Summer is Here



The weather is warm, we've been to the beach, and summer is finally beginning to feel like summer. This cake was a lot of fun to make. Hershey's chocolate cake and buttermilk frosting with Wilton colors. The sand is crushed graham cracker. This was my first time using my new half-ball pans and I think the beach ball came out pretty good. The pans came with a bunch of patterns for soccer balls, volleyballs, etc. but nothing for a beach ball so I freehanded it. Not bad...

Coming Soon...

Some very fun summer cakes coming in the next month or so. I have some new Wilton stuff that I can't wait to use. The first should be posted this weekend. Even more appropriate now that the weather is actually becoming more summer-like!

stars and stripes


This concept was inspired from a Flickr user and I would have liked to get the colors a bit darker but I need to replenish my color stash. In fact, the flash brightened them up a bit in this shot.
