Victorian Cake
So I had some of the colors left over from Madysen's Lady Bug cake so I decided to make another cake for hubby and my dad and the kids. I did a swag along the sides with rose buds at every point. Then a dot border and a pretty cluster of flowers in the middle. Turned out okay,the cluster of flowers didnt come out how I wanted but theres always next time!

Lady Bug Cake/Cupcakes!
This cake was so much fun also! Madysen's mom Kellie gave me a plate from the birthday theme to replicate onto the cake and cupcakes and at first I didnt like the color that I came up with. But surprisingly the color matched the plastic plates she had and the theme of the table so well. Madysen loved her little cake so much she wouldnt let anyone cut into it!!

Purse Cake!
This cake was so much fun to do! It is a purse *obviously* Next time I try this cake out, I am going to try to find this edible silver paint you can put on the detail to make it look like clasps etc.. to bring out the detail I put into the purse. Also hubby had a good idea and said next time I should make the bottom of the purse fatter to make it look more realistic. *like theres stuff in it*

MIL Birthday
Still working on the handwriting, but I fixed the size of the vines coming from the flowers and believe it looks better this way. MIL loved it, it was exactly what she wanted.. so I was pleased!

Father's Day!
Father's Day Cake I made for my dad. He wanted a chocolate cake with blue because thats his favorite color! My husband pointed out that I made the vines too thick on the cake and I agree, so with the next cake you can see how I adjusted the size of the vines.

Arthurs 3rd Birthday
This was the second cake I made without classes. It was for my sons 3rd birthday, and I tried very hard to make this look as nice as possible and I think it turned out pretty well :o)

Okay, so this was the first cake I have ever done. It made me really feel like with some classes this could be something I can get better at!! I got the idea off betty crocker. Its a half sheet cake with the flip flops on the top, and I used these airhead candy stripes as the thongs on the sandals.
