Cherry Ann's Bridal Shower

What a weekend! I was on double duty making cakes for my friend's bridal shower. I made one cake from an umbrella cake mold as a gift to the bride and the second was a Jamaican Rum Cake or Black Cake.

I must admit, trying to get this cake right was a little nerve wrecking, but I prevailed. For my first try, I received alot of positive feedback and a few tips on the way. I also tried my hand at using fondant on the rum cake, newly learned by my friend Cara from Cara Linn's Cakes [www.caralinncakes.com]. I hope to be using fondant again, it was alot of fun!

Lauren's Birthday

Today was my co-worker, Lauren's birthday, with her cute self! Her favorite cake is Red Velvet, so, of course, one was ordered for her from Sweet Bella's. She was very surprised and loved it. Thanks to our friend and former co-worker, Linda for placing an order....Thanks Linda!!!

Although the decorating skills are minimal, what we lack in decor, we definitely make up in taste! Hey that should be a new slogan for me! Until the next cake....:-)
