CTR cake

My son, Daniel, was baptized a member of our church yesterday. We had a luncheon after the baptism, so I made him a cake. It was a marble cake with buttercream finish and fondant decoration.

Congratulations buddy, so proud of you!

Gold Plates Baptism cake

In my church, children are baptized when they are eight years old. This week I made a cake for a little boy who is getting baptized today. It has the gold plates on it, the plate that we believe the Book of Mormon was translated from. I hope he loves his cake!

The base cake was a chocolate/white marble cake. The plates part was chocolate/white marble cake with Bavarian cream filling.

Congratulations Andrew!

Relief Society cake, takes 2 &3

This year is the 170th anniversary (or birthday) of the Relief Society. My cake was such a hit last year that I was asked to make two this year. And, because I can't say no (and I thought that they would be due on different days, not both today) I agreed. 

The first was basically the same as last years' cake, except it was a carrot cake with cream cheese icing.

The second is a chocolate cake with a simplified RS logo.

Happy Birthday Relief Society!

Relief Society Cake

The Relief Society is the women's organization of the church that I belong to. This year they are celebrating their  169th anniversary. Our ward is holding a birthday party in honor of it, and I get to make the cake! They requested a chocolate cake with chocolate icing (which I have no problem with!), decorated with the Relief Society seal. The seal is a chocolate transfer. The cake is a 14" square.

CTR Cake

This cake was made for the son of a friend who is being baptized tomorrow. His mom didn't really know what she wanted, so we went with a CTR shield (made out of fondant) with a blue background, because that is his favorite color.  Congratulations Joey!

The cake was devil's food cake with buttercream icing.
