Birthdays Cakes and Desserts (just some of our favorites!)

Most recipes are searchable under cakes and frostings. These are just pictures.

Charlie's chocolate cake!

Dal's Water Tribe waterbender cake (we did each of the elements four years in a row-Air, Water, Earth, and lastly, Fire. It was super fun to do those themes each year.)




Evan's Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake

Pat's White Chocolate Cheesecake with chocolate crust decorated Mardi Gras style, (and his nose ring made from a Halloween spider ring)

Charles' How to Train Your Dragon Cake! (it wasn't supposed to be pink- it's a funny story)




Leia's White Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake

Evan's 12th birthday. Receiving the priesthood and becoming a deacon!



Leia's princess glitter cake. Edible glitter.

Evan's M&M cake with dispenser on top. This M&M dispenser was huge on the cake, but was fun. It looked much smaller online, ha ha.

I like red, orange, pink, yellow, and white together!

My sister and Evan both have birthdays in June and she happened to be visiting so we made them a Dora the Explorer cake. There was a path he had to take to get to the castle, but we only had those Legos for making a castle which didn't quite fit. Oh well.

Castle cake for Sam. Should have got a picture of the front. This was when he was into King Arthur and the knights of the round table. 

This was a cake for when Evan was into Thomas the Train. We bought three new Thomas toys and used them to decorate the top. I like using toys to decorate because then they can keep the toys, and I didn't have to spend hours making things out of frosting.



This was supposed to be a messy pink cake for Sam's Harry Potter birthday (like the one Hagrid makes Harry). I was out of food coloring, so it just ended up being a chocolate cake. But it was a very fun Harry Potter birthday!


Dallas's Lemon Cake


Dallas's Calvin and Hobbes Cake


Mom's chocolate and fruit cake for when my mom came to visit!

Pat's baseball cake with marshmallow frosting. His birthday is always during the end of the season. 

When my kids were into the Captain Underpants books. This was an ice-cream cake like I used to make at Baskin Robbins!

Sam wanted a pink strawberry cake on the inside, but I surprised him with Mario decorations on the outside!



For Pat, cheesecake. What else?



Ice-cream cake, or in this case, pie. Any crust, any ice-cream, any topping- Done! Perfect for summer!

White cake with strawberries between layers and whip cream frosting for my cousin's daughter's birthday when she was a missionary here in Albuquerque.

Neapolitan Cake. It was pretty amazing!

My roll recipe, shaped, fried, and dipped in maple frosting, then drizzled in white chocolate. This is what Charles wanted for his birthday!

An Airbender Birthday for Charles! (fondant)

Chocolate Bundt cake

Cookie Bouquet for Leia's birthday for her 3rd grade class- Mrs Ford


More cookie flowers for Leia's class in 4th grade- Ms. Henson


Cookie Monster cupcakes

4th of July Flag cake

Cake I made for my friend Julie who cannot have any carbs at all.  I should do this for my neighbor Warren!  It had grapes under the strawberries, and a few nuts scattered here and there. I used toothpicks to hook the cheese sticks together in a circle, and it was not easy. By the time I got it filled with fruit and a bow around, I could give a sigh of relief. But once someone takes one, it'll all fall down!


Carrot Cake I made for my friend Andrea.  She and Julie had a birthday party together and we had an awesome girls night with friends!  I was just excited to make the cakes.  No one ever requests my super-duper-excellent carrot cake so I haven't made it in years! Not stellar decorating that night, but oh well.

Harper's Strawberry Cream Cake (Harper and Alaina were our foster daughters for a year)

Leia's pretty white cake! This is the only one I didn't make, but I wanted to remember it in case I do. You need a comb for the sides and to know how to make roses. 

Chocolate cake with stabilized whip cream frosting for Leia's 12th!

Charles loves blueberrries. This was a white cake with cream cheese frosting. So good!
