Camoflauge Birthday Cake


I made this camo cake for an 18th birthday. I was pleased how it came out, particularly when my hunter husband said, "Wow, that looks pretty cool."

Class with Bronwyn Weber!


This past Sunday, I took a class with one of my "cake idols" Bronwyn Weber. She has participated in and won several Food Network Cake Challenges, and she is as nice as she is talented. Well, after 11 hours of hard work, we all produced a 3D Santa Claus. It was very interesting to see all the different personalities in the Santas. Definetely a long day, but very worth it.

Sandy's Spooky Halloween Cake


I have a very dear friend at work whose birthday is three days before Halloween. I always make her a "spooky" cake, because she loves Halloween. This one was particularly fun to make, and I think she really liked it. I, of course, picked off all the candy corn and ate them.

Leaves are Falling


I have been really wanting to try some fall leaves, so I used Mary Beth's school fair cake walk as the perfect opportunity. Next time I think I will do the leaves a little deeper color, but I was pleased with the overall look.

Candy Corn!!!


Candy corn is my (and now my daughter's) absolute favorite candy. I know it's nothing but sugar, but I love it. Every year when Halloween rolls around, I find my self with a huge bag of it, even though I'm always on a diet. I volunteered to make cakes for Mary Beth's school fair cake walk, and I thought what more fitting cake than a giant candy corn!
