Through Sheri and Susan, I met JoEllyn. She asked me to make her daughter’s wedding cake. They sent me pictures of cakes they liked and let me use my judgement on the cake. I love the way it turned out.

The Bottom tier is Chocolate with Cheesecake Filling. The Middle tier is Lemon Cake with Mixed Berry Filling. The Top tier is Almond Cake with Strawberry Filling. The entire cake is iced in Vanilla Buttercream and then covered in Antique White Fondant.

For the cake, I went with Triple Chocolate Cake with Cream Cheese Filling and Vanilla Buttercream Icing.

Sheri is my next door neighbor and friend. Not only have I become great friends with the Moravits family but also their extended family. Julie is Sheri’s sister and my friend also!

Julie asked me to make a cake for her boss. She wanted a German Chocolate Cake.

The day of my book club meeting, I realized I had no idea what I was going to bring with me. Oops!

I decided to make Triple Chocolate Mini Cupcakes with Candy Cane Kisses in them.

My friend Stephanie asked me to make a cake for her brother (yes, I just did cakes for her parents). Her brother is a big Houston Texans fan and one of his gifts was tickets to the game that Sunday!

December is for Dinosaurs….

Dinosaurs must be popular right now!

My bestie Jennifer asked me to make her a cake for Weston. Normally Jen’s mom (aka my cake hero) makes all the cakes for Jen’s kiddos but Sandi had knee surgery.

Weston’s cake is Vanilla with Vanilla Buttercream. Weston loves dinosaurs!!!

Jessi asked me to make her son’s cake for his 3rd Birthday. Caden’s Birthday Party was at the New Braunfels Children’s Museum.

Bottom tier is Triple Chocolate with Ganache Filling. Top tier is White Cake with Strawberry Buttercream Filling.

Lyla is 4…how did that happen?

I am having a hard time believing that Lyla is 4! For those of you that don’t know, Lyla is Lori and Kyle’s daughter. Kyle is Keith’s 1st cousin. I love Lyla….she is adorable. I believe I have made all of her birthday cakes.

This year, Lyla’s birthday party was at The Jumpy Place. Lyla was a superhero. I made the cake and cookies to match her cape.

Bottom tier is Triple Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Mousse Filling. Top tier is French Vanilla Cake with French Vanilla Buttercream Filling.

Break from Caking to say Thank You!

As some of y’all know (and some don’t), my husband Keith is sick. Keith was diagnosed with Guillain Barre Syndrome. He is paralyzed from the waist down. Thank goodness he is slowly getting better but it is long road to recovery.

The New Braunfels Elks Lodge hosted a Pig Roast, Silent Auction, Live Auction and Dance for us! A lot of money was raised and a great time was had by all. Thank you so much for all of those that donated items, donated time, attended the benefit, and have been there for Keith and I. We are truly blessed!

Thanks to Dream Pixel Photography who donated his time and skills for these photos!

Thank you to our wonderful families and our amazing friends! We are blesssed! Love y’all!
