Baked with Love Gallery

My efforts have cakes have come so far. I used to keep the boxed cake I made in a glass pan, frost it, put some toy or other decorative element on it and called it good.
Progression in cakes, it is now OUT of the pan!

Tiffany and I took a Michaels' Wilton Cake Decorating Course. It was a lot of fun, and the start to our really becoming creative.

It has become a family affair, all the kids getting in on it. Jordan even has helped with sculpting elements on a cake project.
This one we made for Thanksgiving when we were living in Boise, a lot of my family were coming over, so we wanted to have something celebrating all the birthdays in our families. White chocolate stars and candles.
 

This cake was a white version as well as a chocolate one.

Jessica made this groom's cake for her new brother in law, Josh. 9/10 

Rebecca & Max's wedding cake 5/10. It took Jessica and I all night. We bought the fondant, supposed to be recommended by "Duff" and Ron Ben Israel. I bought the flower topper. It tasted great, but we had TONS of cake left. I learned an important lesson though to not spend so much time if it means I will miss out on the importance of the event.

 Michelle & Jordan's wedding Cake 4/12. I learned the hard way after doing Becca's cake about the wisdom of using "dummy layers". So much wedding cake goes to waste, mainly used for the looks and one slice out during the cutting ceremony. Jon's wife, Sara, helped save the day with all the piping on it.
