I made a small cake for my cousin's wedding. This is what it looked like when it left my house. 
I love how it turned out and love the pleating effect on the bottom layer.
This is the tiny cake I made for my daughter to dig into on her first birthday. She love's the green clock in her bedroom, hence the theme. I set the hands to the time she was born, 7:18pm. Super simple, no fuss.
This cake could be number 35, 36, 37 and probably 38 too. This is the biggest cake I've done so far. It was my brother and his bride's wedding cake. It was a huge undertaking. I'm super happy with how it turned out and I'm super happy it's over with. Delivering any cake is stressful, but praying that a wedding cake makes it to it's destination in one piece, fully intact is majorly stressful. I'm thankful to my husband who not only helped me carry this behemoth, but ran to a couple different stores a couple different times to pick up things I'd run out of. I'm also thankful to my baby girl for being patient with mama and finding things to occupy her time (like pulling all the DVDs off the shelf) while mama worked on cake. I don't see many wedding cakes in my future.
I made this cake for my sister Michelle's birthday and as a taste test for Sean and Tiffany's wedding. It was pina colada cake with strawberry filling. I also flavored the buttercream with a little bit of coconut. It was super yummy!
It was the day before Valentine's Day hence the red and the [I love you] a bushel and a peck theme. All the rest of it is a technique called cornelli lace. I'd only ever done it in my classes and wanted to try it. Man was my hand tired by the time I was done. I definitely need to practice this some more.
I wanted to try a new filling, so I made this for Sunday dessert. 
Our neighbor Brock earned his Eagle Scout. His mom asked me to make a cake for their celebration. Brock loves the Pittsburgh Steelers so he asked me to put a small Steelers logo on the back of the cake. What's funny is I was planning to do that before he asked. I love how this cake turned out. I hope he loves it!
Kara's dad is retiring and he evidently thinks he's gonna be golfing all the time now. So, she wanted a golf cake for his retirement party.
Beckee's sister, the Pez collector, turned the big 4-0. Beckee surprised her with this cake. I hope she loves it!
Taryn was turning 5 and wanted a purple and pink princess cake with a castle on top. I think I hit the nail on the head.
This was my first attempt at a topsy turvy cake. I learned a lot of good lessons that I will use next time I make a cake like this. I really like the ribbon roses. I'm excited to try another one.
Melinda's mom is turning 50 and is apparently obsessed with Facebook's Farm Town application. In case you don't know what that is, it's basically a virtual farm where you have to tend your crops. I squished as many things from her farm on here as I could. I LOVE the way it turned out. It's so cute! The house and the animals are my favorites. Can you just see the personality on the faces of those cute little farm animals? This cake was a lot of fun to make and I'm really proud of it. I'm sure Robyn will love it!
Kara wanted a patriotic cake for her Pioneer Day celebration. 
I'm pretty sure the birthday boy doesn't look at my blog, so I don't think I'm spoiling the surprise. Beckee's hubby had a birthday and she wanted a golf themed cake for him. I think it's super cute. I especially love the trees. They were fun to make.
One of Patrick's co-workers wanted a Detroit Redwings hockey puck cake for her fiance for Father's Day. The logo is all fondant and took me forever! Each of those little pieces was cut by hand.
Chase just returned home from an LDS mission in Russia. His mom Clarene (who I work with) asked me to make a cake for his homecoming celebration. "From Russia, With Love" and the colors of the Russian flag were her only requests. The rest was left up to me. I used my sister Alison's art skills and put her to work painting (with food coloring of course) the postcard on top. Getting vanilla buttercream that dark is no easy task, let me tell you. I had to scrap the first batch and start over. I have to say, this cake gave me more problems than any other cake I've made so far. They all seemed very pleased when they saw it. Welcome home Elder Hansen.
Beckee's parents are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary.
Little Mr. Preston turned 1. His momma Beckee provided the cars.
My friend Kara asked me to make this for woman she works for who was having a birthday. It's a twist on the one I made for my sister's birthday.
I made this for my mother-in-law's birthday.
