Dirt Bike Groom's Cake

This was a "dirt bike" groom's cake for a lady at work's daughter's wedding. I had a lot of fun with this one. I created a new chocolate cake recipe for it, which I ate way too much of.

So, at 2:00 a.m. Saturday morning, I finally finished cakes and went to bed. However, I think it was well worth it. I loved the way they turned out and I am having so much fun experimenting with fondant. It's like being in Kindergarten all over again and getting to play play-doh! This one was for a couple's shower and the other one was for a little girl's "artist" party. Check it out under my children's birthday cakes.

Smash Cakes

After my wedding photographer moved to California, I was crushed. I thought no one would ever replace them. Luckily, I stumbled upon Anna-Karin Skillen. She is amazing. She did Mary Beth's one year pictures and everyone who has seen them has had a fit. Well, now I'm getting to return the favor. She uses "smash cakes" in her one-year old photo sessions, and I've started making them for her. It's so fun to see the babies get their first taste of cake.

Blogging for the computer un-savvy

Ok, I'm going to try this for the first time. Apparently, you're not cool unless you have a blog. I really just want to set up a place to display my cakes for people to see. Hopefully I can figure it out.
