The week before Halloween was a busy baking week. I made a cake for my S-I-L Mandie. It was her birthday and she asked for a cake that I had already made before...a repeat cake I guess. I totally forgot to take pictures, but here's the one I made for Dan's b-day...and I made the same one for Mandie.
A PB&J cake...and that's exactly what it tasted like...only sweeter. White cake as bread, PB buttercream and then I did Strawberry preserves for Mandie.
My mom is the Stake Primary president. They were having a leadership meeting and needed some sweets, so I made some cupcakes. I made chocolate cupcakes w/ PB buttercream, and also carrot cake cupcakes w/ a cream cheese buttercream. I uses some brown fondant to cut out leaves for the topper. I wanted the leaves to look more "fall" like, so I painted them with some bronze luster dust-they turned out really cute. I guess they were a hit. Thank goodness. It's always nice to hear that someone likes your work. Dan wanted some for his hometeaching families and also for his team at work. I made 74 cupcakes!!. Busy...busy...busy. I loved making and creating all of these things. My next project is mini cupcakes for Lizzie's (my sister-in-law) bridal shower. Nothing fancy, they're too little to decorate all fancy-it would overdue it. Some sprinkles, or colored sugar and a nice swirl of frosting will look just great! Can't wait!

I'm friends with his mom and I offered to make him his B-day cake. Any chance I get to try something new is a good opportunity for practice. It was chocolate cake with caramel buttercream. Covered in fondant and decorated with little footballs made of fondant.

You are amazing. Seriously you should start a bakery... I love to bake COOKIES, but my cakes always seem to be a disaster. (Non layer cakes turn out okay but how boring!! :)) Do you make your fondant from scratch?
Looks like you have been busy! Wish I was closer to taste some of your yummy creations :)
