~Happy 84th Birthday Grandma Toman~

                                      
 Here are the little individual quickie last minute cakes that I made for my Grandma Toman. I felt bad that I didn't have more time to do a more elaborate cake - also I was told to do something simple. I don't like the way the fondant turned out. I didn't put enough icing below the fondant to get that "smooth" look! Live & Learn, right?

Lord bless Grandma Toman with another year of drawing ever closer to you - Her Heavenly Father, her everything!

Winter Wonderland

Happy Birthday to the most amazing man ever born on earth. He came so that we might know His love! He died so that we might live!

Haven`t made a cake for awhile, so I thought this was a perfect excuse! Though there wasn`t a lot of time, I was happy with the results! I was going to do a two layer cake, but when I put the second layer on top... it didn`t look right, so I went back to the drawing board, this is what came forth! It was such a beautiful morning: In the bright, snow dusted, crisp outdoors!

Merry Christmas to all!

Brogan Baby Shower

Hannah Dotzert organized a youth baby "party" for Stephen and Sarah (Youth Leaders). I was asked to do the cake, to which I willingly obliged! 

Tip: I used coffee in the icing instead of milk! Made it a lot easier to get the "smooth" look! Next time I'll use a stronger coffee to add the mocha flavor!

Farewell Cake

 The Simple version :)

Sunday, October 30th, 2011 we as a church are sending Andrew Hamilton off to Lesotho for 2+ years. Mrs. Hamilton (his mom) makes the cakes for our church, but she is really busy this weekend, so I was asked to do it! I couldn't pass up on making a cake. This is nothing fancy or hard, but was a ton of fun making it! No color stains on the hands this time and no gloves either, you just learn as you go!!!

P.S. all the different countries represented on the cake are places that Andrew's been to or will be visiting.

Jenelle's 25th Birthday "Make a joyful noise unto the Lord"

 After I saw this, I wasn't sure whether or not I wanted to add the next layer... ending up doing it, but I liked the simplicity look of this!

 I'm not the most creative when it comes to photography, but I thought this would might be a major key to...

 Making sure I have the copyright in there!

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing! Twas a fun cake to make, decorate, and with the combined efforts of friends and family this cake was made very unique! Thanks to all who put a word in edge wise;)

#1 Tip - DON'T use deli gloves when kneading color into fondant! They rip REAL easy and you WON'T notice it till it's too late!

Smellin' Fishy
