Baby Showers!

Baby showers are so fun! Especially when I get to make something for it! A friend of mine is having a baby any day now {yay!} and recently had a baby shower. I was lucky enough to get to make her TWO cakes for her special day. A real cake, and a diaper cake.

I've always wanted to make a diaper cake. It's not something you can decide to make one day and make it. You have to have a reason to make it. I was a slightly giddy when I found out I could make one. {You can ask my husband, he can vouch for my childish like excitement when I get to make something new!} It turned out really cute! I hope I get to make another one, it was so easy. They real cake I made is another story. I've decided I don't like working with fondant. It's cool and you can really do a lot with it, but I am so much better with just plain old frosting. Maybe I'm just out of practice. Here are my two cakes. Love 'em!

Cake Anyone?

I made this cake for my daughter's birthday. It was fun to make and it turned out pretty good! The bottom is a home made gluten free carrot cake...one of my favorites...and the top is a box mix that my daughter picked out. Both tiers are covered in fondant. I added a satin ribbon around the base of each and then cut out fondant flowers. The mobile is made of the fondant flowers with the ribbon tied to it. It was delicious!

Cakes

This slide show contains some examples of cakes and other goodies I have made.

Unfortunately I can't get it to work, so click here to see it.

I love cake decorating and baking. It's a great way to be creative and expressive. (Maybe I've just been watching too much "Ace of Cakes.") Anyway...all of the items pictured can be made Gluten Free. I've been baking gluten free for myself for many years, and have recently added one of my children to that list.

I make cakes and other goodies for all occasions. Listed here are some cake flavors that I make.
