strawberry poke cake

another cake decorated by my 5-year-old daughter. :) the interesting part was the inside- it was a strawberry poke cake. once you dig into it, it looks- and tastes- pretty good...

Peach preserves

I know, this is not strictly speaking baking, but actually I like to use my home-made preserves as fillings for my cakes. So here you have it: homemade peach preserve. 

Ladybug Cake

Ladybug cake using minimal decorating skills. Actually, my 5-year-old daughter helped decorate that. :)

Birthday Cake

This was a tiramisu cake decorated with buttercream frosting

Patriotic Berry Cake

Underneath the whipped cream, this was the lemon-raspberry mousse dessert which I posted on May 3rd, 2010: raspberry mousse squares. I just decided to decorate it as the flag for July 4th. It would have been better if I had used a rectangular versus a square baking dish but nobody complained... :)

Birthday Cake

I made this for a friend of mine at work. I used fluffy chocolate pudding frosting which is very light. The consistency is not stiff enough to decorate with, but it worked well for frosting. The cake was chocolate on the inside. Everybody at work liked it. :)

Anniversary Cake

I made this cake for a friend of mine and, as it turned out, that hooked her to cake decorating too! :)
This was classic yellow cake iced and decorated with buttercream frosting.

Cake with Flowers and Shells

This is the same cake, the main difference being that the one on the second one has a few extra flowers in the center :) Just practicing decorating- so much fun!
