Connie Powell Recital Reception Cake

Christmas Fun

My younger brothers and sisters helped me decorate this "Gingerbread House" Cake for our family's Christmas celebration. I made a sheetcake, cut and stacked it, and then used icing to stick graham crackers, candy, and various peppermint things to it. The Christmas tree is made out of a waffle cone.

Just For Fun

I spent the night at my friend Kendra's house and taught her some cake decorating techniques. She did very well. I can't tell a difference between the flowers I did and the ones she did!

Red Velvet Cake

Red Velvet Cake is my specialty birthday cake. I have made it for several people at school. This particular one was for my amazing piano teacher and Ear Training professor, Dr. Benton.

Christine's Birthday Cake

Hannah and I threw a Surprise party for our friend Christine's 21st Birthday. Her favorite color is green, and she loves little tree frogs, so I made a Green Velvet Cake with green icing shaped like a tree frog and covered with fondant. This is the result.

Harvest Party Dessert Contest

There is a themed dessert contest every year at my church's Harvest Party. The theme last year was apples, so I made my mom's famous Apple Cake. She let me use the recipe because she decided to enter in the chili contest instead- where she won first place! The Apple Cake had Cinnamon Icing and Caramel Sauce. If you look in the bottom right corner you can see the ribbon I won... First Place!

Lisa's Birthday Cake

Lisa was having a movie-themed birthday party, and asked me to make the cake. She didn't care what it looked like. Once I'm given an idea I can go with it, but I have a hard time coming up with awesome ideas. So Hannah, Madeline, and I brainstormed and came up with this popcorn-box cake decorated with theatre candy. The stripes are twizzlers, and there is real popcorn on top.
