Once again it's been forever since I've made a cake. Trust me I've been busy enough without making cakes and I really didn't need the temptation. I've been trying to lose weight and have been working out like crazy and counting my calories. Losing weight feels like a full time job sometimes. So far I'm down just over 10 lbs, which is great, but I still have some work to do.

I can only avoid cake so much though and since it was my daughter's fifth birthday cake was a necessity.

This was a mini cake for her candles on her birthday. I didn't have a whole lot of time between all our daily activities and didn't really plan, just let her tell me what she wanted.

It's a sleeping frog. I should have taken a pic of how she posed to show me where the frogs legs should go. It was too funny! I also made some simple heart shaped cake on a stick for her to share with her friends at playgroup that morning, but I forgot to take a picture of those.

For her birthday we planed a luau theme pool party.

Strawberry cake with vanilla cream filling. The cupcake were pineapple coconut. Covered with fondant. I used the cricut for the hibiscus cutouts on the cake. The flowers, hula girl and surfboard were made from fondant and gumpaste.

The same day as the birthday party, we also attended a baby shower for a good friend. My oldest was a flower girl in her wedding and the big girl in the picture above was just a few weeks old at the time. Gosh, that's hard to believe. 


Of course I made the cake for the shower as well.

Since the mommy to be doesn't know what she's having and all the decorations were in pink and blue, and all the guests were asked to chose "Team Pink" or "Team Blue", it seemed fitting that the cake should ask the same question.

I'm so excited to find out the answer to this in a few months and welcome this new little person to the world.

For the record I'm Team Blue!

A week later I made another couple of cakes for a cake walk at work.

This one was simple. I had extra strawberry puree and vanilla buttercream from the previous cakes so I made this. I was pretty happy with how smooth my icing turned out!

Since it was for the gym I work at, I made a gym bag cake.

Yellow cake with raspberry cream filling. YUM!!
