Birthday Cake

Thanks to my friend Jessica, and all of her beautiful cakes, I made this cake for Mrs. Betty who is one of my assistants where I work. It's just a 2 tiered yellow cake. The bottom layer is a 9 2 layer cake and the top layer is a 6 inch 2 layer cake. It fed both the 3 year old and 4 year old classes--42 kids--and I think Mrs. Betty was able to take a couple of pieces home.


random cupcakes

Just some random cupcakes I did to take to school on Eli and Ginny's birthday.


Smiley faces for Eli


Flowers for Ginny

My First Wedding Cake

My first wedding cake. I did Heather Mayo's cake. I used the basketweave around each--which I loved. I believe 1 layer was pound cake, 1 was red velvet, and 1 was chocolate pound cake. I used good old buttercream frosting on them. The flowers were provided by the florist.

Superman




Eli's 5th birthday this last December was a Superman party. The superman is a figurine I bought online, but I had to create the "water" that he is rising out of. This was a 2 layer half sheet cake. The bottom was chocolate and the top was yellow.

A Barnyard Birthday

For Eli's 3rd birthday we had a barnyard theme. I tinted coconut yellow for the hay and used his Little People figures around the cake. I just made a yellow cake and molded it to a barn.

Katie's first birthday cakes



Katie's first birthday party was a ladybug theme. I made cupcakes (which I can't find a picture of), a 2 layer yellow cake with strawberry jam in between the layers, and a little ladybug for Katie to get into.

Football Mania





After speaking to a friend who has made a football cake request, I remembered my 1st football cake that I made and happened upon the picture. We had a BYU football party with the BYU Alumni Association. I made all of the desserts. I made sugar cookies in the shape of footballs and football helmets. I made a football field sheet cake, cupcakes, and then I also made 2 football cakes. Of course, these were my first, so I'm ready to improve my designs. : )
