Boomer Sooners!

So this was the cake I made for my sister-in-law, Amy. Amy is the mom of my niece who wanted the half razorback half OU cake I posted a couple of days ago. The cake is a checkerboard design that I saw on a cake show and really wanted to try out, it was a little difficult but with some more trial runs I think I could get it down pretty well. The cake was chocolate and vanilla with homeade buttercream icing and I had fun making it for a great sister-in-law!

Surprise!


So this was a cake for my aunt's surprise birthday party, I absolutely loved this cake! The cake is lime green with a zebra center, obviously, and then I did a monogram look for her initials because my aunt does beautiful monogramming, I really enjoyed doing this cake!

Home Divided


So I made this cake for my niece Savannah, she comes from a home that's divided, no, not like a divorced family, but a divided football family. Savannah's dad, my brother, is an Arkansas Razorbacks fan and her mom is an OU Sooners fan, so Savannah is a fan of both and decided to have that on her cake! This cake was really fun to make, I knew each family member would be pleased! The cake was chocolate with homeade buttercream, the OU part was REALLY easy, the razorback was a little harder but definitely worth it! Happy Birthday Savannah!

Baby Cakes

So this is one of the most recent cakes I did, it was a baby shower cake for my cousin Aimee and her daughter Karson. Karson was a premi and we didn't get to have her with us at the shower but she's home and healthy now, what a blessing! The cake was strawberry with homeade fondant, and the pink circles are strawberry milk duds. The cake turned out great and complimented the goregous decorations my sister and grandmother did. Loved doing this cake, it was made with lots of love! Welcome home baby Karson!
