Spooky Halloween Cake

My little brother's Tae Kwon Do school has an annual Halloween Party & dessert contest, this was our 2012 entry.

Yellow Cake with Chocolate icing (tinted green for "spooky lawn" effect). Each pumpkin was hand rolled and 'grooved,' most by my brother, he did a great job! Some I turned into little Jack-o-Lanterns.

All components of the cake were 100% edible, even the tree and haunted house. The windows were painted with a glow-in-the-dark food coloring (couldn't make a picture of that effect turn out correctly though).

See that smiling pumpkin by the house? It's my brother's "Symbol"- I surprised him by adding it to the cake! He loved that.

 What's this?! Eggs hatching from under the tree with larvae running everywhere?! What can this mean?!

BOO!!!

Here is the big creepy spider that has created all this mess! Yikes! Must be her babies hatching from under the tree! This cake was a hit from what I was told about the party, and won first prize at the TkD dessert contest! Yay!! Happy Halloween!

Fall Festival- Cake Walk

Cakes were requested for the Aucilla cake walk fundraiser. This happens at the fall festival, so I was able to make cakes with elements of each. A very fun project.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Halloween cake, with fondant leaves and little jack-o-lanterns.

I loved this one the most, probably because of the pumpkins. Chocolate/Chocolate Chip cake, Cream Cheese icing.

Yellow Cake, Cream Cheese Icing.

I got a few new pans, played with this interesting heart shape, and included Fall colors and leaves.

Cowboy Baby Shower

This is the invitation for the baby shower, adorable

The colors didn't translate quite right on my camera, but here is the cake!

A boot, sheriff badge, rope letters, and a star kinda-barbed wire border.

Baby Rhett is going to have a great baby sister, she had her own mini-cake for the shower!

I hadn't heard of this before, but what a cute idea!

Florida Farm Bureau Cake- Jefferson County

This was a charity cake for a fund-raiser auction for the Florida Farm Bureau.

Cell phone picture, but here are all the decorations almost at completion (hadn't finished the state and cow)

Though the logo has a Florida in orange, I decided to go with gold for the sunshine state.

Corn, Cotton, Livestock, Oranges, Peanuts, & Soybeans

It raised a respectable amount at the auction, and made me feel good to contribute!

Orange/Brown Wedding Shower Cake

A wedding shower cake with an orange color scheme

 

The invitation had some poppy-like flowers that were paint splotched... tried to echo that in some of the cake flowers.

The "orange" roses dried a little more red than I had hoped, but still fit in.

Congratulations to the happy couple!

Barbed Wire Cake

Birthday cake for a cowboy I know. :)

Bet the barbed wire won't keep him out of this cake!

Happy Birthday GA Cowgirl!

The birthday girl for this one is a GA Bulldogs fan, and she loves horses.

A little saddle.

Teeny black and red boots, and horseshoes around the cake, I put them in the black circle to help them stand out from the white icing.
