Reincarnation....


Ok, so this is the reincarnation of that anniversary cake that got buggered by the humidity! I closed the windows and turned on the AC for this one! It's the same cake - vanilla with key lime filling and buttercream icing. I didn't want to do exactly the same thing twice, so this one got garlands instead of polka dots! :-)

First Incarnation....


Ok, so this is a first anniversary cake that I was asked to make spur of the moment! It's a vanilla cake with key lime filling (YUM!) and buttercream icing. Unfortunately, we had the windows open for a while after a decorated this one and the humidity caused the buttercream to get kind of funky, so I redecorated it at midnight! :-)

Blue Hydrangea Wedding Shower Cake


This is a wedding shower cake I made to serve 40 people. I was told the shower would be decorated with blue hydrangeas. The plan was to use some fresh flowers on top of the cake. It's a vanilla cake with buttercream icing.

First Catering Job...


This is a cake I made for a baby shower. It's a chocolate cake with chocolate icing. I also did full catering for this shower - my first experience doing that! I made homemade rolls to use for sandwiches, homemade southwestern potato salad, homemade BLT pasta salad, and fruit salad. It was a fun event!

A Beary Happy Birthday



These cakes were for a first birthday party. The large 3D bear was for the party guests and the small 3D bear was for the baby to destroy! These were vanilla cakes with buttercream icing. The other little bears were ones that I had made with extra batter and just went ahaed and decorated because I didn't know what else to do with them! I figure extra cake never ruined a party!

Baby Bears


This cake was for a small baby shower for a baby boy who was born premature. It's a strawberry cake with buttercream icing.

A Special First Birthday.....


This little cake is a first birthday cake for a sweet little girl who shares my name, Leah! It's a strawberry cake with buttercream icing. This cake was for a small get together held on her actual birthday. I made her a bigger more exciting cake for her party a few days later.

Bright Birthday Fun


This is a birthday cake that I made for a young lady. It's vanilla cake with buttercream icing.
