A day to relax!

I didn't have any cakes today and didn't know what to do with myself! So, I made buttercream roses today, but in a totally different way. I was inspired by this video on youtube.

(sorry, I don't know how to make it work!)





It is so much easier than using a flower nail.

I made pink, pink with a little white, then white with a little pink. These would look great cascading down the cake...I always hated doing them on a flower nail, but I believe they came out great!

more to tease you with....

Ok, so I included some cookies too....

Some other random cakes that Ive done

Father's Day Cakes

I'm a little far behind in posting but wanted to post some Father's Day Cakes
The first is for my husband, a turkey hunter that missed a turkey a few times, lol.

The second was for my Father in Law who loves racing:)

Ok, so when I loaded them, they loaded backward...

And the next (which will probably load way up to the top....) is a cake I did for a microcredit meeting....

And then I did some bears for my nieces cake:)

That's it.....

Congratulations to the graduating Class of 2008

My son volunteered me to make their graduation cake:)

Graduation Cake

So, today I started work on the grad cake my son volunteered me for.....

Anyhow, I got the cap done today and I think it came out pretty cool! Its covered in fondant, and has fondant tassels on it. (those darn tassels are cut by hand...no fancy cutters for that!). I did make a scroll diploma, but I don't like it, I'll try another one. Plus I made some flower cutters in the school colors.

Making Rootbeer Cupcakes

Made a regular cake, but added rootbeer instead of water. For the glaze: 4 cups confectioners sugar, 1/3 cup plus 3 T. rootbeer, and 3 T. Canola oil. Mix together with a whisk.

Once baked, glaze the cupcakes and let set to dry. Then pipe buttercream on top! Yummy!

So, this will be my first Blog!

Lets see how this goes!
About me: I'm a married mom of 3, hair stylist and I love making cakes, cupcakes & cookies! Most recently I did this beehive cake for my soon to be 89 year old Grandmother:)

I like to be challenged when making these cakes because if I did something wrong I know what to do if I make them again. Today I will be making Rootbeer Float Cupcakes from Rootbeer made locally! mmmm.

I'll post pics of that later!
Thanks for looking at my blog, I hope I do alright:)
