Rachel's Birthday Cake!!!
  <><>
<>
<><>
This cake is soooo cute,I  made this cake for my sister-n-laws 20th Birthday! Everything on this cake is edible vanilla fondant.
The cake is a strawberry pound cake. I used two packages of strawberries in the cake mix.
I also put a full pack of strawberries into a homemade butter cream icing, made 2 12' round cakes and put  butter cream and  cut fresh strawberries in between the 2 layers of cake, all of the flowers were edible including the cute bumble bees, ladybugs, and butterflies, which were made by none other than.... My mom, I have taught her well, she did such a great job! 
A baby shower cake for my cousin Nickolas' first born son Nathaniel Leslie David Laplant!!!
The bottom layer of the cake is a yummy apple cinnamon cake, this was by mistake actually, I was making a apple pie and ha open a can of apple pie filling, not paying attention I had poured the pie filling in my pound cake mix so I thought I would just go with it, I added a second can and about 2 1/2 cups cinnamon.To my amazement it was delicious!!!! Everyone was very pleased, the baby bump was a chocolate pound cake, recipe from "The Bag Lady"
Of course the cake was covered in a lemon flavored butter cream icing and then covered in blue and teal non-flavored fondant
The little blue ducky's are all edible made out of candy melts and chocolate!
And last but not least my sisters birthday was March 26th.
She only wanted cake pops so I made her colored cake pops!!!!!!

St. Patricks Day and New Crazy cupcakes

St.Patricks day has never  been really big in our house but
 sense I have started making cakes I guess anything is game. My kiddos found this cake very fun because they had made leprechaun traps at school and their traps didn't catch him so we decided to make a cake to trap him in that looked like a pot of gold only for him to find out that it was full of fondant and chocolate flakes!!!!!
Obviously our cake caught him so my kiddos
 were very excited!!!!!!

See all the pretty stars that were glittering to catch our leprechauns attention


Cy and Hannah in their 4 leaf clover headbands and St. Patricks Day shirts!!!All the kiddos on the stairs!!!

Westin and Brandon posing in their shirts and clover headbands

Hannah's shirt is so cute it says "Mommy's Lady Luck" Westins says "Mommy's lucky charm" and Cy and Brandon's say "lucky me"





Now on to my cupcakes the first picture is of a home made vanilla bean cupcake with of course green cream cheese icing and edible gold star shaped chocolate flakes!!!!!!!!!! 

The next photo is of a more out there cupcake it is a avocado and cracked black pepper. The cupcake is a vanilla bean but you add cracked pepper in with your dry ingredients and bake it inside the cupcake, amazingly these were pretty good, my mother-n-law approved and that's good enough for me.

 This is another not so normal cupcake,It is a pancake and bacon cupcake. The cupcake is once again a vanilla bean but you add maple syrup to the ingredients you also cut up fully cooked bacon and bake small pieces inside the cupcake its self, The icing is a buttercream and maple syrup mixiture.
I had a lot of positive feedback on these cupcakes even from the kids so I wil be makin them again soon.
Look at how cute they all look in their shirts and 4 leaf clovers!!!!!!!!
