Cakes!

Wow, I am so not good at keeping my blog up to date! It's been over a year since I've posted anything. I have however been keeping up with everyone else and their lives : ).

So, just a quick recap about the past year for us.
- We moved back to St. George! We love it and are so happy to be home and close to family again! We live in the same condo's that we lived in before we left for Denver just three doors down. Lol! How funny life is sometimes.
- I've been working on cakes and am loving that too! I've made some for family and it's been really great practice for me. I hope to someday soon go to the Wilton School in Chicago to take some classes. So far these are the ones that I have made.

These were my first attempt at decorating cake! I made these mini cakes for a friend at my work who was having a Lia Sophia jewelery party. They are supposed to look like little jewelery boxes.


This one was for Mark's brother Jeff. We made it for his missionary farewell. He is serving in Chile.




Mark's birthday cake and matching birthday card made out of felt!






My sister Shealyn's topsy turvy birthday cake.





My niece, Macey's tinkerbell birthday cake. The flowers hung off the cake as well.




My sister in law, Brittney's birthday cake. The B and polka dots all went on the cake.





Lastly, football cake balls that I made for my family's super bowl party.



My next cake I'm going to make will be for my sister Tiffanie at the beginning of April. Her's will be a challenge though because instead of fondant, this time I'm going to make it completely out of icing. So it will have to be perfectly smooth and I'll get to practice making a bunch of different icing flowers.
