Wedding Cookies

I was in a friend's wedding this weekend, and made 4 dozen cookies for the rehearsal dinner. Her colors were fushia and bright green.

Tres Leches

A friend's sister asked me to make a Tres Leches (Three Milk) cake for her wedding reception. I had never even heard of this cake, so I was very nervous! I had originally planned on tiering her cake, but this cake is too heavy. So here's what we ended up with!

Take me out to the ball game!

The town where I teach was putting on a fundraiser for a local kid who has cancer. His favorite sport is baseball, so I donated 3 dozen sugar cookies and a cake. Check them out:

Retirement Cakes

A co-worker's husband retired this year so I was given the chance to make my first retirement cakes. He really enjoys fishing, so I decided to take that and run with it.



The second cake said, "Enjoy Your Retirement Time, Harry!"

First Fondant Cake!

I made my first cake using fondant! I used butter cream to cover the cake, but used fondant to make the pink and green bow, polka dots, and curliques. I was SO nervous about this cake, and kept having dreams that I was messing it up! But I think it turned out well. :)

Sugar Cookies 2!

One of my all-time favorite things to make is sugar cookies. I use a family recipe and and top it with a homemade glaze. I love to make these for any and all events - Christmas, baby showers, bridal showers, etc. I have a variety of cookie cutters that honestly don't get used often enough. I would love to make sugar cookies for you as well! Here are just a few samples of some I have made recently.

Love's a Shore Thing

Another friend got married in May. Her wedding was beach themed, so for her bridal shower, I made her a beach.

New Home!

After my roommate got married, I moved in with my cake-decorating friend! We had a house-warming party a couple of months after we moved in. Of course, we had to make a cake for the party!

Lloyd the Lobster

My roommate and her fiance requested a lobster cake for their groom's cake. My friend, Jen, and I created a lobster, Lloyd. No one makes a lobster cake pan, so our creativity was put to the test. This is what we came up with:

Book Cake

For the first day of school, I used a book cake pan and printed off coloring pages for my design. It was a fun way to start the school year!
