More Baking

I've been making lots of cakes lately.  My neighbor came to me with a picture of a cake she had in mind, and asked me to make a cake for her daughter who was graduating high school as the Valedictorian.  This cake was my Everest.  I was so nervous, because I have never been paid to make a cake before, I've just always done it for fun.  However, I was thrilled with the finished product.  I guess I am more capable than I thought!  What a fun cake.  I'm glad I made it.  It helped me realize that I can try some harder cakes and be successful.

These cakes were just for a ward luau.  It was a fundraiser for the Young Women and Young Men.  Devin signed me up to make some cakes for the bake sale, so this is what I came up with.  I found the idea for the beach scene cupcakes on Pinterest, and the Pineapple just kinda happened.  If you had asked me five years ago if I would end up decorating cakes as a hobby I would have laughed at you.  Strange how I've changed so much in just a few short years.
