Finally Fondant!



I finally made a fondant cake! It wasn't as difficult as I was expecting. The cake was 3 layers. All white cake, 1 filled with lemon curd, 1 filled with raspberry jelly. Yummy.

Mothers' Day





My sister-in-law and I always try to make something nice for our mother-in-law each year. She is so good to us that it's just a very small way for us to show our appreciation. This year we made a bouquet of roses. They were mini cupcakes skewered into a vase. The leaves are white chocolate formed on toothpicks.

Switzerland/USA Cake


There was a Swiss student attending our church for a while. I made this cake for his last Sunday before returning home.

Grandpap's 80th



Tim's grandfather shares a birthday with my twins. It's always fun to be at his birthday parties. My sister-in-law Laura and I made him this patriotic cake this year.

Little Mermaid & Hockeyey


My twins turned five today. Here's their birthday cakes.

Joey loves hockey, specifically the Pittsburgh Penguins. I put 11 on the sleeves in honor of his favorite player, Jordan Staal. The rest of the players' numbers are on the edge of the cake.


Bekah wanted a Little Mermaid cake, but I didn't want to do the dress like I did last year, so this is what resulted.

Erika - 1


My little girl loves Eat N' Park cookies.

She was the picture-perfect first birthday party cake eater. :-)

Batman Cow Cake

My youngest boy just turned 3. For years he has loved all things cow. I was all geared up for a fantastic cow cake, but the week before his party he started arguing that he needed a Batman cake. I wasn't willing to completely abandon the cow theme, so I merged themes. Introducing probably the first and only Batman cow cake.



I think he liked it. :-)
