Cupcake Flower

I'm back! After finally getting settled into our new home in Virginia, I've gotten to do a little baking! And here is the first official cake I've done! A cupcake flower cake. I had to use the picture I took with my cell phone... the one I took with my nice camera seems to have disappeared!

Free Gourmet Apple

Want a free gourmet apple? Thought so. Ivan Mog is offering free samples of your choice until 05.01.10! Thanks to Be Different Act Normal, I found out about this and have requested mine. No strings attached. It just might take 4-6 weeks for it to get to you. (while supplies last) I can wait.

HMH-362 Ugly Angels Cake

I was asked to make this huge cake for our squadron's Change of Command today. I used 4-12 inch square pans and butted the cakes together (2 chocolate, 2 white) to make this huge cake. I had my husband cut a cake board for me out of plywood to ensure that is would support the weight of the cake.

I am NOT a fan of fondant, so I make rolled buttercream. I iced the cake in buttercream, and then used the rolled buttercream for the "Olaf" a.k.a. Ugly Angel. I was pleased with how this all turned out!

GO UGLY!

Baby Rump Cake

This was the cutest cake I've ever made for a baby shower! 

You can find the link with instructions on how to make it here.

Thomas the Tank Engine Cake

Soccer Cake

A quick cake I made for my son's 5th birthday last weekend. Soccer balls are definitely a weakness of mine.

Elephant Cake

It's been a while since I've baked a cake.... here is a big elephant cake I did for a friend's son's 1st birthday!
(I filled in the cracks after the photo was taken)
I made a 2 layer 9x13 white cake and used buttercream fondant and cut out elephants on the side with an elephant cookie cutter.

Then I made one 6 inch and one 9 inch chocolate cake for the elephant's body and head, then made cupcakes and stacked 2 for each foot.

The trunk is buttercream fondant, and the ears are frosted cardboard cut outs.
