Piece of Cake...

So if you know me you know I {heart} making cakes! The last couple of months I have been baking up a storm. My friends daughter got married and I made her cake, then Lexie's cute friend Gracyn needed a Mermaid cake for her bday, and then a little boy in our neighborhood needed a Lightening McQueen cake for his bday! Whew...thats alot of flour, sugar, butter, and eggs flying around in our house! It has been so much fun though...in need of a cake??? Give me a call!
This cake was BIG and HEAVY! It was carrot cake with cream cheese filling, and frosted with Swiss Buttercream---the bride hates fondant..it was not super easy to get it smooth...but hopefully she liked it!
Happy Birthday cute Gracyn! Mel you did a fabulous job with the party! Lexie had a blast, hopefully Gray liked her cake! This cake was vanilla (died blue per request of the bday girl) with buttercream icing, topped with fondant. The kids weren't sure it they could eat the "sand" but I think crushed graham crackers are okay to eat!
I was excited to make a cake for Logan's 4th birthday, however I had a few cake catastrophies along the way and the cake in my mind didn't quite happen, this was the cake I delivered to his party, it was four layers of chocolate and vanilla cake, layered so it would look kinda like racing stripes (black/white/black/white) when cut into the filling was a light whipped cream and it was frosted with vanilla buttercream topped with fondant.
This was Lightening McQueen part two, after the first cake was delivered, I still wanted to finish this one (originally the top layer to the other cake) There are some rough spots-I'm still learning, but I hope Logan liked it, it was way fun to make! This cake was devils food, frosted and filled with buttercream and topped with fondant.
So there you have it...hopefully all the recipients were happy with the results!
