Independence Day 2020 Celebrated during the Pandemic


This is a white cake mix baked in layers of red, white and blue. It's an 11"x7" cake frosted first with buttercream icing. The flag stripes and stars are Rolled fondant. 
I'm going to try my luck at mailing this cake to my daughter and friends in Newark, NJ and see if it arrives looking anything like this!

39th Wedding Anniversary


This is the cake for my husband and my 39th wedding anniversary celebration. We celebrate this year in Quarantine! We are going to order dinner and have it delivered.
This cake is a 3-layer, 9" round Strawberry cake with Strawberry Cream Cheese frosting. Simple and delictious!

Happy Birthday Grandma

We had all the letters made for the Butterfly cake: "Happy Birthday Grandma!" Then I invited my 4-year-old grandson to put them on the cake. And this is how he wanted the letters to be. We had such fun! The letters are Rolled Fondant. We served the Funfetti cake unfrosted, except for these letters, with whipped topping. I used White Grape Peach juice in the cake mix instead of water. It was very tasty!

Epiphany 2020

This is my cake for our Epiphany Open House on Epiphany Sunday, January 5, 2020! It is a 10-inch round 2-layer cake. The bottom layer is Strawberry (with red food color added to make it red) and the top layer is French Vanilla. Strawberry filling is between the layers. The top star is Rolled Fondant and the Silhouettes of the wisemen on the sides are also Rolled Fondant. The little stars are candies.

This cake is the bluest cake I have ever made. I think it represents the night sky well for the travelers. And it will turn your tongue bluegreen!

King's Cake (Gluten Free)

This is a "King's Cake" -- a pastry filled bread for the celebration of Epiphany. The filling is cream cheese and walnut pieces. It is gluten free and served at my January 5, 2020 Epiphany party. A "baby Jesus" is hidden in it.
