White Chocolate Boston Creme


This is a variation of a Boston Creme Pie Cake. My husband is not a fan of chocolate so I made this one with white chocolate. I placed chocolate covered strawberries on top for an added touch. It was so hot in my house that the chocolate wouldn't stop running off the cake. Next time I will wait for topping to set before putting on strawberries. May have not been best looking cake but it tasted awesome!

Cupcakes





These were made using my new giant cupcake pan. The colorful one is done is all buttercreme and the blue and brown is covered in fondant.

Valentines


I decided to make a cake for my kids teachers at their schools. Since they go to separate schools that meant make 2 cakes. I thought it would be better than chocolate and really good advertisement! The teachers were very surprised and loved them! I had a hard time delivering two cakes by myself and to top it off I hurt my back the same week.

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
















I made these 2 cakes for my nephews turning 1 and 3. This was one of my favorite yet! It had so much detail. My sister made the names out of foam so that she could use them in scrapbook later.

We celebrated family the following day where I gave them the Mickey Present Cake.
