Google Cake










This is one of my favorites! A Google cake for the teacher of a computers class. It was a ton of fun to make ad it came out great! It's a yellow sheet cake on the bottom and styrofoam on top (this was just so that people could still look at the design after the cake was cut). Both pieces are covered in fondant.

Tea for Two - State Fair 2009

Hey there! 
Every year I like to enter a cake (and sometimes cookies as well :-)) into the state fair! Well, it's about that time of year and I'm starting to get excited!
Here's a look at what I did last year-- It won a blue ribbon!!!
(this is not actual cake. The fair suggests you use styrofoam so that the cake doesn't get gross when it has to sit in the showroom for 3 weeks!)


Just starting...

Teapot: DONE!




Finished product! I think it came out well!




Reassembling at the fair...

Inspecting...

Done!


Question of the Day: What your favorite State Fair food?

Purse Cake


This is a cake I made for a 15th birthday party. It's a yellow cake with vanilla frosting. This was a fun challenge! It was one of my first carved cakes. And what girl wouldn't love a purse on her birthday? :)
