VW Bug Cake

This cake was done for a wedding today, based off of pictures of their actual car.  It was my fist car, and I learned a few things.  All in all it came it out pretty cool. 

The cake was a white cake, covered in fondant that I actually painted silver.  My photography needs some work - it looked better in person :)

First cakes out of retirement

These were my first two cake orders coming out of retirement :)  Boy you guys didn't waste any time making orders!  Thank you!!!  I had fun doing these and look forward to many more cakerations.

The owl cake is based off the design on my coffee cup that both my sister and I share.  I love these little guys.  It is a vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream and topped with fondant.  The design is hand painted on.

The dinosaur cake is also vanilla cake with vanilla frosting.  The dinosaur is made out of cake as well, with a rice krispie treat neck :) 

I'm Baaaack....

Hi Everyone who may visit this page! Since I haven't posted in two years, I figured I'd update with a little post and notification that I have come out of retirement!  Kids are two years older, we are in a different house, and I just got a new convection oven!!!  Bring on the orders!  Of course I have kept up my baking and random family cakes through the past two years, but it is good to be back and I'm ready to jump in and get my creative juices flowing!  Thank you to all of you who keep asking me for cakes!  Your loyalty makes coming back to cakerating a whole lot easier :)  I'll be posting pics soon!!!
Best,
Danielle
