The chocolate cake is a chocolate pound cake with chocolate icing. I did the decorating in cream cheese and surprisingly enough it came out ok. I like the idea of decorating with a soft icing, but one has to be careful because the icing is sensitive to everything. The second cake is one that I did for Christmas 2 years ago. The cake itself if a pound cake with royal icing decorations. The decorations are edible and taste like candy. Again, this cake did not last long at our house during the holidays. I am especially proud of the holiday cake because of the colors. The icing was made out of cream cheese as well and from the reviews of the crowd it was definitely a pleaser.




Everyone has asked me about my cakes. So here are just some random pictures of cakes that I've done over the past few years. I'm sure I could tell a story about each one, but I'll let the work speak for itself! Hmmm.....on second thought let me explain. The cake on the top left is a birthday cake that I did for a former student of mine. It was her birthday and her mom commissioned me to make something special because my student's (Kendra) favorite color is blue. So I added the flowers just to make it look festive, but the reviews from the party goers was phenomenal. Everyone said it tasted really good. That is news that I always like hearing! The second cake on the top right is the red velvet cake that I did for Christmas last year. This one was really good because I didn't last a whole day. I should have cut the cake so you could see hte inside of it, but I'll remember to do that next time. The third cake on the bottom left was my mom's birthday cake last year (05). For the 60th birthday I bought some festive candles to commemorate the new decade, but last year I went for a subtle approach. Needless to say this cake lasted a while because mom likes to savor everything. She put it in the freezer after she cut what she wanted. By the way these cakes freeze beautifully. The next cake looks like a halloween cake but I made it for J. R's (aka Lil 'Bud) thanksgiving party at day care! I love this cake it was so much fun to create and I had a good time doing it as well. Well, here are just a few random pictures with different themes. Let me know what you think! Have a great day.
