Twin Birthday Cake

I grew up with two amazing cousins, Michael and Mishelle, who also happen to be boy/girl twins. They are seriously two of my favorite people and ever since I really got into making cakes I've wanted to make them one for their birthday, I just wasn't sure what I wanted to do. This year I jumped at the chance to make a cake for their birthday bash. So in a joint effort with Rachael (the birthday boy's wife), we came up with a really fun cake. It was a ton of work but also a lot of fun to do. This was cherry chip cake with buttercream and fondant.

Dora the Explorer

This Dora the Explorer birthday cake was for my niece Shelby. I decided to try my hand at homemade fondant this time around and I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to work with and it tasted much better.

Back to Back Weddings

Here are two wedding cakes I did in August. I may have taken on a little too much doing back to back weekends, but when all was said and done I was pretty happy with both cakes. That and the fact that my family is all still living makes it a success! ;)

This was for Shauna and Tyler. Vanilla cake with buttercream and fondant. Fun colors, classic design.

This was for Emillie and Adam. Marble cake with buttercream. First time doing marble cake and I loved it. Also first time to do the offset design. Loved the assortment of flowers she picked, but mostly the hydrangeas on this cake.
