Attemping to make Roses....

I have a cake in a couple of weeks and i have to make some yellow roses to add to it. I'm not good at making them but i wanted to start now just in case they don't turn out. Surprisingly i was impressed with myself.

Chocolate cake anyone?

I made a chocolate cake covered and filled with chocolate ganache icing. I decorated it with a bit of colored fondant.

Cakes in Ice Cream cones??

I have a tin full of recipes for cupcakes. My nephew saw these and thought they looked fun. Basically i took a white cake mix and put them into ice cream cones to bake in the oven. It was fun and easy enough for Ayden who is six to help. Once they were done we added the icing and sprinkles to make it look like ice cream cones.

The Love of my Life!

No it's not cake but it is close! It's my cutie pie Callie. My sitter Jen got a new camera and took these adorable pictures of Callie. I couldn't help but share them as i think she did a fantastic job catching Callie's silly and cute personality.
