Cakes



Well, last year I requested cake decorating items for my Christmas gift. Uncle Bill and Aunt Brenda bought me an awesome Wilton cake decorating caddy that was filled to the brim with all the tools you need to decorate awesome cakes.


Below are pictures of two cakes that I've decorated just this week. The first is of a carrot cake. I made this carrot cake for a non-for-profit dinner party we had Friday night. The cake is from scratch and so was the cream cheese icing. I should have taken a picture of the side of the cake because it had finely chopped walnuts all along the side.




The 2nd cake was for CeKariya's 2 year birthday. Her birthday was actually yesterday, but we celebrated it today with her. She loves Elmo and the Wal*Mart near us didn't have an Elmo pan so I had to do my own. I think it came out great! The cake was a box cake (German Chocolate), but the buttercream icing was homemade. Enjoy!

The big view of the cake...it' states: "Elmo says Happy Birthday!"
