Some of my cakes

I thought it would be fun to post some of the cakes I've made through the years so that my kids can see them in this book someday. I've done a wedding cake but can't find the picture. I have a few others as well so I'll add them to this post when I find the pictures of them.


Carrot Cake ~ made from scratch....I'll post the recipe in another post. It's incredibly moist and fabulous! Cream cheese filling and frosting. Decorated Hawaiian style for one of Grandpa's birthdays.

Mocha Cake ~ used to make this all the time. Haven't made it in a long time. Makes me want to have it again. The frosting is a chocolate mocha whipped cream frosting with a chocolate mocha cake. I love square cakes....

Bug Cake ~ Ice cream cake with graham cracker crumbs, rocks, and bugs. The center is filled with oreo cookie crumbs.











Dirt Cake~ A layer of crumbled chocolate cake, topped with a layer of chocolate pudding and then another layer of crumbled chocolate cake. Despite looking like mud and dirt, this is a really yummy cake. It doesn't look as tall in the pictures but it actually was built up quite high.

Brunch Berry Cake~ Vanilla cake layered with fresh whipped cream frosting and lots of sliced berries and sliced kiwi. This is a very moist and refreshing cake! Great for summer time. =0) It has 3 layers of cake and two layers of filling. The filling is a vanilla mousse.

Good old Bob and Larry. Just had to put these on there! =0) I think one was vanilla cake and one was chocolate both frosted with homemade butter frosting.

Scrapbook Cake~ this thing was huge! It's two 9x13 cakes side by side! It's frosted in all whipped cream frosting with a white chocolate mousse filling. The decor was made with stickers that I laminated with clear contact paper. This cake was a huge hit and tasted great too. It was for a baby shower of over 50 people and we still had a little leftover.

Butterfly Cake~ Not really a cake but you get the idea. This was simple and great for a two year old birthday. The 2 candles are the antennae. It worked well for little toddlers to have their own cupcake. My daughter loved this cake.

Bird Nest Cake~ This cake was a hit because it tasted so good! I threw a shower with a baby bird nest theme. This was vanilla cake with a thick custard filling and toasted coconut on top to form the nest. I never knew toasted coconut tasted so good with cake until I made this. Those are 3 hard boiled eggs in the nest. The frosting on the cake is again whipped cream frosting....my favorite and just about all I use anymore. Looking back, I should have died the eggs light blue and then speckled them with brown paint.


Okay, I've also had fun making diaper cakes. No, you don't eat them. They are a stack of diapers made to look like a cake as a gift for a new mom to be. Here are a few pictures of ones that I've made. All you do is start with a round piece of cardboard or an actual cake making board and start rolling diapers around each other until you get the size of the cake you want. Use some sewing pins to help secure them and tie a ribbon around them to hold them. Stack your layers and decorate with little baby gifts like you would frosting. =0) Wrap with cellophane and tie with a bow.

Here is another diaper creation I made for a friend who was having twin boys and her baby shower theme was two peas in a pod. I made the baby pea heads with rolled diapers just like I did for the diaper cakes just smaller, covered them each with a cloth diaper and drew the faces on with a pen. I used two fleece matching blankets stuffed with diapers and overlapped and folded up to make a pod. I tied the ends of the pod with raffia. Then I dressed the little peas with hats, bibs, and stuck a binky where their mouths would be. Tucked a bottle next to each one and I was done.
