Gum paste flowers

This was a cake for a lady that is being given a very big award for all of her mission work and work she has for for the church. It was my first attempt at making flowers using gum paste. I never thought it would be as hard as it was. It took me about 3 hours to make all the flowers and the leaves. I am very proud on how well they all turned out.

This was a cake I did for a 4 year old. He is really into cars and I thought it would be neat to make a monster truck cake so he could play with then after they were off the cake. I was really happy on how the "dirt" turned out. I used crushed oreos and also chocolate milk mix. This was a 8" round cake (double layered) then I used two cupcake tops for monster trucks to be climbing over.

I did a cake special for Valentines Day this year and it was a 8" heart with a few choice for frosting color and words. I had three sold and only remember to get picture of the other two. Ooops! This is the only that I liked the best anyway.

These are a some of the Birthday cakes I have done. The zebra number '2' was for a little two year old girl that was having a jungle theme party. I also did 55 cupcakes to go with it. The bright colored on I did was for a 11 year old girl. She is a cousin of Greg's and it was a surprised party she had no idea that it was going on until we all jumped out and yelled! The last picture was pretty self explanatory. It was for Greg's uncle and his daughter. He started at his job around the time she was born and retired at the end of December.

Christmas cakes

Here are the three Christmas cakes I did this past Christmas. I have been having a really great time using this and that as patterns on the cakes. The one with the stocking was for a work lunch they provided for us and the other two was for Greg's Aunt Nancy. I am hoping this coming Holiday season I will have a lot more cake to do.
