more baking

This week Alex had some time off of school so we decided to spend some time baking cupcakes on Tuesday. We made lemon cupcakes with a buttercream frosting which we dyed a reddish pinkish color.


aren't they pretty???
Then for Thanksgiving I made cherry pie cupcakes. They are a vanilla cupcake with buttercream frosting that I colored a light brown. I used red M&M's to look like cherries and then decorates them to look like pies. We were debating if it looked better with out the decoration around the sides so I did half and half. I guess you can decide which looks better.

Birthday cake

Over the weekend I made a birthday cake for my sister in law. It is a chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream frosting and some pom pom flowers on top. It was the first time I had made chocolate frosting and it tasted very good but was a pain in the butt to get to the right consistency. The cake also had strawberry filling...I'm not going to lie...it was pretty tasty.

Monkey cake take 1

So my friends husband had a birthday the other week and we went to celebrate with them over the weekend. And for it she asked me to make a monkey cake, which will also be the cake I make for addies birthday. Here are some of the pictures of the cake.

Last class

Here is the cake I made for my last cake decorating class. I know the colors are crazy but I had them left from last week and did not want to have to throw them away so that is why the cake was frosted orange.And I like how the roses turned out. Depending on how firm the frosting is they will be smoother or more open like mine. I prefer mine but to each their own.Oh and once again it was a vanilla cake with strawberry filling.
