My neighbor asked for a Mickey Mouse cake for her son's 2nd birthday. Here's what I came up with. Mickey is a 6" round with cupcake ears. I had batter & frosting left over so I made some cupcakes to go with it.

A "pretend" wedding cake.
I made this one for a ward young women's activity.
They were having a "wedding reception".
White chocolate cake, white chocolate buttercream, & raspberry filling
Can't forget the homemade marshmallow fondant. Yum!

This was the cake I made for my final Wilton class.
(Fondant & Gum Paste)
Josh & I were so sick of cake we couldn't even think of eating it.
I looked through the ward directory for someone celebrating a
birthday soon after my class ended. I found someone, called her
husband, & got the scoop on some of her favorites.
I was just glad I didn't have to bring it home!

Wilton Course 3 - final tiered cake
This one had Caramel Rice Krispie treats inside.
Yes, we were tired of cake.

Birthday "Watermelon" for my husband's boss.
He's a health nut & always brings fruit for birthday treats.
We decided to turn the tables & bring "fruit" for him too.
White cake colored red with mini chocolate chip "seeds".

Next time might be red velvet cake...

Wilton Course 1 - final
Not bad for my first cake, eh?
