Frozen's Olaf cake

Everyone knows Frozen was a huge hit with the kiddos. Kasiah's birthday came right after the movie so she of course asked for a Frozen cake. I don't know about anyone else, but Olaf was my favorite character of the movie so of course I would pick him to be on a Frozen themed cake. I was very please with how the decorating part of this cake turned out, however the actual cake itself was not my best accomplishment. I made a from scratch Oreo cake with Oreo cream frosting. When I took the cake out of the oven it fell apart so my diligent helper (Noelle) and I pieced it back together. In the end it tasted already but it sure made it hard for me to be completely proud of it.




Red White and Blue Wedding Cake

No this wasn't actually a cake for a wedding, I'm not that brave yet. (Brides can be a little scary.) My sister in-law asked me to make a mini wedding cake for a co-worker's bridal shower that she was throwing. The brides colors were red, white and blue. I was a little thrown by the colors at first (I didn't want it to look like a flag), but then after searching Pinterest for ideas I was inspired. I didn't follow anyone's design that I know of, I kind of just winged it. The cake itself was lemon covered in lemon cream cheese frosting. Then I covered it all with white fondant and made the flowers out of fondant as well. Then added ribbon around the bases. I was seriously in love with the way this turned out. My sister in-law was also thrilled and said everyone loved it.


Also made some cupcakes, not too fancy.
