Happy Birthday Julie and Kelly!!!!!

Julie and Kelly just had a birthday that they celebrated camping with family. Kelly asked if I'd make a cake for their birthday and I was so glad that she did. I just love decorating cakes! I tried to bring in some of their favoite colors (Brown and green). Kelly thought it would be fun to use owls and maybe incorporate the outdoors since they were celebrating camping. I hope that this made it to Yellowstone okay. I was having too much fun planning how I wanted it to look, that I didn't think too much about how it would travel. Hope it was a good weekend!

More Cakes!!

This cake was made for a friend's birthday. He is an avid fly fisherman. The reels are made with fondant and royal icing, an the hat is covered with fondant, and I made some flies out of fondant and dried them.

Isn't this cute!?! A friend of mine is getting her little girl's picture taken for her first birthday. The photographer said that if they bring a cake they would take her picture while she eats her first birthday cake. The little girl is ADORABLE! I'm very excited to see how her pictures turn out.

Update:

There are a few pics posted from the photo shoot at the following link:

Good Luck Hanni Family

Here is the cake I made for the Hannis. Jeff is joining the army to play his trombone in an army band, hence the theme of the cake. We are sure going to miss them. Thank goodness for cell phones, email, and blogs!! At least they won't feel as far away.

This was my first attempt at camoflauge. It was fun to try, but I might have to try it a little different next time.

On the bottom I put wheels made of fondant.

I tried to make some dog tags for them too. I used those food color markers to write on them. It was a fun cake to make. The day before I made this I had to make 250 cupcakes for a reception. This cake was the motivation to make it through frosting all of those. I have decided I'd MUCH rather make a giant cake than 250 cupcakes!!

Wedding Cake

This is for a wedding this week. They wanted pink roses and green leaves. I hope they like it.

Happy Birthday Jana

Here is a pic of Jana's b-day cake. I made it patriotic for her because her birthday is so close to the Fourth of July. We're sure going to miss them when they move. For anyone who is interested, we are going to have a going away party/openhouse on July 11th at the Mud Lake Park (the one by our house) at 7:00 pm. Come and say goodbye with us!

Sand Castle Cake

I made this cake for our summer reading program fundraiser. They are having a cake auction tomorrow. I thought that a sand castle cake would be appropriate since it is going to be July. Everything is edible on this cake (with the exception of a couple wood skewers). I thought it turned out cute. The "sand" is graham cracker crumbs, and the shells, umbrella, and shovel are made from fondant.

The kids always want to help me when I'm making cakes, so I baked them each one that they could decorate how they wanted. Here is the finished product!! (MacKelle accidently dropped her's on the floor, so the frosting is a bit smashed-but still beautiful!)

Happy Birthday Amanda!

Here is a little Brownie cake I made for a friend for her birthday tomorrow. I didn't have my camera, so I had to use my cell phone, so please excuse the blurry pic.

Class of 2009

This is a cake I made the other day for graduation. Congratulations Gerardo and the rest of the class of 2009!

Happy Birthday Bobi!! (Yesterday)

Yesterday was my good friend Bobi's birthday!! I LOVE birthdays. Bobi's family has 3 birthdays between today and yesterday. Being the awesome mom that she is, she spent her birthday getting ready for her son's and husband's birthday. She is also the only girl in her family, so I decided to make her a girly birthday cake. She is so fun and creative you'll have to check out her blog if you haven't yet, its super-cute!

"24" season finale party

What would a "24" season finale party be without a duffel bag cake with a bomb in it??? Jenny is Bauering the situation and we were able to eat and watch in safety. We're going to miss our 24 parties. Not just because we love Jack, but it's been fun hanging out with the Jemmetts. We'll have to find another summer show I guess.

I couldn't get a very good picture of the cake, but it has a bomb in it with 24 seconds left on the timer. I thought it was appropriate.

Happy Birthday Baylee

These are some pictures of the latest cake I made. It was for Baylee Tomlinson's 18th Birthday. It was SOOOOO fun to make.

MORE COOKIES!?

Here are some more sugar cookies! I LOVE cookies! These were for a friend who turned 50 this last week. This was also my first try at a cookie bouquet. The trick is to insert your sticks before you bake your cookie. Also, I should've had a longer box to put them in so I could've spread them out more, making it easier to read, but I still think it turned out cute.

Spring Cookies

I made these cookies for some friends birthdays. I thought that they were fun for spring. The other day when I was making these it started snowing pretty hard -Ya gotta love spring in Idaho!

The Millimium Falcon Cake

This was a FUN Cake to make. I have to say, I was quite pleased on how it turned out. I used that marshmellow fondant again. The main part was cake, and the front and side is made with rice krispy treats.

Brittney's Baby Shower cake

This is a cake I made for a friend who just had a little baby boy. She is a Young women leader in our ward and the girls threw her a suprise baby shower. This is the cake I made for her. It was pretty fun. I found a new recipe for Marshmellow fondant-super easy. If anyone needs the recipe email me.
