Baby Shower Cake

I made this cake for my friend Melanie's baby shower.

This is my favorite cake that I have made thus far. It was a bit time consuming but was well worth the time spent. I used buttercream frosting and I think it was a half chocolate/half white cake.

Bryan's 11th Birthday Cake

For Bryan's 11th birthday he wanted a knight castle cake. I made a chocolate cake and used buttercream frosting. I also made candy clay which I used for the gray molding and rocks on the bottom and middle of the cake. The knights are the only non-edible pieces on the cake. 

(A couple weeks before making this cake I was shopping in Kearney and came across a candy store going out of business. With 1/2 off all the candy, I stocked up on candy rocks, legos and other fun candy that I can use on my cakes.)

Seth and Niki's Wedding Shower Cake

This cake was for Seth and Niki's wedding shower.

I made this cake for some extra special people! (The cake was a double decker half white and half chocolate with buttercream frosting.) I held a wedding shower for Seth and Niki in Dunning on the 4th of July weekend.   Seth was a student manager when Mat was coaching high school wrestling.  We have stayed in touch throughout the years and we couldn't be happier  when he introduced us to his girlfriend a couple years ago. Our kids took an instant liking to  Niki.  Once Seth proposed to Niki, they asked Mattee to be in their wedding.

The wedding was beautiful and I don't know of a more relaxed bride than what Niki was. It was an amazing day. Thanks, Seth and Niki, for letting Mattee be apart of your special day!

Postmaster Retirement Cake

I made this double layer sheet cake using buttercream frosting. (I'm pretty sure it was chocolate and white cake.) I am thinking I should start trying new cake and frosting recipes. However, why change it if it works?
