Past Project Photos

 As I embark on a new journey of blogging my baking creations, I thought it would be fun to have a gallery of some of my past projects.  Some are WAY better than others, but hopefully you can see some progression through time.  You will see this in our own projects as well!  Remember, my first cake was a complete disaster, but with a lot of research and practice, I continue to improve over time.  

Please forgive the lighting and background in a lot of these pictures as I did not have a light box or great setting for many of these pictures.  Either way, they were all fun to make over the first 10 years of my baking journey.  Some were cakes for my kids, some were cupcakes sent to school, some were my yearly gifts to my staff on their birthdays, and some were commissioned cakes.  Once you find that perfect cake recipe for your project, next comes the decorating!  

My most recent adventure has been finding the perfect sugar cookie and royal icing recipes.  Scroll all the way to the bottom for a picture!  They are as delicious as all of these cakes and cupcakes...YUM!  Stay tuned to my blog for all of my favorite recipes, the supplies I use, and a lot of helpful tips. 

Enjoy!

Mountain Cake Design

It’s time for a full post on a project I recently completed! My son just turned 11, and for his birthday he requested a Red Velvet Mountain Cake. We moved West to the mountains last year, and he had just finished his first season on the ski team in our new town. I thought it was a great idea for a cake, but really needed some time to figure out the logistics. Mountains are big, so this cake needed to be big! I knew it would require many many layers of cake. Then I also had to think about whether I wanted to cover it in fondant or leave it as a frosted cake. So many decisions. I stood for a while staring at the mountain, as I can see it out the back window at my house. I can name the ski runs from here that we spent all winter skiing down. With a pen and paper I started drawing what I thought the cake might look like. It was a tough one; I wanted to get enough height, but knew I’d be limited by the size of the cake bases that were available. With the expected weight of the cake, I...

Cool Case Friday: An Unforgettable Emergency

As you’ve read about in some of my other cool cases, Emergency Veterinary work is never boring. Today let’s tackle a case that was a real doozy. I met Buddy (name changed for privacy) and his multiple humans after hours on a hot summer day……. I was finally home after finishing another crazy day at the Animal Hospital. Most days were crazy busy, but the summer months are especially busy. My days are a minimum of 11 hours from the time I step into the clinic to the time I walk out the door. That doesn’t take into account the work done after hours at home (ordering, accounting, research, etc). That day was about to become a VERY long and interesting day. Buddy’s owner called me on the emergency line not long after I arrived at home. She stated that he had been outside a few hours ago running around the many acres on their property. When she went outside she found a blood trail and couldn’t figure out where it was coming from until she followed it to him. He was lying in a pool of b...

Canine Hypothyroidism - An Overview

So many disease processes are shared in animals and humans. Many of my clients are surprised to find this out! Today, let’s talk about another one of these diseases……Hypothyroidism. We’ll briefly talk about the anatomy and job of the Thyroid gland, what Hypothyroidism is, what symptoms to watch for, and what can be done to help your pet if they are diagnosed with this condition. Your Thyroid gland is one of the most important organs in your body. Its jobs consist of aiding in metabolism, heart rate, growth rate, and helps maintain your muscles and bones. It can also affect your digestion, skin and hair! These same functions are true for the dog and cat Thyroid gland. This gland lives in the front of your neck, near your trachea and esophagus. In dogs, when the Thyroid gland is not working properly, it is usually UNDER producing Thyroid hormone. That’s what we’ll cover in today’s post. In cats, the opposite is true. When the Thyroid glad is not working correctly, it is usually OVE...
