Although not a cake, here's an "edible arrangement" I made my mom for her birthday!

Summer 2010 Cakes

Summer 2010 Cakes/Cupcakes












First cake of this summer.














Butterfly cupcakes!!

Royal Icing Flower Cake

To me, this cake deserves its own post. This is by far the best cake I've made and my absolute favorite!! I made all of the flowers on the cake!












































First Cakes
















This is the first cake I ever made last summer! Just really simple borders and outlines!




































This was a pattern transfer cake I made last summer. Nice and bright for summer! (Second cake!)





































The top cake I made for a friend's birthday, as you can tell he is a firefighter. The blue volleyball cake I made was for another friend who played on the high school volleyball team. I made both of these a about a month into learning to make cakes, so I was pretty stuck on pattern transfers! (Actually, almost all of the cakes I post pics of from the past year are pattern transfers. This year I'll learn new techniques to get past this stage!!)

















Learning to make roses...umm..still learning!!


















More rose practice...man these things are HARD!

















BEFORE

I made this cake for a party when I had family visiting...my little cousins enjoyed the cake the most..can you tell???


AFTER
























































Two birthday cakes I made! The Thomas cake was for my little cousin...(the one in the blue shirt enjoying the icing on the rose cake..lol)







Made this cake for a good friend at church. Writing on cakes is my biggest challenge!

















This was for my mom's work.













Cake into

Hey! My name is Liz, and I'm a college student! I became obsessed with Cake Boss about a year and a half ago which inspired me to take some cake decorating classes. I took two classes last summer and am taking classes all of this summer! I'm TOTALLY a beginner, but I'm loving every minute of learning how to decorate cakes. I love the instructor of the classes I'm taking-she's such an inspiration!! It's obvious that most of my cakes are beginner cakes, but I'm working at it, and I hope to be able to post a few good cake pics up here this coming summer!! Thanks for looking at my pictures!!
