Fit for a Princess!


This one is Julia's first birthday cake. I made it, Zindra decorated it. The design is out of a Wilton Cake decorating book. This cake made us both realize that we could make a cake "look" like one out of a magazine. That was a self confidence boost. This cake is also the cake where she realized that she could pipe pretty lovely things and it really would work. This cake is a farrrr cry from the Incredibles cake!

Let Me Go! - Adios!


One of my co-workers was leaving our work and going to work for a jail. I have often been requested to make the cakes for going away parties at work or birthday parties for work. This one was especially fun because it was one of the first times that we had ventured into the land of fondant. It was fun to use, but it was also a bit difficult to use. Still working on cake construction and holding cakes together....
This one was fun!

Fourth of July Cake 2006

This is our fourth of July cake! A first version of Julia's birthday cake. Julia's is done exactly like the book says... this one is "our" version of the book. After this one was made, it traveled two hours to it's destination to be eaten! So we lost a couple of the yummy blue swirls....
This cake was good for our cake decorating in the fact that Zindra really began to get the hang of decorating with a bag.
And it was fun to work in "red, white and blue".
