Sweet Thanksgiving Feast

Okay, so no offense to the other cakes I've made but by far these were my favorites! These cupcakes were for a party at work right around Thanksgiving. For our Thanksgiving "feast" we have turkey, mashed potatoes with gravy and butter, peas and carrots and pumpkin and cherry pies. I got the idea from the 2 new magazines I bought, "Hello Cupcake". Everyone loved these and I had SO much fun making them!

The Force

I had so much fun making these cupcakes! This was for Dylan's birthday, I want to say his 7th. So he requested chocolate cupcakes with chocolate icing and a Star Wars theme so, we have Darth Vader, Chewbacca and Yoda! Also, if you look at the way they're layed out, it sort of looks like Darth Vader's helmet and I didn't even try to do that, lol!

Carter's Camo

Carter just turned 12, he had a paintball party and wanted a camo cake to celebrate! This cake was a white cake with vanilla frosting and then covered in fondant. In stead of coloring the fondant I actually painted the camo look. Happy Birthday Carter!

Princess Mackenzie

Hole in One

So this was for a family friend's birthday. Jerry loves golf, so this is a golf ball sitting in a patch of grass! I wish I could've made little holes in the golf ball like a regular golf ball, but he still liked it! Happy Birthday Jerry!

Ariel is so my favorite

First of all, when I was growing up, Ariel was AMAZING! She was my favorite, I loved the movie, had a sleeping bag and had a doll, and she's still my favorite, but this isn't about me! This cake I made for my niece Maegan, she turned 5 and wanted a princess cake! The characters are frozen buttercream transfers that actually worked! This was my first time to use the transfers and they turned out pretty good I think! I definitely learned some tricks while working with the transfers and have a better idea of what to do next time. This cake was so much fun to make because I felt like I was 5 again, it really makes me want to go back and watch all my VHS movies with these princesses! Thanks for taking me back Maegan and Happy Birthday sweetie! 

Quilting

So I made this cake for a relative of a friend at church. The family was having a baby shower and my friend asked if I could make a cake with butterflies similar to the ones on the actual baby's quilt, I decided how about I do the whole quilt? So here it is, the actual cake at the top, the quilt on the right. I know they're not identical, but I thought they were pretty close! I did have to change it up a bit in order to fit the wording in, but I really liked this cake, it was definitely special because of the uniqueness!
