about the way it worked, so I decided to bake a cake before hand to double check the pans abilities. Well the pan worked great, so I decided to make up a little frosting and "play". As you can tell I ran our of frosting and didn't feel like making more since this was just a trial run. Even though I ran out of frosting I hope you can see how cute this little guy would be finished!

Quarter Century Old

When my husband turned 25 he wanted a quarter cake to celebrate his quarter of a century age. This was not my best cake, but I have to say I learned a LOT. The cake was funfetti and the filling was the funfetti frosting.

My Little Pony

This was a My Little Pony Party. It was a Strawberry Cake with strawberry cream cheese filling.

Easter Cupcakes

For Easter I was asked to make the cake for my family egg hunt. I really wanted to make a CUTE lamb cake covered in white chocolate curls (YUMMY!) but it was too late notice and I couldn't get the pan on time, so this is what I came up with. To make up for the fact that it wasn't the white chocolate lamb, I filled these cupcakes with a cream cheese filling!!

My son sure loved them!

A Princess Party

I made this cake for my two nieces who were born within 24 hours of each other. They turned six and wanted a princess party. At the party they got their hair, make-up, and nails done.

An up close of the princess castle cake. I loved creating this castle because I knew the memories it would make for these girls! It was a vanilla cake with strawberry cream cheese filling.
