     I have done some baking...not too many cakes since the birth of our second son.  But here are some pics of what I have been doing.


 
 








This was my dad's 70th birthday cake.  It was chocolate with a mango filling in between the layers.












This hamburger cake was made for a Wednesday night dinner at church.  It was fun to make and was a big hit with the kids.
This was another one of my first fondant cakes. 
These are my Fancy Cupcakes some of them have fondant.  I made these for a bake sale.
 
 The Cow Head cake was for a cake walk at church along with the Breast Cancer Awarness Cake.  The cow was done with cocoa powder and the eyes were made with mini chocolate chips.  If I had of thought about it before hand I would've melted the chips and made solid circles for the eyes.  I'm sure that this isn't going to be the first time that I make this one so practice makes perfect.
 
This is just one of the tie dyed cupcakes I made for a bake sale. I didn't use any special packaging or any special kit for these.  Just plain old food coloring.  
 
 
 


       






      My Garden Variety mini cupcakes.  Made for GA  (Girls  in Action church group) bake sale.
 
The Oyster Bed cupcakes


                                                                                          This was my Christmas Poinsettia cake.  I made the cake from scratch along with the fondant.  The cake was rather dry so I will be trying a different recipe next time around.
 

I keep practicing my roses.  I can't tell you how many trys it took me just to be okay with the ones I put on my daddy's cake.  This cake was just chocolate all the way.

This was my New Year/Birthday cake.  I made this for a church member and for skating.  The top hat lifted off to be her personal cake.  This was a fun cake to make.
