Pirates and Haunted Houses

I haven't posted in a while, so I thought I'd share some of my older creations. First up, we have the truck road race cake I made for James' fourth birthday. He's 11 now, so that was seven years ago. (Wow! That was really long ago)

What do you think? Has my decorating skills improved since then?? ;)

Next up is a haunted house. I think I made this one four or five years ago. I was still learning about piping and coloring icing... so the coloring is a bit off.

But those are some awesome ghosts, right?!

And finally, the pirate cake. Man, oh man, I remember this cake. I definitely made it three or four years ago, and my blood sugar was screwing up, so I wasn't in my best creative mood. And the icing had little chocolate chips in it, which was way too frustrating.


Ta-da! Not too shabby, all things considered.

That's all the cake I've got to show off for right now. :-) I applied for some jobs this week, since I have a car now, so send some good wishes and prayers my way! I definitely want to start decorating cakes on a more regular basis.

Ta-Da! Cupcakes!

I actually made these cupcakes for Halloween.  Our school was hosting a blood drive (get it? Blood? On Halloween?  Anyway...) and we also had a bake sale.  So I made two dozen cupcakes.  I also made a dozen cupcakes for my Spanish class's Dia de los Muertos fiesta.  They were so yummy :-)

Here they are! (And despite- or because of- their simplicity, I do think they look darling.)

 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
 
 And right now I've got some brownies in the oven, and I think I should follow my nose to that deliciously chocolately smell...

coming soon...

I don't know how soon I'll be able to post these, but my grandpa has given me some digital pictures of cakes I've made in the past few years. I'll go ahead and put the pictures up, but I'll add the accompanying words to it later, when I get the chance. Sorry for the delay!





(I apologize for the quality of this las picture;
it was the best one I had!)
