Halloween Pics...A Little Late!

The kids really enjoyed Halloween. Elizabeth is really into all the Disney princess characters and the most recent one was Snow White. So guess what she wanted to be...Snow White. Josh was a little more difficult. I know if he could, he would probably want to be Dora, but I nixed that and decided to dress him up as the tin man. They both looked adorable!



It's All Sunshine and Ranibows Over Here

This week I've been busy doing a cake for a 1st Birthday...Happy Birthday Avery! I had such a blast making this cake. Like every other cake I do, I learned a lot from this one. I'm very pleased with how it turned out.


Of course...this cake had a secret. A little surprise for everyone!


I love how the colors turned out. Usually, most of the issues are with red. No matter how much you put in, it will turn out a dark pink, but not here. I was actually able to get it to a bright red. Yay! For the other tier and the smash cake I also did something a bit different and decided to swirl the colors. It turned out awesome too!


During this whole process, Elizabeth REALLY wanted to help. So I decided to let her ice some of the left overs of the various cakes I baked. She really liked it. I might have a future ace of cakes!


This is her first masterpiece!
