Baking Day

This is a Debbie Brown inspired cake.  My mother inlaw is a chef & she also bakes.  She wanted to a cake for a dinner party.  I thought a good way to describe her is when she's in the kitchen.  My father inlaw is such a patient man, always there calming her.  Orange cake with chocolate frosting covered in marshmellow fondant.  All characters are made out of fondant, egg white is pipping gel & spilled milk is royal icing. 

Baby Boy's World

My 1st cake of the year & also my first cake after 2 months of open hand surgery :D I just LOVE the way this cake came out. I was scared that I was not going to pull it off since it was my first time working with my hands again. The whole cake was at my friend's request. She came with her own drawing & then told me what all she wanted on the cake. At first I was like 'YIKES', but I was extremly happy at how it came out. All figures are made out of fondant & hand molded from scratch. 1st layer of cake is vanilla with buttercream frosting, 2nd is vanilla with chocolate frosting & 3rd layer is chocolate with vanilla frosting, covered in MMF of course :) All bears are chocolate fondant & anything with yellow is banana fondant.

Christmas Hot Chocolate Mugs

This cake was a challenge for me. I did it with one hand!! I recently had hand surgery & I'm suppose to be doing nothing but recovering. "When there's a will, there's a way" I could not help myself & not make a cake for my daughter's daycare. The kiddos are always happy & to hear "Wow", makes the pain that I felt the next day in my hand all worth it!! Hot chocolate anyone?
