Relief Society Birthday Dinner

Our Relief Society Birthday Dinner was about covenants this year. The program was based on the Three Dresses poem and three women spoke - one about baby blessings, one about baptism , and one about temple marriage. They thought a wedding cake would be a nice touch and asked me to make one. This is one of my favorites I found on the Internet a long time ago. It is white cake with buttercream frosting. The flowers are piped on and the ribbon and leaves are made of marshmallow fondant.

Garden Party

I did this cake for a friend's daughter who was turning two. The theme was a garden party. I thought the white picket fence turned out so cute and this was, by far, the best butterfly I have ever done. The cake was lemon flavored (my favorite) with buttercream icing and marshmallow fondant decorations.

Valentine Cupcakes

I made these cupcakes for my daughter's class party. I cheated and used store bought frosting! I can't remember the last time I did that.

Toolbox Cake

This was a cake for my friend's husband. His hobby is woodworking. I covered the base with marshmallow fondant that was a marbled brown to look like wood. The cake is chocolate and is covered in buttercream. The hammer and nails are also made of fondant. I hope he liked it!

Kung Fu Panda

I was asked to make a Kung Fu Panda cake for a boy who is turning 8. I had an idea to have Po in a fighting stance on top and bamboo around the bottom. The bamboo turned out well but Po was just too big and heavy to be standing. I had to settle and have Po doing his second favorite thing - eating dumplings! The cake is chocolate with buttercream icing and marshmallow fondant decorations.

Merry Christmas!

Every year my ward has Pixie Week. You are assigned another family to take small gifts and treats to. You leave the gift on the doorstep, ring the doorbell, then you run like crazy. We usually get caught on Monday or Tuesday, but not this year. I thought the cake might tip them off, but we actually made it the whole week and didn't tell the family it was us until the Ward Christmas Party. So, this was one of the treats we left. Merry Christmas everyone!

Chicken Little

My friend's son was turning two and loves Chicken Little. She asked me to do a little cake for their family dinner. This is a 6 inch, white cake with buttercream frosting and marshmallow fondant decorations. The little glasses on his face were tough to get right.
