Summertime Cake
2 layer 11x15 cake I made for my son's end of school field trip to the town beach. All buttercream. Inspired by a sun cake from the whimsical bakehouse book which was done with choclate transfers but seemed kind of time consuming for kids who will gobble it up before they look at it.

Swan Chocolate Chip Cookie
this is a giant 16" chocolate chip cookie. I baked it in my largest pizza pan, it took 1 1/2 recipes of cookie dough. Buttercream frosting, for my daughters first grade end of school party, they just took their big field trip to the swan boats in Boston. I was originally going to make each child their own small cookie, but due to lack of time I just did the one big one. The inspiration was found on a site called adozeneggs

Graduation Roses Platter
I needed a quick platter of cookies for my daughter's class for their student intern. I had just seen the really cute rosette cookies on iambaker so I figured I give them a try. She gives recipe and complete instructions on her site. I also had saved momgns graduation cookies last year because I really loved her color scheme of the black, hot pink and white. If I had time I would've let the cookies dry another day because they were very fragile and I needed to use a much bigger platter than I would've liked because I was afraid to stack them. So if you do the rosettes do give them 48hrs like iambaker suggests

Teacher Appreciation Bouquets
I made 10 of these double sided bouquets for centerpieces for our teacher appreciation luncheon. We decided to stick with the school colors of blue and yellow and just do springy looking flowers rather than "school" things like apples, books etc. PTO was going to give them away as door prizes at the end of the lunch.

Mother's Day Cameo Cake
The inspiration for this cake was a cookie from Ali Bee's bakeshop.I didnt bake a cookie felling kind of lazy so instead just did a royal icing transfer. For the inside I used the fruit flavored rainbow cake from iambaker , each layer is flavored with pureed fresh fruit, it was tedious to bake all those flavors but my mom and m-i-l loved their cakes.

Engagement Ring Cookies
My s-i-l asked me to make tiffany themed cookies for her bf's shower. I found a platter of cookies from Bee'skneescreative and copied the ring and heart from that. I also attempted a tiffany box cake but that should probably go in cake disasters file. It had so many issues. I am happy with the fondant bow, found a tutorial online.
