Pooh Bear Cake

I made this Pooh Bear Cake for C's first birthday.
(The little boy I take care of!) 

This was the first character cake I had ever made 
and I'm so happy with how it came out.


After baking a basic yellow cake in the Pooh Bear cake pan, I used chocolate frosting to outline the character and details.

Next, I added "Golden Yellow" icing color to half of my white icing and filled in Pooh.

 I split the rest of the white icing and added "No-Taste Red" to one half and "Royal Blue" to the other. I covered the shirt and #1 before deciding that the sides should be covered with the matching colors, instead of white as the directions had suggested.

This is the finished cake ready to have it's candle blown out!

Everyone at the party loved it!

Nurse Graduation

Here's the Nurse Graduation cake I made 

for my mom's friend's daughter!

I started with chocolate melt replicas of 

letters and different medical tools...

bandaids, thermometer,

pill bottle, etc.

 This was my second tiered cake. 

The family loved it and everyone said

it tasted great!

Animal

Our friend is a huge fan of Animal

from The Muppets!

I made these for him for his 30th birthday!

His mom made his cake!

Thanksgiving 2011

These are Gluten-Free cupcakes I made right before Thanksgiving.

 For Thanksgiving, I took on my FIRST tiered cake!

I used chocolate melts for the leaves.

 This is the cake I'm most proud of!

Camera Cupcakes

My friend is going to school for photography.

These are the cupcakes I made for her 22nd birthday!

This cupcake was made specially for her

because it had a bigger and more detailed camera!

Lobstah Fest 2011

McCormick Annual Lobstah Fest!

It's a tradition in my family that we get together

every summer for family and lobster!

It's the only time in the year that we're able

to get everyone together from in and out of state.

I found this design in the "What's Up, Cupcake" book

and thought it was a PERFECT idea for the family.

It came out very cool and 

everyone loved it!

July Fourth

These were my FIRST attempt at cupcake decorating!

They weren't the best, 

but they were pretty cool 

and tasted really good!
