Eli's nursery was decorated in giraffes. So for his 1st birthday I did this Carousel Cake. I love how excited he looks in the background ...waiting for his slice!
Eli's 2nd birthday cake. Old McDonald Had a Farm! (sing it with me) EEEII, EEII, OOOOO! (Or in this case.... EEEli, EEli, OOO! ) This was a fun one to make. I felt like I was back in elementary school creating a diorama or something. I love the little rabbit on the side of the barn chillin out, and the pigs in their mud pit!
Not every year is a winner with a full blown cake. Life happens ya know.... This was Eli's 3rd birthday. Simple and sweet "Strawberry" (his favorite flavor) cupcakes! MMMMM!!
Alayna:This was Alayna's 1st birthday cake. Her nursery was decorated in Sunbonnet Sue, but her baby shower cake was done with her on it, so I took the liberty of using one of my favorite characters for her cake. Tinkerbell!!!!
This was also my first attempt at using fondant. It turned out pretty well, but I can tell where I could have done better. They say practice makes perfect. :)
Alayna's 2nd birthday cake. Anyone that knows my little Laney Bug knows about her bizarre and sometimes disturbing obsession with shoes. So I only found it fitting to make her a Shoe Cake for her birthday!
Mom:
This was the most recent cake I've made for my Mom's 59th birthday. It was a German Chocolate cake. It was pretty and tasty. I think I'm coming along very nicely!
My Dad's birthday is next week.....you'll just have to wait in suspense until then!!!!!
