More Yummy Cakes

I will freely admit that I am a cake snob. I never had a flat cake or bakery cake for any birthday. My mother made all my cakes and I don't remember one that was not 3D. My favorite was a Cinderella cake. The main cake was made to look like the pumpkin coach, with 2 small angel food cakes (dolls set in the hole) made to look like Cinderella and the Fairy Godmother.

My oldest son started me on the path to creating 3D cakes, in my mother's footsteps. We moved to Southern California when he was 4. On his 5th birthday he wanted a Sherman tank cake. So on the phone I am asking advice from Mom. Sorry I don't have a photo of this cake. But...

My oldest son was into challenges...that's challenges for me!

My youngest son was into the Land Before Time movies -

This cake was for his 4th birthday -

These are just a couple of the cakes I have done through the years. Recently I was able to play with cake again, realizing that I love to do this.

Can't wait for the grandchildren...
