The Painters Pallet

Morgan and her friends were going to Color me Mine for her birthday. So we whipped this out real quick after hearing she didn't have a cake. No Cake? We can't let that happen, Plus Morgan is my biggest fan. She is always coming up with her own ideas to decorate with all the left over frosting and cake scraps. Happy Birthday Morgan!

blue gumball machine

After the orignal gumball machine was made, my cute neighbor requested it in blue for Nicks birthday. We had a few leftover gumballs from the red one so we used them, I really wish the bowl was more full. While I'm complaining about it, the wrinkles and the tears in the fondant Argh! But like I said I'm learning as we go and practice will hopefully make us perfect. I've heard rumor he has hidden the jar of gumballs in his closet and sneaks them out occasionally. He is probably one of those brothers that saves his Halloween or Easter candy until everyone else has eaten theirs and then brings it out to tease the rest of us with it. We love you Nick!

Josh's #2

Josh's second Birthday cake. It's funny looking back on the cakes we've made. This one makes me laugh. One day we could redo this and make it look a little neater, but who cares- the kids love their cakes no matter how messy they are. The candles on top we made out of melted white chocolate chips and colored the tops with food coloring.

May Pole

Emily's First birthday cake. This was fun because we gave her one of the cupcakes to break into and the rest of us could still enjoy the cake.

Spiderman

We liked him so much we've done him twice. Who doesn't like the classic super hero?

emi's princess

My pretty princess for my pretty princess. Emily was so excited for her princess cake. Tyler just wanted to pull off her arms, Josh was checking out her hair, and Emily was just happy sittig next to her.

basketball

Josh Loves Basketball and so of course that was his request. I didn't mind -the sport balls are fun! Especially with all my little three year old helpers in the neighborhood that show up around cake makin time! One day I'll get a picture of their big eyes lined up around the counter tops asking if its done yet.

Sponge Bob

By far the most talked about cake at the boys birtday parties! He was pretty cool. He was very sloppy so I hope one day to redo sponge bob and give him the credit he deserves. We had to eat cake as soon as the boys got there otherwise Sponge Bob was going to dive into the table. His poor eyes were falling off and his head was slipping, which kindof added to the sponge bob look- I guess thats what happens when you take a sponge from the ocean!

Purse

This is the one that started the fondant craze. I made this for the cake display at our Relief Society "Pursonal" enrichment. The desserts were cakes made by women in the ward and displayed bakery style. Nobody would cut into it so I ended up taking the entire thing home for breakfast. (Yes, we will eat cake for breakfast-with a diet coke of course!)

cuppy cake

Quick and Easy! This awesome pan is from Williams-Sonoma. I know Target has something similar to. The nice thing is it probably took 5 minutes to throw the frosting and sprinkles on it and its always a big hit, so I made it for my own birthday.

Gumball Machine

My cute neice was having a birthday and what better then a gumball cake made for the Gumball Queen! That girl can sniff out a pack of bubble gum from anywhere. Maybe thats why I love her so much. Happy Birthday Josie!
