FOR THE LOVE OF HOME-MADE CAKES


I love baking and decorating cakes. Each one of my creations is homemade with love! I can't bring you the taste here or the smell, but I can share with you the visual beauty of a cake and the story behind its creation. I invite you to comment and to possibly contribute some of your own pictures. Enjoy!

Blowing out the candles!

My "Sweeter-than-Sweet" 16 year old daughter blows out the candles on her cake with friends and family looking on.

I cherish the look on her face.

Sweet Sixteen Fit for a Princess!

Maggie Chose her colors: Pink, Black & White. Her sister Rachel
hand crafted the tiaras for all of the 14 attendants in her court!
My daughter Margaret celebrated her 16th birthday in style this past weekend. A doll cake was the centerpiece set on a 1/2 sheet cake. The flavor was funfetti... her favorite. 14 additional doll cakes were made as the "court" and Maggie coordinated each to  the haircolor of the friends she had invited to the party.

Happy Birthday Michelle!



Patton Media Technology Coordinator and Blogger extraordinaire Shel Hansen celebrated her birthday at the office in style... cake and coffee!




The birthday cake was chocolate fudge with mocha chocolate icing!

YUM!
