Mom's birthday cake

my mom loves snowmen so scott and i made this cake for her birthday party which hayden and cheyenne planned while the whole family was here for christmas vacation.

Jalaine's birthday cake

so i'm a little behind on posts...this was a cake i made for jalaine's 29th birthday. Greg let me make what i wanted, so nice of him. i really wanted to make her a princess/barbie cake just for the reaction, which by the way was worth it!

18th birthday cake

i was asked to make a birthday cake for a girl in our ward for her 18th birthday. she told her mom she wanted a "good" cake. all her mom told me was that she wanted a red velvet cake. the rest she left up to me....hard to do when you don't know the person the cake is for. she did tell me her room was green and yellow polka dots so i went with that and with scott's help came up with this...

This is the top view. the bottom cake was a triangle and the top was round. both were red velvet...which by the way is not a very delicious cake in my opinion (but they loved it).

the 18 on top was cut out of fondant and held up by lollipop sticks :)

after about 25 tries i finally got her name cut out in one piece!!! it was a pain but i think it really made the cake cute and unique. they were so excited when scott walked through the door with the cake! the dad said "well that's going on facebook!" they didn't want to cut into it. the son recommended freezing it to save it. but they finally did work up the nerve to cut and eat it and they loved it!!
