Springtime cake

Although it is only January, spring is in the air with this two-tier cake. Butterflies just cannot resist the primroses and rose buds!

Buttercream frosting in three shades of aqua is a perfect backdrop for these springtime decorations.

When the top tier was removed and the top of the bottom tier decorated, this beauty appears:

What I've been up to lately

As you know, I've been taking a few classes from Hobby Lobby in cake decorating.  I'm in the middle of a Fondant and Gumpaste course and am having lots of fun!  Here are some photos of recent flowers I've made.

 Calla lilies

 Carnations

 Roses

Video share time

This is a video of my doggy Cinnamon trying to get at a piece of tortilla.  He hates balloons.  We had some leftover from a birthday party from last night and thought we'd see if he'd get over his fear to eat the tortilla.

While he didn't in this video, I do have another where he finally did get his little treat!

Happy Halloween

I hope you have a Spooktakular Halloween!  Be safe and eat lots of cake!

My condolences to Lauren Coyne and family

Please join me in sending your thoughts and prayers to Lauren Coyne (The Making of a Mommy) today, who lost her husband Michael yesterday.  Lauren and Mike tried for many years to have a family, but had to put their quest for children on hold as they battled Mike's leukemia.

I am so sorry for your loss, Lauren.  May God bless and keep you close through your time of grief.

New cakes

It's been a while since I've posted here, but really, what's to post?  I do want to share my latest cake with you.  Once you've taken a look at this, please feel free to look through the other pictures too.
