Birthday Cake :)

LOVE THIS ONE!  We ordered a new tool for our fondant and it is AMAZING!  No elephant skin...no tearing!  YAY!

Rocket cake for Conner's Birthday

This was probably our most challenging cake yet.  The bottom part of the cake (from about halfway down the name) is the base that Cory made.  The top is about 8 1/2 layers!  It was so much fun!  We were stressed out doing this one.  It got prayed over MANY times!  This cake was a recreation of the rocket found on the 'Hugs and Stitches' invitation for the party.  It fed about 30-40 people. 

Baby shower cake :)

Girl Baby shower cake.  Made with the same fondant that Buddy on Cake Boss uses!!!!  Yummy! 

Boat Birthday Cake

Birthday Cake for my Brother :)   Boat cake with trolling motor, motor, and fishing pole accents :)

AA One Year Token Cake :)

Made this for a friend for her one year 'birthday' in AA.  It is a replica of their one year token.

This is my second ever cake...and it is my first go around with fondant.  There are TONS of mess-ups in this cake...but they will get better as I go along.  Let me know what you think!

Canvas samples :)

Just a few of the different ones I have made.  I will try and get some more pictures on here soon of more.  I can do almost anything you want with them!  They are 10x10 canvases but I can make them larger. :)

My attempt at cakes :)

Okay, so I made my first ever cake a few weeks ago.  I have a LONG way to go but I am going to start doing this part time!  I absolutely loved doing it!  I am going to try and take a few classes and hopefully will start producing eye pleasing, mouth watering, yummy in your tummy cakes!  So here are a few pics of the first cake:   It was a chocolate butter cake with cookies and cream filling and buttercream icing.  All made from scratch!

Sorry for the crappy pictures!  Bad lighting and placement both times! 

The aftermath!

Hope you enjoy what's to come!

Let the fundraising begin!

My friend Tara has officially started her fundraising for adoption!!!!!!!!!!! I am ecstatic! She has orderd some long sleeve shirts and they are adorable. They have a fabric stitched cross and the verse "I will not leave you as orphans, I will come to you." John 14:18 on the back. They are adorable and a great way to raise awareness about adoption! You should go to her blog, http://www.mufandcup.blogspot.com/ and order one! If you are local I am sure you can email her and tell her the size you need and she will have it for you to pick up. If you have any questions you can email me at inspiredbygrace@yahoo.com.

Here is a picture of my friend Tara and her sister Tiffany...Please don't hold it against them that they have on Steelers shirts! lol. Tara is on the right and Tiffany is on the left.

(Oh yeah, and I just want you to know that Cory and I may be starting an adoption fund some time in the next year or two...so adoption is SUPER close to my heart! Please help my friend Tara with hers by purchasing one of these awesome shirts!)

Lots of Love!
