Carrot Cake


My family always bought birthday cakes from a little German bakery in Conyers when I was little. The cakes were delicious, but I especially remember their carrot cake. Whenever my mom would take me with her to pick up a birthday cake, she would buy a slice of carrot cake for me and I would always look forward to it. Carrot cake is still one of my very favorites, and it was time I learned how to make it myself!

Honey Vanilla Pound cake

Joe's Birthday Cake

Joe's a big Recee's Pieces fan, so I had to include them in his birthday cake. Red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting, garnished with peanut butter candies. :)

Compliment Cupcakes :)

Happy Birthday, Grandmama!

My grandmother's favorite flower is the daffodil, so I wanted to put some on her cake to make it extra special. The cake didn't turn out perfectly, but at least it's better than the "China Star Garden" disaster from last year! ;)
