Here are my cakes of 2012:
Newt and Houston had a joint Bday this year so they had a joint cake. Houston (4) wanted a dump truck and Newt (8) wanted Legos. What we got was a lego-hauling dump truck. Darth Vader was supposed to be driving, but he was a little late showing up and so he had to ride on the wheel hubs, after this picture was taken, and the door was already iced *er* locked. The dump truck was made out of a cake cut out of a loaf pan. The wheels are chocolate gem donuts. Mawmaw found the candy legos in Jackson.
Jane had a simple sheet cake with a chocolate Minnie Mouse.
This flock of turkeys were treats for Newt & Katie's classes for Thanksgiving.
Houstons's class has a Nativity Cake each year and I was so happy to make it this Christmas! His teacher gave me the hand-carved and painted nativity set to use. The sky backdrop is a big ol' rice crispy treat covered with marshmallow fondant. This was my first foray into marshmallow fondant. It was much quicker easier than I thought it would be. And it tasted better than I thought it was. Not that I sampled while I baked. Who does that?
