Cake Pictures

So, I haven't posted some of the cakes that I've made in the last few months. I was so excited about how some of them turned out. And some of them weren't as cool as I thought they would be. But all of them were fun and I think I am getting better as time goes on and as I make more of them. Anyway, it's my new favorite hobby. And here are the pictures.

This was a birthday cake for a friends little girl who turned 1 in October. They call her their "little monkey"! I LOVE how this super cute monkey cake turned out!


This was another friends birthday cake whose little girl is very into Elmo. The elmo part was a chocolate mold, and it had some issues, but still looked ok, just not as good as I'd hoped. It was supposed to look like Elmo popping out of a present, but I can't be sure it looked exactly as planned. But it was still fun.


This birthday cake was for a friends little boy who turned 2. And the Dad is a huge Superman fan, I'm pretty sure his son is following in his footsteps there though.


These next two were for a French themed Christmas party for a friend. The chocolate mint mouse cake was super easy and I made one ahead of time to make sure it turned out and it was really yummy. The Christmas Tree made out of cream puffs was a struggle for me. Everything I found said to glue it together with this carmel that you make from sugar and water, and then you were supposed to take the mold out of inside of it. But I could never get the thing to stay up after you took it out. Finally I just decided to leave it in. I felt kind of bad though, because it didn't turn out as well as I'd wanted it to. But I still think it was pretty.



This one was for my mother in law's birthday. And I think it turned out great! I hope she likes it. I just love that it's simple, yet very pretty! We hope you have a great birthday Teresa!


I think Rett gets sick of my little hobby, but it has been so much fun playing around and figuring out how to make some really fun cakes!
