I have many close ties to service individuals – my dad was Air Force for 20 years, both sets of grandparents were military, my uncle use to be Fire/Rescue and now does Arson investigations, my brother was Army, and of course my hubby was Army. I know how hard they work & how often their [...]
I made this pumpkin shaped cake for a customer who needed a cake for her child’s school Halloween party. It was chocolate chip cake with vanilla buttercream frosting. I was trying to decide how I wanted to do the face and I had about ten ideas!!! And I couldn’t decide and googled pumpkin images to [...]
This cake was donated to the Spicewood Community Center for their annual Halloween Festival. They have a cake walk every year and asked if we would be willing to provide a cake for it and of course I said yes! It was Red Velvet with cream cheese frosting – which I thought was appropriate for [...]
I was testing an adjusted yellow cake recipe (which I loved!!) and decided to make it into a dart board. I was out in the shed the other day and saw our dart board sitting very lonely on the ground. I want to put it in the house so we can play, since it is [...]

I made this cake for my boyfriend. He used to be a scout in the Army, and his cavalry hat is sitting on a bookcase at our house. I passed by it one day and thought – “Now, that would be a fun cake!”. So I surprised him with it later that day. The hat wasn’t to [...]
This was another cake I made for the fire station down the street. There are several shifts there, so I figured I would take another cake to them during a different shift for some of the other guys. A few of the guys were there from when I made the fire truck cake, and they [...]
I needed some practice with making decorative items out of fondant, so I decided to try to make a bow. After the bow was finished I just made a square cake, covered it in fondant and plopped the bow on top. I didn’t even think about the colors when I made them. And this was [...]
