The Poker Cake

Steven came home from Iraq for some R and R this past week. We are so happy to have him home, even if it is just for 2 weeks. While he's been in Iraq, he turned 21 so we had a party for him. I, of course, made a cake for the occasion. Here it is...

The Valentine's Day Cake

I'm somewhat proud of this cake I just made. I was up pretty late finishing it and hopefully everyone at Jessie's Theatre Production after party will enjoy eating it too!. Obviously, I used the gum paste roses on the cake. I think it turned out well!

Roses are pink...

My friend Mignon is helping with an event this weekend in Sumner, The Wine Walk. Her daughter will be performing with her theatre group and the theme is weddings and the 40's. To assist in their project, and to get some hopeful advertisement for myself I am making a cake for the after party. Today I made my first gumpaste roses. The first one I made I followed the directions in the book and it's in need of some love. The next ones I made I basically just did what I felt was realistic. Here is a picture of the few I have made so far.

The castle cake

Here is the cake I made for my good friends daughter. She turned 8 this month. She really loved the cake and I had fun making it.
