I have been creating cakes for myself and others in my spare time. I love to bake, whether its cake or pies or just something new. These are some of my creations and my experiments.
This was a birthday cake for my sister-in-law's 40th birthday.
This is a lattice crust apple pie.
This was a 3 tier cake for a baby shower.
This is a double crust beehive cherry pie.
This was my husband's birthday cake. Devil's chocolate cake with fudge filling and chocolate ganache topping.
Cupcakes I made at Christmas.
Michael Jackson birthday cake.
I decided to try out some jar baking. This was an apple pie baked in a mason jar.
Banana chocolate chip bread baked in a mason jar.
Chocolate cake baked in a mason jar with vanilla icing and chocolate sprinkles.
Cherry pie baked in a mason jar.
I figured out that mason jars were also great just for storing cookies. These are chocolate chip.
I baked the mason jars inside a pan so they wouldn't slide around and fall over.
I experimented with all different sizes of mason jars. The hardest ones were the large ones.
Sugar cookies with blue crystalized sugar.
This was the ladybug cake that I made for my own babyshower. Its all made out of fondant.
This was the cake for my daughter's first birthday. Everything is made out of fondant except the water.
I wasn't super happy with the way the surfboards and the towel turned out. And the palm trees were heavy and kept falling over.
These are mini cheesecakes I made for my sister-in-law's bridal shower.
This was a nursing cake I made for someone's birthday/nursing graduation.
This is an open book cake I made for someone's retirement party.
Pumpkin pie.
Raspberry bavarian cake. My husband showed me a picture and told me I wouldn't be able to make it, so I proved him wrong.
The outside is a wall of chocolate.
This is the cake I made for my sister-in-law's bridal shower. First attempt with fondant. Took a lot longer than I thought it would but I think it turned out really good.
This was the finished cake at the shower. I used brown sugar to look like sand.
This is a stacked book cake for a retirement party. This one was actually pretty difficult to make.
