Penguin Cake!

We just got a new addition to Young Women's!! We're excited to have Madi officially with us, she's a sweet girl with a hilarious sense of humor. We're all going to have a lot of fun together :)

Here's her belated birthday cake-- a cute little penguin on an ice floe.

Here's a video showing you the cake all the way around:

...and a work-in-progress picture:

Happy birthday, Madi! :)

Chantelle's Little Mermaid Cake

Chantelle and I decided on an Ariel cake for her birthday, mostly because she has a new Ariel doll that she adores, and partly because I wanted to try a new technique involving homemade candy and ice cubes. 

It turned out to be an incredible cake. Really, you should have seen it in person, because you just can't capture the depth of the coral from pictures. 

But here's the next best thing to an in-person look-- a video of the cake all the way around. 

In case you're wondering, the fondant turtle was by far the favorite cake accessory this time around.

I know there are a lot of pictures of this one, but I just can't help it; this cake turned out so beautifully. I hope I can make this style of cake again sometime!
