Icing on the Cake

Our family has had quite a few celebrations lately, and my food contribution for our get-togethers has been my favorite part - dessert - the CAKE!

Now, I am an amateur at cake decorating, but I've had a bit of help recently. On Monday nights for the last 4 weeks, I've been in 'cake class' learning how to make, frost, and decorate cakes. The main purpose was to become proficient at cake decorating so that I could make Emily's first birthday cake....but the added bonus - icing on the cake, if you will - resulted in homemade cakes for each family get-together (which the family doesn't seem to mind!).

So here are a few of my creations...the last one of which I made just today! Mmmmmmm!
