Fall Cake

As a cancer survivor, I walk in the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Light the Night Walk every year.  Unfortunately as the years go on, it gets more and more difficult to raise money for my cause.  I decided to get creative and had a raffle - anyone who donated at least $5 would be entered into a drawing for a free cake.  The more I raised, the more cakes I would give away.  I raised just over $250.00 so I picked two winners.  One of which wanted a cake for Thanksgiving and gave me free reign on design.  I went with something simple yet elegant and got rave reviews.  Not bad for my first "public" cake.

I Love You Man

My oldest is now 9 and is getting into all kinds of different things.  One of which is tie dye.  In fact, she has a few tie dye shirts that she wears quite often.  I find it a bit comical since I was into tie dye in high school way back in none of your business.

Anyway, once again they think I'm a cake champion and can do anything so here it is, they Tie Dye cake.  I'm actually pretty proud of this cake.  It gave me a chance to dabble with decorating a cake from the inside...

I love how this turned out!!

Look What The Bunny Brought!

Word is slowly spreading about my cake fetish.  My aunt asked me to bring a cake to Easter brunch.  Oh boy, I get to do something I want to do.  Do I go easy or do I go creative?  One night at work, it was slow so I just started looking at cakes online and found a great idea.  A basket cake!  And let me just say that I used chocolate buttercream and that mixed with the kit kats are heaven!!!

Now They Think I Can Do Anything

Happy 7th birthday to my beautiful twins!  My three girls really think I can do anything.  Luckily one of these two is a bit kinder than the other.  Still fancy as always, she wanted a fancy purple cake.  

That was it - no further instructions.  This I can do!

My other twin wanted a pizza party complete with a pizza cake.  I have no idea where she got the idea from, but seriously?  A pizza cake?!  What did people ever do without the Internet for inspiration?

I got an 11-inch cake pan and used buttercream frosting tinted tan.  I made a jelly concoction

for the pizza sauce and candy melts to make the cheese, sausage, pepperoni, and green peppers.

FUN!
