More Cakes

I've always had a love for all things desert...pies, tarts, cupcakes, cakes, cookies....brownies, ice cream!  Oh my sweet tooth!  As a kid, I loved helping my mom bake sweet treats, as a teenager I made a lot of cakes, cookies and even more brownies than someone should ever eat in their lifetime!  hehehe

While making the camera cake for Ilikea my love for baking flooded my being!  It was all I could think about, I wanted an excuse to make another cake.  That opportunity came with Tiffany's baby shower.  I not only made her a belly cake but I also made her a tricycle diaper cake.

some kid poked the boob!

After Tiffany came Susan!  She was having a girl so a pink cake was is order.  I tried making my own fondant...bad idea!  It was hard to work with and it didn't taste any better than the Wilton's fondant in a box. 



Then Kawika's Halloween themed birthday party!!  Most of the kids dressed up.  My favorite was the Papa Smurf kid!  (wish i got a picture with him)
Kawika was really happy with his cake even if he doesn't look like it in the picture!!!  I should have taken an after photo of the cake....the kids tore it up!  happily!!


I had so much fun making all of the cakes and they were really yummy!  I found a banana bread receipe online from cooks.com and I made cream cheese frosting and after my experience with homemade fondant, I used the Wilton's fondant for the mummy and frank!  I decided to go with a bread receipe because I thought it would hold up better,  I was right!  I love it when going with my intuition pays off.  

Happy Baking!
