Monkey Face


This is just a simple cake I made for a friend's birthday. They wanted a monkey face, so I just made a regular vanilla cake (and two vanilla cupcakes). Then I put it together in the shape of a monkey face and used colored vanilla frosting. Super simple, but cute!

Cake Party #2



Meghan and I made this cake as a practice for our friends' wedding cake that we would be making in December. We wanted to practice 1) using square pans and 2) making fondant ribbon. We also just wanted an excuse to make a cake. The inside was chocolate. We used white fondant to cover the cake, then decorated with red-colored fondant that we cut into strips to make the ribbon. We put the bow on top because we had leftover fondant and it looked weird without anything on top. Then we invited over the entire ward. It was a huge success!

Wedding Dress Cake



This was a cute little cake that Meghan and I made to look like a wedding dress. Just a simple 3-tier round cake with white fondant that we folded in the back to look like a train. Then we rolled up some fondant into little balls to look like buttons. The ribbon is made out of white fondant dusted with edible gold shimmer dust.
