Busy, Busy, Busy!

There has been so much going on and the biggest is that my baby boy turned 1 on Sunday!!

I had so much fun making him his cake. Here are some pictures of my fun adventures in cake making leading up to his!


Last year for Jaren's 24th birthday! A Fun-fetti cake and frosting.


My first adventure into homemade marshmallow fondant. Jaren was playing a tank game, so I decided to make a tank. I used Fun-fetti and white fondant.


This time Jaren and I made a cake together. We had fun sculpting the roses and fairy and just experimenting with how we could make cool things with fondant.


I surprised Jaren with this chocolate covered strawberry with frosting cake for Valentine's Day.


Since we had tried fun things with fondant we decided to do a cool Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and Harry Potter Cake for Spencer's 23rd birthday. For the figures we used Crispy Rice with fondant. Crumbled cookies for dirt, Brown Sugar for sand. It was a blast. I made Yellow cake and Devil's Food cake with Lemon Cream Filling.


For our Friend Blake's 26th birthday we made a Liger cake for him. I made Devil's food cake with a peanut butter cream cheese filling and bits of Reese's in and on it.


For Sarabeth's 15th birthday we decided to do a fairy swim party cake and later added on Gnomeo and Juliet figures also. I made a Devil's Food Cake and Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Filling. We used crushed up Butterfingers for the tree trunk.


For Jaren's 25th birthday I made him a Mustafar cake with an epic Jedi/Sith battle. I did a Chocolate Cake and poured red jello in it and it melted the cake. I also made a cream cheese filling and colored it orange. I put some of the filling in the cake while it cooked and it made the cake fall in to look like a planet. It turned out so cool!


And finally Devlin's 1st birthday cake! We did a Teddy Bear Picnic birthday so I decided to make a picnic blanket with a Crispy Rice Bear and picnic basket. I made a Fun-fetti Cake with Raspberry Cream Cheese Filling.

I love making these cakes and I'm excited to do more. I already have my sister's baby shower cake to look forward to!!!
