Treasure Map!

My Little brother was turning 15 and asked my parents if he could celebrate his birthday with his sisters in Utah. Johnny loves hunting for treasure so this is the cake I put together for him. It is a chocolate cake with chocolate filling, buttercream frosting and topped with a fondant map that was hand drawn using edible ink. I wish the jewels had been edible but I still haven't learned how to do sugar work yet, nor can I afford those fun silicone jewel molds. All in good time. :)

Over all I think the birthday boy loved it. 

The sale price of this cake would have been $29.64

So Sweet!

When I came home from the boutique Saturday night I opened the garage door and found this...

My little man (helped by daddy) made a sign for me! I also walked into a clean house! Then I found this in the bathroom...

My hubby made his own sign for me. :) It was so nice to come home to a clean home and two great guys that love me so much.

Fall Boutique!

This was my display at the fall boutique. I brought the cake pops, black forest and pina colada cupcakes as well as spaghetti cupcakes! I look forward to the next time I can participate in a boutique like this. It was a lot of fun and I made a bunch of great new friends.

Halloween Cake Pops!

I made some spice cake and cream cheese cake pops for a fall boutique that I did with some friends. Cute huh?

Celtic Themed Wedding!

My first wedding cake ever!!! My Aunt was getting married in California and when my mom and I got there my aunt asked if I would decorate her cake. She baked the cake and made all the frosting and even her own fondant! I was so happy to help and it turned out great! She even gave me the recepie for home made marshmallow fondant. From now on I will be making my own fondant because this stuff is so yummy! This fondant you actually eat and not scrape off.
