Elf Cake

The Elf cake was taken from an awesome idea found on a fellow decorators website to be used as a 50th birthday cake. The Elves were a blast to make and actually quite simple! I will definitely be making this one again soon.

Daisy Cake

This simple cake was a birthday cake for a friend and had a basic yellow cake with rich chocolate icing. The cake was topped with fresh gerber daisies and a simiple ribbon wrapping the bottom of the cake to bring out the bright colors. The cake was absolutely delicious and was a great hit with the friends!

Made in August 2010

Getting Started

After watching women in my family cook and bake for 18 years, I decided to make a very simple pumpkin cake while at home from college one weekend. Despite my lack of experience and disinterest in cake baking and decorating, I found a new hobby that day in October. I didn't make my next cake for about 7 months. Just a few months and my first tier cake later I was hooked on cake decorating.

I have come to really enjoy decorating many different kinds of cakes from tiered cakes to character cakes to some difficult specialty cakes using buttercream icings. Finally I identified cake decorating as a passion of mine and signed up for two cake decorating classes through Wilton to refine my icing skills and learn specific techniques using fondant and gum paste.

I am truely excited to see what every new day and occassion brings to help me learn as much as possible. All cakes posted on this blog are cakes I have made. I appriciate any comments and tips you may have.
