Introduction: Cathy's Cake Adventure's

So my family has come up with a great idea for me, they tell me I need to start logging my cake designs.  I've started selling them here and there but this is not a business, think of it more as an adventure with the randomness of cash thrown at me.  Which let's face it no one can complain about cash being thrown at them because then that's just silly.  I've been making cakes for a while.  I just like to be creative, don't get me wrong though because I am in no way a professional and just do this for fun when people ask me for cakes.  Here are some very, very old pictures, I went total vintage on this because I went way back searching for pictures of my earlier cakes.  As you can see I definitely think I start to progress the further along I get.





 This is just a strawberry cake with well duh strawberries, and then two large cupcakes, I mean large.


 I couldn't figure out how to make these the right way but it was Cinderalla themed birthday.


 These I'm really proud of, it's a cake a made for two friends, one is a fashionista cake with animal print and the other is a keg with a shot glass.  So much fun.


  These are both Candy themed cakes, the first was a Candyland cake for my daughter's birthday and the other is a Candy cake for a school prom.


This one is super old I think it was my first attempt with fondant and I chose a square cake, what was wrong with me?  But it was supposed to be like a present with a bow on top.  mind you at this time I hadn't taken any Wilton Cake decorating classes yet so this is all me, not bad I guess lol.  

 
 This was a princess cake I did for my oldest daughter when she turned 2 I believe.  It was also a long time ago since she is now about to be 8 this year.

There are many more pictures floating around somewhere.  Maybe I'll post them somewhere but for the time being I will be updating with recent pictures. 

My name is Cathy and these are the cakes that I have created whether from inspiration in my mind or the loveliness of Google search either way I made them myself.  Fondant as an interesting thing to work with and you can come up with so many different variations.
