Ordination Anniversary


Our Priest, Father Michael Forge, celebrated the 10th Anniversary of his Ordination. I jumped at the opportunity to make the cake for the party. It's 2 layers of Dark Chocolate Cake with a Turquoise and Chocolate Brown frosting. (I wanted it to be Baby Blue and Chocolate but I put too much coloring...oops!) Still, I think it turned out OK. The number 10 is actually made of House Numbers from the the hardware section, that are dipped in melted chocolate. Very cool! (The picture above is blurry)

1st Communion


I had the honor of being asked by our church's director of religious education to decorate the cakes for the 1st Communion Reception. It was ALOT of cake... and I mean alot of volume. I guess this small homemaker just doesn't have the stamina (or the oven space). I don't plan on doing it again but I look forward to making more center-pieces in the future!

Happy 1st Birthday John Paul


For my son's first birthday I decided to make a 3-D train cake. I couldn't find the 3-D pan at the store so I made my own with mini loaf pans and twinkies. The track is made out of licorice, the wheels are made out of big & small oreos, & the smoke is made of cotton candy.

Wedding Cake #2

My client happened to be my husband's 2nd cousin. They needed to feed 200+ people. The colors were light & dark ivory. I wasn't too thrilled on the shades that I got out of the icing, but the bride approved before I made the cake... so that's all that counts! See detailed pics below. (Sizes are 16", 12", 9", 6")

Happy Birthday Pepere


Happy Birthday to my Pepere again! Yummy Chocolate on butter golden cake. The rosettes are numbered 6 on the left and 9 on the right because he turned 69 and that's where the candles went.

Graduation (JC's Head)


I made this cake for J.C.'s graduation. He once joked about me make a cake the shape of his head. Well, I took him seriously. The hat is a big sugar cookie again like Kendra's (at the top of the page) and the tassle was his actual tassle. The cupcakes spelled out "Congratulations J.C."
