baby boy shower cake

I am adding more pictures of cakes I have done in the past.

Valentines Day Cupcakes!

I made Valentines Day Cupcakes for my co-workers. (Big surprise!!)

The surprise wasn't the cupcakes, it was the recipe I used for the cupcakes! I made Apple Spice Cupcakes, since I had left over apples, and I topped them off with a vanilla cinnamon frosting. They turned out great!

Other Past Cakes

Here are a few pictures of a few of my past cakes. All great cakes= All Happy Customers!

Sister's Birthday Cake

I made this cake back in January, the whole style of the cake was new to me, and quite risky. I wanted to make a cake for my sister's 30th birthday, and since she never had a dream birthday cake as a child, I wanted to make this one super special. So I knew it had to be Cinderella themed as it is her all time favorite Disney movie, and it had to be baby blue her favorite color.

This cake was a venture into the unknown for me, and it took several weeks of online researching, chatboards, and you-tube videos to come up with the master plan. I have never worked with a ball cake pan, or attempted to make a pillow cake and have never carved a cake for that matter, and it was my first time making a champagne cake with champagne filling and my first time making fondant sculpted characters (the mouse). This cake was a complete learning experience, and I plan to build upon it. The cake turned out great, and my sister's reaction to the cake, made the stress and weeks of preparation totally worth it.

Weekend of February 6-7, 2010

These were my cakes from this past weekend. I was very impressed with myself, new techniques, new fillings, and so much fun. Loved the final product, and loved the expressions on people's faces when I delivered the cakes. Happy Customers= Priceless!

Linares Cakes

In July of 2009, I embarked on a new journey of meshing my two passions; my love for baking & my love for artistic crafty creations. With my sister's strong encouragement I began taking a few cake decorating classes, and have fallen in love with this art form. I am quite the new-be to the cake artistry world, but practice makes perfect, and with every cake I get better. Cake decorating is definetly a form of art and has become a passion of mine. Join me on my journey as I continue to expand my skills in cake artistry. Feel free to post comments & tips to improve my skills.
