Today is my dad's birthday. My dad loves vikings. Loves them. He is very proud of his viking heritage. So of course, he needed a viking cake. This cake was another one that turned out very differently than I'd planned, but he was happy with it. I love making my dad happy. :) So...success!

New Tradition.
What a wonderful, full, beautiful day today has been. The best part about Thanksgiving for me isn't the meal, but getting to spend time with my family. One thing I love about my family is that we are all about our traditions-especially on holidays. This year my mom and I started a new tradition. After the extended family had gone home and things quieted down, we decorated a gingerbread house together. Actually, it was my moms first time EVER decorating a gingerbread house. (Crazy, right???) We had so much fun and we're pretty proud of our little house. Can't wait to do it again next year!
I know it's not a cake, but I just wanted to share because we had so much fun making it. (And because it's cute!!)
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Hope you had a wonderful day with your families, enjoying all of your blessings.

I especially love the little garden in the back yard. :)

To Everything There is a Season...
I was so excited to have the opportunity to decorate a cake for a youth group etiquette dinner this week. I wanted to do something kind of fall themed, so I decided to make fondant leaves. I've never had so much fun! It was like playing with play dough! The process of rolling out the leaves, shaping them, distressing them; it was therapeutic! I was pretty happy with how it turned out.
Happy fall everyone :)

Dark Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes
I have been having fun experimenting with cupcakes lately, so some of my neighbors and family got a yummy surprise. :) These are dark chocolate raspberry cupcakes with raspberry frosting. I topped it with a little ganache drizzle (love that stuff!!) and a fresh raspberry.

Ice Cream Pies
With the holidays coming, I get to decorate a lot of fun, themed treats. These ice cream pies are for my work (The Fix). I love these because I'm not a huge regular pie fan. These are SO much better. They can be custom ordered with any flavor of ice cream and different crust/topping combinations.
Here are some I've done so far. . . .
For traditional pumpkin pie lovers: Pumpkin pie ice cream on a graham cracker crust, topped with cinnamon.
My favorite: Chocolate ice cream on an Oreo crust, topped with crushed Oreos and ganache. mmm...

Birthday cake!
This was just a cute birthday cake I did at work last week. It was actually my first time using the decorative sugar paper.It was requested by the customer so I got to try it out. It was super easy to put on and I think looks really cute! I'm so excited to be getting so many custom cake orders at work!! So much fun.

Halloween cookies
I don't decorate a lot of cookies, but this week I had the opportunity to make some fun Halloween cookies. My sister in law invited me to help out a young women activity in her ward. It was so much fun teaching the girls how to use different tips and watching them get as excited about decorating as I do. They were such cute girls and had some awesome, creative ideas.
