Ordination Cake

This was quite a fun cake to be a part of, though it's the most random cake I think I've ever done! Caleb was ordained into the ministry, and we had to make a cake that wasn't too formal, like a wedding cake. We threw in some randomly themed tiers to keep it interesting. The cross was made from chocolate fondant, and dusted in gold pearl dust, making the top of the cake BEAUTIFUL with brown icing and the gold on top.
Though it's hard to see, there are fleur de lis in chocolate buttercream on the top tier. Both chocolate tiers are chocolate cake with chocolate icing! Yum! The white tiers are strawberry cake underneath, and traditional buttercream icing. You'll note in the above picture, an edible image! Caleb and Amie got to be on a cookie! How special!
These are the fondant creations for the "random" tiers: the sports tier (hockey sticks) and the BBQ tier. Can you pick out the hamburger with lettuce, the hamburger with American cheese, the two tiny ears of corn, and the t-bone steak? Fun!!!

Some New Tasty Treats!

This was a launch of the baby shower ministry at church.....and my first boy shower cake!
After a cake crisis, I took the strawberry scraps and made a trifle! It was scrumptious!
