Got Cake?

Here are some pictures I took of my cakes:

This cake is from my baby's 1st birthday. It is 2 layers covered in fondant with a chocolate molded Elmo popping out.

This was a cake I did for my family reunion. It is not really cake. I did the cake part as a brownie and covered in fondant. From the branches hanging along with fondant leaves are cookies with the faces of our family piped from royal icing.


This cake was form my oldest kids birthday that had a carnival theme. The icing covering the cake and the figures are made from fondant and some of the details are buttercream. Every layer was a different flavor so each kid had their favorite included.


This is a cake with a basket weave pattern piped with buttercream and flowers made from royal icing.


Fondant cakes... But I gotta give props to my sister in law Nora:





Nora jumps in and helps me whenever I need a hand with a cake. She is such a whiz with fondant, especially figurines.

Lots of Dots Baby Cake

I already posted the diaper cake I made but here it the actual shower cake:


This one was so easy to do and everyone loved it! It's a simple 9 inch vanilla cake with buttercream filling and fondant icing with fondant molded baby figurine and bow. I smoothed the fondant out, laid it on and then added dots. The dots were tedious but it matched the diaper cake. Easy, fun and turned out really well.

Cakes

I have always wanted to decorate cakes. So I took a class and I have found something I love, Here are a few pictures of what I have done:









Ok, I'm done showing off now.
