So a friend of my sister Bethany had the idea of gathering up all the pictures of birthday cakes etc. that you have decorated. Her blog is Life as Mom. So I decided to join in on the fun! Here are the pictures of the cakes I have decorated.

This one was for Emme's 6th birthday- I actually just printed off a picture of Mulan and put it one the cake.
This was a more difficult cake to decorate because of the horns. And then after I had put them on the cake I noticed that I put them in the wrong spot on his head! OOPS!

This was for my friend Katie's baby shower.
I made two cakes because we had a lot of people.
This was Ally's cake- I am sure most of you guessed that with the love of horses she has- funny side note, while looking at pictures of "horse" cakes she says "why are those horses dead?" Because they had made the cakes so it was like half of the horses head - so it did look like they were laying down. So we decided to make a "3d" cake. Didn't want to have a dead horse cake! :)
Emme's favorite- Tinkerbell. Which I did not draw, I actually used a cut out of an extra candy bag. I tried and just could not draw her, oh well, still came out cute!
Kylies castle cake. This one was fun, but trying to find the candies to put on it was a little difficult.
The ladybug cakes for Kylie's first birthday, the tiny one was hers and she was so mad when I was taking off the Jr. Mints- she was like back off my cake. It was so funny!
Suzy Zoo- one of my favorite little characters!
Cinderella- I loved making this one- I remember when I was younger and had a doll cake- I loved it!
Elmo- bothers me that I can see white where there should be red- oh well!
The "outer space" party. Kylie comes up with the funnest themes for her birthdays! This one I used Necco candy for the craters in the moon and because this is a house full of girls we have no Star Wars, Astronaut figures etc. Not saying that girls can't play with those, mine just love princesses!!! So we made figures out of marshmallows!
The princess party! Just basically copied the plate design for this cake!
This one was by far one of the easiest cakes ever and she loved it!
This one was fun to decorate as well- I just had a more difficult time drawing her face etc. It is hard for me to get things proportioned right- I do use the trick my older brother Jeff taught me, to use a toothpick to draw the design then actually bring in the colored icing for the piping. I too would love to take a cake decorating class. Some of those fondant cakes are amazing to me! Right now I am trying to decide what cake to do for Mikayla's first. And I do have one more for Ally's first birthday and can not find pictures for it anywhere? Hmmmm
This was fun Bethany, thanks for the idea! Check her blog out and my other sister Heather did it as well.

Oh these are so good Sarah. I love the little astronaut marshmallow men. How creative. The lady bug is super cute too....they all are. I can't wait to do one of those doll ones. Are they hard? I always wanted one of those.
