Elder Hegland

A Trailer.
A Deer.

Dead possum, and the culprit.



Squirrel.




Spencer's cousin just got home from his West Virginia mission. His mom asked me to make his birthday cake with a little touch of backwoods to it.

All the animals are made of fondant and painted with food paste.

Welcome home Garret!






Castle Cake










The ultimate fairy tale castle cake for my sweet little Savannah. I found some cute ideas online and created this cute cake. The cake layers weren't tall enough so I made rice krispie treats in the same cake pans and put a layer beneath the cake.

Rainbow chip cake, with vanilla filling... ice cream cones covered in poured fondant.









Blake

Blake C.'s 25th Birthday. He was headed to Lake Powell, so I only thought this fitting:)

Hope you had a Blast!

Play Ball!

My mother-in-law actually made this cake for a family party and asked if I would decorate it for her. Pssst, she replaced the oil in the cake mix with pureed black beans... so tasty.

It make it just that much "healthier" if you will, than with using oil.

Drew is a big time Yankees fan, since he is one (a yankee) and all... so I thought this would be fitting. Happy Birthday Drew!





This was a carrot cake I did for my friends mom's birthday. Joyce is very much a fan of visiting Hawaii... Happy Birthday Joyce, and many more!

Raspberry dessert cup




My Aunt Dorina asked if I would make the dessert for a shower she was throwing for a cousin. The colors for the wedding were pink and black. We decided on dark chocolate balloon cups with raspberry sherbet , blackberries, and a mint leaf for decoration. They were absolutely delicious!




*If you make the cups do not use chocolate a'peels, they do not work!!!!!


Guittard extra dark chocolate chips work great!

Caroline




This is how I found my adorable mess of a 2-year-old the other day. Even though this was a few days before her birthday, we have hit the terrible-two's full force!

We had a Pooh-bear birthday cake, vanilla with vanilla buttercream, she was so excited she kept asking if she could see the pan before I made it.


The blue & purple dots are the cutest balloon candles I found at the grocery store.

She was a pretty happy birthday girl!


Earlier in the day I was sitting at the computer which is around the corner of the play room and I heard "Mommy, I'm stuck, mommy, I'm stuck!" And this is what we found. She is definitely my cute little mess!

Prima Ballerina








This was for a little girls who will someday be the prima ballerina!


The cake is strawberry with vanilla frosting.


The ballerina was a google image printed on cardstock...and I bought the tube of black frosting. It's so much easier to buy a tube when you are using so little of a color that you want dark.


Way to go Eliza!






ps. I did a wedding cake last week with a similar color scheme and it turned out to be one of my favorites. Silly me, I didn't take my camera get a picture of it.


So I am relying on others to send them to me. I'll post them as soon as I get them :)
