High Heel Cake

This cake was ordered by a friend of mine to surprise her daughter's teacher. From what I understand, Mrs. Clyburn (who is also a friend) wears some pretty snazzy shoes to work. I also heard that she won a Snazzy Shoes Award from the principal!! I made this cake in honor of her wonderful taste in shoes. Allison, I hope your birthday is wonderful!!

This cake is a 10 inch square (double layer). It is chocolate cake with buttercream icing!

Cupcake Cake Topper

I had so much fun making this cake. I used several different ideas and combined them. The Pink Cake Box gave me the idea for the cupcake on top of the cake with the whimsy number one design. I got the idea for the smooth fondant from The Baked Creation. I loved how simple their technique was. Then I decided to try the new sleek bows instead of the big party ones I have been using.
The cake is white cake with buttercream icing and is covered in marshmallow fondant.
Happy Birthday little Anna!! I hope your first birthday was wonderful!!

Hannah Hooten - Interview with a Future Cake Decorator

I am so excited!!! This is my first time having a guest blogger and what makes it special is that she is also my daughter. The past few weeks Hannah has been interested in cake decorating. Not just eating the left over icing and leveled off pieces of cakes, but actually the decorating part. While we were working on her first cake she said that she wanted her own cake blog too. She said she would settle for a guest blogging spot until she could learn how to type!!

Well, without any further ado, I introduce Hannah Alyse Hooten

I was mixing the icing for the cake.

It was a chocolate cake!

I am icing the cake. It was fun!

I wasn't really licking the icing! I was just posing!

This is my very first cake made with my Easy Bake Oven!

This is my brother asking for the second slice of cake.

This is me washing all of my cooking stuff I used.
Cleaning up is just as important as baking!!

Birthday Present

Happy Birthday Anna!

One of my best friend's gets to celebrate her daughter's birthday on Christmas Eve. Every year I have the opportunity to make her birthday cakes. We love you Anna Noel! Happy Birthday sweet heart!

This cake is chocolate with buttercream icing and marshmallow fondant.

Merry Christmas!

This cake was actually for a birthday. The recipient loves ornaments. So I decided to make a cake that displayed all different kinds of them. The cake is a butter cake with buttercream icing and covered in marshmallow fondant.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I had an order for a Thanksgiving cake. This was for a repeat customer that always gives me free reign with the decorating. She gives me the theme and I get to be creative. I had a lot of fun working with this cake. Both layers are a butter cake with buttercream icing and marshmallow fondant.

German Chocolate Cake

I do not consider myself a baker, but I do enjoy baking. When I got an order for a German Chocolate cake I jumped at the opportunity. The first thing she said was that she didn't need a "pretty" cake, but I could not give her a cake that was not at least a little decorated.
