Chyanne's Birthday Cupcakes

I asked the kiddos what they wanted for Chyanne's birthday. The overwhelming response was Cupcakes :-) So we made some yummy cupcakes! My helpers did a very good job and they had a blast!

There was enough for everyone to take some home too!

Hill-Finkbeiner Wedding

Here's another Wedding cake.

It ended up being so much taller than I had intended for it to be, but so beautiful!

The Groomsake was an Xbox :-)

Rebekah and I decorated for the wedding also. Here's some of the work we did. The church where the event was held had tablecloths (minus the headtable-that's Rebekahs), the rest was us :-)

Pretty!!

My Stump Cake!

 So for the longest time now, I have wanted to make a stump cake. Well last month I had someone place an order for one for their wedding cake. I think I was more excited than they were about the cake. Here are a few pictures from the cake as I made it:

The cake was Yellow with Raspberry Filing. Yummy!!

This picture shows 5 but I actually made six layers to this cake. It was 10 inches wide.

Then I put a layer of buttercreme icing on it. 

The trunk part was made of rice krispy treats.  Then I iced those over. I wanted a rough type of look so I didn't smooth the frosting.

I covered the cake with fondant that was lightly colored brown (the color of the light rings on top). 

 It might be hard to tell in the picture below, but I took a knife and slashed lines all over the cake for the bark look. Then I used coloring/edible paint and painted on the dark brown color.

 I made some mushrooms, vines, flowers, and some grass to complete the cake. The end result:

Ta-Da!

I loved making this cake. It was so much fun. When I delivered the cake, there was a collective gasp as we walked through the door. Everyone was amazed. Yay!!
