Orange Rolls

What a yummy way to enjoy some of the Christmas oranges we received!

Decorated Sugar Cookies

These cookies are made with a little almond flavoring in them to make them extra special!

Anniversary Cake

This is a 6" anniversary cake for my parents. It's a chocolate cake with chocolate filling. It was really yummy.

Fruit Cake and Fudge

It's that time of year again! I made 3 fruitcakes this year. I also have been making lots of fudge. I've made 25 pounds of fudge so far, and will probably make another 15 pounds before Christmas gets here! I love Christmas time.

Filled Chocolate Cupcakes

I filled these cupcakes with white frosting, then iced them with a chocolate frosting swirl. They're like eating a "ho-ho", but they're much better!

Halloween Eclairs

Here is another Halloween treat I made.

Witch's Broom

This isn't a cake. It is a green onion cheese ball! It will be so cute at the Halloween party.

Enter If You Dare

This Haunted Castle is in honor of Halloween! Happy Halloween!

Cheer Bear

Volleyball

A guy Jon works with surprised his wife with this cake for her 24th birthday. She loves volleyball. I hope she loves the cake just as much!

Cookie Demo

These are the cookies I decorated while I was doing a demo at the Robert's store.

Soccer Party

This is the cake that I made for the party Caleb's soccer team is having after his last game tonight.

Luau Cake

This cake was made for a surprise 16th birthday party for a friend's daughter. They had a luau party for her. I had so much fun making this cake. It's a 1/2 sheet cake with 2 mini wonder mold (hula girls) cakes on top. I made the flowers out of royal icing and the sea shells out of candy melts and dusted them with pearl dust.

Wedding Cake

This wedding cake is made of 3 tiers. The top tier is a 6" spice cake filled with cream cheese filling. The 10" cake is a vanilla cake with lemon filling. The 14" cake is chocolate fudge with Bavarian cream filling.

Flower

Pink petals, yellow sprinkles and a white border all make this cake look so cute.

Barbie

Happy Birthday, Sierra. The Barbie cake is a chocolate cake and the cupcakes are vanilla. I really liked making the dress on the Barbie cake. It was so fun! Everything is made of buttercream frosting (except for the plastic rings on the cupcakes and the actual Barbie doll), and I added some edible glitter to make it sparkle.

Make a Splash

For Caleb's 5th birthday we are having a "water party" for him and his little friends. There will be lots of fun with the pool, slip 'n' slide, sprinklers and this fun water slide cake! He thought it was so awesome.

Dora the Explorer!

Chocolate Eclairs

Chocolate eclairs are one of Jon's favorite desserts. So, I decided to make some for him to take to a pot luck lunch at work. I'm sure they'll go fast. After I made the eclair shells I made some homemade cream filling (basically a cooked pudding), frosted them with chocolate frosting and added a special touch by putting a rosebud on each one.

Good News and Bad News...

The good news is...I won a first place ribbon with this cake at the Salt Lake County Fair.

The bad news is...so did everyone else (except the ONE entry who got 2nd place).

It was still a fun experience to enter a cake at the county fair. I know if I do it again my cake will have to be on a grander scale to win any of the "real prizes" (i.e. Sweepstakes, Best of Show, Judges Favorite, or High Blue). The cakes that were there were amazing.

Edible Images

My friend, Amber Halversen, and her family came from southern Arizona to Provo for BYU graduation. They stayed with us one night and it just happened to be her twin girls' birthday! I was happy I had the chance to make a cake for them. I used whipped cream frosting and edible images. It was my first time using edible images and I thought they worked great. Thanks for letting me be a part of Morgan and Annika's birthday!

Princess Leah's Castle

Princess Leah has a castle made of 4 cakes and 15 cups of icing! The upper floor (8") is chocolate, and the main floor (12") is strawberry. Her garden is full of light and dark purple flowers (over 300 of them!). And cake sparkles make the whole thing even more special! Happy 3rd birthday, Leah.

Ellie

Ellie Anne Laymon was blessed on August 5th and this is the cake I brought to the luncheon. It's covered in fondant and the pink decorations are painted with a pink pearl dust to make them sparkle!

Wilton Kids Camp Cupcakes

These are the cupcakes I taught some kids how to make at the Wilton Kids Camp held at Roberts. They all had fun making their own creations.

Happy Father's Day

This is a german chocolate cake with coconut/pecan filling between the layers. I wish all the dad's out there, especially my own dad and my husband, a Happy Father's Day!

Summer Party Cupcakes

I made these for a pot-luck picnic we are going to. They're going to go fast!

Happy un-Birthday Mom!

We are going to be on vacation for my mom's birthday, so I made her a cake before we left. She got to take it to work and share it with her co-workers.

Polka Dots and Stripes

This cake is covered and decorated in marshmallow fondant. The ribbon roses and the bow are the only things made out of pre-made gum paste. The 10" layer is Swiss Chocolate cake with chocolate bavarian cream filling. The 6" top layer is white cake with raspberry filling. I hope you and your family enjoyed it, Linda! I really enjoyed making it.

5 Little Dinosaurs Cake

My nephew turned 5 years old and this is the cake that my sister-in-law and I made. The volcano was shaped and then covered in chocolate frosting and then we added crushed oreo "lava rocks". The lava is colored piping gel, and so is the pond water. We made the trees from royal icing leaves and pretzel sticks. Five little dinosaurs and 5 little trees were the perfect touch for a 5-year-old birthday party!

Baby Shower

This is a baby shower cake I got to make for my good friend, Amber. It's a 6" and 9" cake covered in Marshmallow Fondant and decorated with gumpaste decorations. The 9" cake is a blue/white checkerboard cake inside. I would guess that this one took me around 4 hours to decorate. Congratulations Amber and Ryan!

pretty in pink (and brown)

10" square base is covered in pink MMF. The top 4" layer is covered in pre-colored brown fondant. I love working with fondant. I think the finished cake turns out so nice.

Happy Birthday to Me

I was teaching my cake class on my birthday and had to make a cake for that anyway. So, I told everyone NOT to make me a cake since I'd have one from my class. I got to make my own birthday cake. It's a coconut cake with coconut flavored frosting. YUM! Happy birthday to me!

Colette Peters

On March 8, 2007 I had an opportunity to meet my cake decorating idol. I love Colette Peter's cakes. I was so excited to get to meet her. I got to talk with her for 10-15 minutes and get some good tips from her. I even got to show her the cakes that I had made. She seemed impressed. My son, Alex, is also in the picture.
