It felt a little funny writing my own name on a cake...

 So I decided to make my own birthday cake (against everyone's will) & it was the first time I used fondant, gumpaste & stacked tiers. So needless to say it was a little stressful, but I do like the way it turned out! It's simple & elegant & it's not perfect but neither am I. Enjoy =)

Red Velvet & A Retirement Cake

I am so excited, I got my very own logo,business cards & stickers for my new endeavor & I am in love with the design (from dreamlike magic). This week I am making a sample cake for an engagement party & a retirement cake for my husband's boss -- my first beer bucket cake. I am really excited my date book is starting to fill, I am learning all sorts of new things & loving every minute of it!!

Oreo Cake

Today I started on a birthday cake for a coworker who loves chocolate, so I decided to do a chocolate cake with oreo filling and chocolate icing with oreo accents. Thanks for looking.
