Callie’s POP Up Gallery Birthday Surprise

Callie is an artist and so am I.  She turned 40 this year and her brother and sister wanted to do a Pop-up Gallery for her to display her art work and invite friends. It turned out really nice. I made this artist cake and painted the miniature paintings to put on it to resemble the gallery. The top is lemon with lemon filling and the bottom tier is chocolate cake and chocolate filling. 

Practicing butter cream flowers

 I am learning how to do butter cream flowers.  I watched You Tube videos to learn which is how I learned to make cakes and decorate in the beginning.  Anyone can learn if they have a desire and you don’t have to pay for school or classes.  However, I would like to go to a class or two eventually.

This cake was made from left over cakes I made for a wedding. I took it to our church potluck and it went fast! It is the white cake with raspberry filling.

Rose, Thin Blue Line Wedding Cake

A delightful bride ordered this small wedding cake.  She just wanted a cake to cut.  She had mini desserts to serve at her reception. Her new husband is a police officer so I put a black ribbon with thin blue ribbon for the border. It is a white cake with raspberry filling. 

White cakes can be dry and not cut well.  I soaked this with some simple syrup to help keep it moist. They loved it.

Lizzy’s Birthday

My granddaughter, Lizzy, turned 5.  She loves Paw Patrol.  So I made her a girly, flowery Paw Patrol  cake.  I was practicing my butter cream flowers.  Butter cream is more desirable now than fondant. It tastes better to me. 

I always like to put a toy on top of the cake so my kids have something to play with. Thus, Sky and her helicopter.

Davy’s Birthday

My Grandson, Davy, likes to fish.  I made this cake from a picture I took when he was at the lake fishing.  He is wearing a coon skin hat.

Secret Agent Cake

My Granddaughters birthdays are close together so they decided to have a Secret Agent party.  It was super fun. This Secret Agent brief case came out really cool.  The handcuffs are real but the res is cake covered in fondant.
