Now I was really into it. My husband Josh was bringing a cake a week into work with him.
Afterall, we weren't going to eat all those cakes (and calories), so I'd snap my picture and off they'd go! I started
getting braver and trying more complicated cakes - thanks to the many options I had in my book. Course the holidays
kept creeping up, so I had to create some of my own ideas as well.

| Fruit Cake |
|
| Yup, the fruit are actually icing... cherries, bananas and grapes. Now THAT was fun! |
Techniques: Figure piping for the fruits (first time I used royal icing) and lattice top.
| Violet Cake |
|
| Went a little crazy with the pink frosting! Had to make 250 violets for this cake - only 1/2 fit! |
Techniques: violets and vertical lines.

| Chocolate Mint Cake |
|
|
| This one had combed sides and a chocolate minty flavor. |
Techniques: Pull-out stars and rosettes.
| Valentine's Day Cake |
|
| Made everything except for the red hearts. Strawberry flavored cake, I believe! |
Techniques: Sotas
