Think Tink!

This is the latest cake...it was hard! When i asked her what she wanted all i got was "blue and green" Well, after asking her friend what she liked we decided on Tinkerbell, hoping her friend knew her well. We didn't decide on the design of the cake until i was doing it...didn't sleep much because of it. But i think it turned out pretty good, and she loved it so i'm happy. This is my latest purchase, the paisley shape pans, fun! Covered with fondant. the number 15, emilee and the flowers are gumpaste. The green vines are fondant.
For a first try i think Tink came out pretty cute! she is made out of fondant.

So she wanted a white cake for the bottom and carrot cake for the top...so i had some fun with it. it's a white cake flavor, just won't quite look like a white cake :) that's a surprise so i'm excited to hear if she liked it.

Hallie's birthday

Hayden and Cheyenne asked me to make a ballerina themed cake for my niece Hallie. She turned 3!!! We had a birthday party for her and she had her tutu and crown. Everyone got their own crowns to wear. We played pin the tutu on the ballerina, ring around the rosies and a special ballerina princess left a clue for a treasure, so we went on a treasure hunt. It was a lot of fun. hallie was so cute, showing us all of her ballet moves she has learned, she is quite the ballerina. I love how she walks around on her tippie toes!
So my FAVORITE thing of the evening...Hayden was cutting the cake and Hallie says in her sweet voice "Daddy, why are you cutting my tutu?"

For her cake i made a funfetti and strawberry cake covered with fondant. The tutu, bow and "slinky's" (spirals on top) are made of fondant. The ballerina slippers are made of gumpaste. The letters on top are made of royal icing. I had a lot of fun making this since it was PINK!!!

Happy Birthday Hallie!!! We love you and are so happy to have you as our niece!

We did it!

They say the first year is the hardest...we did it! We celebrated our one year anniversary this weekend. We decided to splurge and we got a room at the Anniversary Inn in Logan. We stayed in the Artic Themed room. It has icecicles hanging from the ceiling, peguins, sea otters, polar bears and such. It was a lot of fun. We got a copy of our wedding video before we went up so we got to watch that for the first time, so fun to remember that day!
My mom saved the top tier of our wedding cake...we didn't want to but she did anyway. So we opened it and found a bunch of notes inside and yes we ate a piece...ew. We didn't really think the whole thing through when we made the cake. We weren't planning on keeping it so we didn't really like the flavor we did on top. So we ate some just to tell my mom we did :)

We went out to eat the the Texas Roadhouse. We enjoyed yummy fresh baked rolls, stead and ribs.

This was our breakfast the morning of our anniversary!

we are glad we were married a year ago...the weather today sucked!!! We drove home in snow but we made it!

Happy 1 year Anniversary Scott! I love you more than our wedding day! You always make me smile, laugh, help me with all my crazy projects and cakes, you are the best husband! love ya.

Scott's Birthday

So for Scott's birthday he wanted to go to Tucano's. We went the friday before his birthday. We had a great time! And as a shocker for all who know us...we ate fish! it was their sea food week or something. i don't even know what exactly they were....just know it was fish. 2 out of 3 were ok tasting. but it was fun!

as for his actual birthday, we had a nice night in. I made dinner and he opened his gifts. I got his a power 90 workout deal, a new razor and socks (the exciting gifts), a Real Soccer scarf (cause he's a fan now...and i needed gift ideas so i went along) and my personal favorite a Corn Dog making machine thing. you mix up the batter and put it on the hot dog and cook it. It's not deep fried so it's healthy or something. haven't quite worked up the nerve to try it yet though. someday. Scott loves corn dogs...me, not so much.

Happy Birthday Scotter! Love you

Rubber Duckie!

This is the latest cake. We made this for Jeffrey's nephew who passed away. He loved Rubber Ducks. I was really excited to make this, because it's so cute. And i think it's special they celebrate his birthday. That would be so hard to loose a child, so my heart went into this cake.

The slats for the barrel are cookies, the rubber ducks are made of chocolate, the bubbles and flowers are made of royal icing. the only thing non edible is the ribbon around the barrel.

The sign is made of gum paste. The cake is devil's food decorated with cream cheese frosting.

Where's Waldo

our nephew Tanner had a fun night at our reception....can you figure out why?
in our sign in book under this picture it read "you know we love and support you to have done this (we have no clue who the little boy is in the picture)"

Peace out!

My favorite are the faces he pulls!!!

He just couldn't get enough...these pictures are spread out throughout the whole night. He just kept going back!

We had a pretty good laugh when we were looking through the book...playing where's tanner.

finally!

so i've finally got my blog going of just cakes. So if you are interested in just seeing the cakes, go to the All Tiered Up blog listed to the right. I've had a ton of fun developing skills in cake decorating. i couldn't have done it without the support of my amazing husband, family and friends! thanks everyone!
