Firefighter Birthday Cake

I tried something new on this cake, with the top & bottom layers being round and the center layer being square. One of the volunteer firefighters on my husband's department asked me to make him a birthday cake, but he neglected to tell me what kind of cake he wanted. SO, the top layer is strawberry, the center layer is white, and the bottom layer is chocolate. I enjoyed getting to use my edible glitter.

Minnie Mouse Sheet Cake

I was hired to bake a birthday cake for a baby's 1st birthday. This is the cake she asked for.


I'd been wanting to sculpt with fondant for quite some time, so I took this opportunity to throw in a baby cake. This was fun to do & I learned quite a bit!

Topsy Turvy Birthday Cake

I had a credit at Amazon & decided to splurge & use it on a set of topsy-turvy cake pans. Let me just say I LOVE them! Other than the fact that to make the complete 4 layers it takes almost 10 cake mixes. That is a LOT of cake! I decorated it and took my cake to school to celebrate my birthday. All my students enjoyed it tremendously!

Julie's Birthday Cake

Julie's birthday snuck up on me. I stayed up late one night baking a red velvet cake, & forgot about it for awhile, so it is a little overdone. I stayed up late decorating it, & sure enough, walked out the door the next morning without the cake. Since I won't be seeing Julie again for a couple weeks her cake will be going to the teacher's lounge tomorrow. We'll see if the "over-doneness" matters to the guys I work with! This was also my first attempt at cream cheese frosting.

My Final Cake Class...

I'm so sad that my 3rd cake class is over. It's been a lot of fun! This was the fondant & gum paste class, so this cake was made of flowers I learned to make. I actually liked this cake overall.
