Cake Library

        Some of my Cake Library

Not a pro by any means, just a mom making cakes for her family.

Took some classes one summer about 13 years ago for fun and it has been a great hobby. Plus making cakes myself saves tons of money then buying them from the bakery.  

 

 

 This was for my daughters sweet 16

 

My brothers wedding 

 

 

 These were apart of the cake table for my older daughter's wedding

 

 

 

 

 

                                                 Hot chocolate cupcakes for work

                                         Movie themed birthday for my younger daughter

      Made this paste cake for a baby shower, the dots were pressed down but I didn't get another pic.

                                 Last minute cake for a friend, topper and flowers added later

 Winter cake

 

                                              Yellow dots for a friends wedding

Way to go Badgers!!  With 3-D softball

 

                               Skull cake, painted white chocolate  over cake with a paint brush

 REACH FOR THE SKY!

 

 

Love making cakes for my friend and family only wish I had more time to do it.

~Teen Girl Room Make-Over~

       With Christmas just a few months away, what can a big sister do for her little sister with out spending a ton of money???

 

How about clean and redecorate her room?
YES A SURPRISE ROOM MAKE-OVER

 

 Let's take some before and after pictures.

 

BEFORE:
Before the cleaning, Before repainting, Before trashing some of the junk! (he he)

Definitely need a BEWARE warning

Everyone knows she would kill me if she knew I posted picture of her room.
Things only a mom can get away with.
(Not like my teenage daughter is going to read my blog) 

 

 

 

 Here are a few new things we had just picked up at Hobby Lobby
before deciding to let her sister completely redecorate. Hope she keeps them! 

 

This great picture 24x36

 

A cross in matching colors

                                                                                 

 

A great lamp and clock

 

    I really like the pink, black & green combination.
Just not sure how it will all play out.
