girly

this little girl was turning 7 and asked for a pink, green, and black girly cake with a few zebra stripes!

i used pearlized sprinkles on the small polka dots and the flowers around the bottom are made from gum paste.

polka dots and stripes cake

This was for two sisters’ birthday party {ages 6 & 19}. i thought it turned out pretty cute! It was a strawberry cake with cream cheese filling.

cake #2

i am always looking for an excuse to make a cake. we had some of my family over for a bbq today and i volunteered to make the dessert :) i had the hardest time deciding how to decorate this cake because i’ve seen so many cute ideas!

you may think i’m crazy, but i’m not a huge fan of cake. that is why cake decorating is such a great hobby for me! BUT if i am going to eat cake, it must be a chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting. so this cake is a chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting and fresh cut up strawberries in the middle. it was sooo good.

it’s a start

so i decided that i need a hobby now that i’m a mom. my husband mentioned cake decorating and i completely blew it off…until i saw a cake that a girl in my ward did. she is amazing at it and it inspired me! 
i decided to try making my own fondant. it actually worked out really well! here is my first cake ever.
 
this was a chocolate cake with chocolate butter cream frosting. it turned out better than i was expecting and i had so much fun doing it.. i cant wait to do more!
