On a Hiatus

It's been a while since I posted (goodness!  A really long time)!  I have done a few cakes (and even forgot to photograph some of them) but mostly I've been taking a break.  There has been some pretty heavy family emergencies that have left me not feeling much like making cakes, and I've been recovering for a few months.  I think I'm finally feeling better and I'm ready to start up doing all this again!

Let's see, the last cake I posted here was WAY back in March!?  I guess that sounds about right.  I ended up taking an emergency trip to Oregon in April and then was blessed to be able to visit again in July for my mother's 60th birthday and bake her a cake.  That was one of the ones I didn't catch a picture of :(.

Well, enough about that, and onto the cakes!

This Mario cake was so fun to make!  It is chocolate on bottom and yellow cake on top, with vanilla buttercream and fondant accents.  I love how the Mario came out!

Another Thomas the Tank Engine cake!  I swear I've made more Thomas cakes than anything else!  They added the train after delivery.

Noah's Ark cupcakes for a baby shower.  I thought it would be crazy to make but it ended up being exhilarating.  I wish I had gotten better pictures.  Everyone raved about the new recipe I'm trying out!

I have a few cakes in the works for this weekend and I'm really happy about it!
