Some more cakes! This first one was supposed to look more like an Easter basket but it didn't come out like I had hoped it would.

This one I made for my daughter's first birthday! The decorating is simple but it turned out better than any of the ones I have done before. I learned my lesson that crumb-coating really is worth it!







Surprise! It's a checker board cake! This was taken a couple days after her birthday so a couple of the layers started drooping to one side so it doesn't look as fantastic as it did at first. I think this is one of the cakes I'm most proud of!

 My first try with fondant. It was interesting. I didn't trim off the top so it still had all the little bumps and bubbles.

 And this one was just a fail. My original idea was to try and make it look like a small wedding cake with two different sized layers. Ummm yeah, didn't happen. I just decided to have fun with it after that. This was just.... a fail. A tasty fail though! :)

 I made this one for some friends. This one did turn out better than the last one but i wish it had come out better.

 I think this one is my all time favorite so far. I made this to tell my parents I was having a boy when I was pregnant with my son.

 I like to think that someday I'll be a an amazing cake decorator like you see on TV shows.
Unfortunately I lack shall we say, artistic skills. I have some creativity, just not the skill to put what I see in my mind into something beautiful. But I felt like posting some of the cake I have made. 

This first one was a cake I made just for the heck of it. I had just bought a leaf shaped decorating tip and some gum paste and wanted to experiment. I think this one was a yellow and chocolate marble cake. I use cake mixes because of time and ease. I just used store-bought white frosting and made the flowers out of the gum paste! And just FYI, gum paste is NOT very tasty.

I have a few more I want to post, but it'll have the wait!! The kids are awake and demanding my attention :)

Intro

Hello, and welcome to my blog! This is something I have wanted to do for a while but what really pushed me to start a blog were Facebook’s privacy policies. I just don’t trust my information and photos to be safe! I’m going to try and post different things but most of what I’ll be posting about it running, health and fitness in general (stuff I find online), stuff about my family, and books I’m reading. I hope you enjoy!
