Cub Scout Court of Honor

My home ward was having their annual Court of Honor for the scouts, so they asked me to do a sheet cake and some cupcakes for the event! It was a FUN cake to do, but my favorite part was watching all the cub scouts scarf down the cupcakes and run around with blue teeth from the frosting. :) 

Isn't he just the cutest little boy scout?! Little Logan in these photos give an authentic touch to this cake and cupcakes!

Alta's Birthday Cake

This is definitely a personal favorite of mine. 

Pucker up for some adorable fish!

I think this was one of my very favorite cakes I've ever done.
It must be because I LOVE animals and I love incorporating cute ones into cakes. The fish are made of cake too, so everything on this cake was edible except for the fins on the fish. (Those were easily made from craft foam).

An adorable cake was needed for an ADORABLE little 1 year old girl named Alta. She was seriously the cutest baby girl I've ever seen.

Abby the Runner Girl

I ran with this amazing athlete in high school, Abby Larson was (and still is) a phenomenal runner. 

She asked me to do her birthday cake one summer! 

And of course she wanted it to be running themed.

Modeling the shoes out of fondant was my favorite part of the cake.

Also just to note, this cake was done back in the Summer of 2009. So it was a while ago and I've come a long way since!

My Sweet 16

This cake was actually for my own Sweet 16 birthday party. Yes, I made my own cake for my own birthday. :) As you can see, I LOVE bright and happy colors. This cake was the first cake I ever tiered! It was a pretty big deal for me.

Note: again, fondant would have much better achieved the look I was going for, but again I used buttercream icing instead, because at the time it was the only frosting I was most comfortable using, and it's more tasty.

Here's a fun photo with all of my wonderful buddies, and of course, the cake.

Easter Bunnies

My favorite part about this cake, was making all the little figurines out of fondant. I did this cake for a very cute little girl whose birthday was close to Easter time.

She wanted raspberry frosting. How do you create/find raspberry frosting?! Well, we simply tried adding some raspberry extract, which actually came out to be pretty tasty.

Though, adding any kind of sweetened preservative, such as raspberry jam, will make any frosting taste fresh, incredibly delicious and sweet! Just sayin. Strawberry jam/jelly added to buttercream frosting is one of my favorites! Also, cherry jelly mixed in with buttercream frosting tastes great with devil's food cake, and any kind of chocolate cake if you appreciate the cherry/chocolate combo.

BYU Football

Yes! That is right, Brigham Young University, represent. This was a cake I was asked to do by the mother of one of the football players currently playing on the BYU football team. What a FUN cake this was!

I even got to hang on to one of the official BYU helmets for a while as a model! This felt like a pretty big deal.

This cake was not only fun to do, but man was it one of the most challenging cakes I've done. It appears to be such a simple cake to do, but when I really got down to the technicalities of it, wow, I definitely learned from trial and error pretty quick.

Note: the cake was made from a ball pan, and I just eyeballed and carved the cake to take the shape of the football helmet.

Trick and Treat

Here's a fun little furry looking Halloween surprise for you! I made this little guy for a cake walk our church was having that year, it was certainly a fun cake to do!

Note: the spider is two cake sphere halves put together. Tricky eh?
