EatLoveCake

Practice makes perfect, right? I remember the first cake I made....it was in an Easy Bake Oven. I think I can honestly attribute my love for baking to that tiny incandescent light bulb that baked my very first cake {without mom's help}. I was always my mom's little "helper" in the kitchen. And by helper I mean she gave me the ends of the green beans she snapped off, the rotten tomatoes and anything else virtually inedible and I would cook these up in my own pan with various spices that I am sure were not supposed to be used together....and then I would serve it to my father. I don't remember exactly but I believe he used to pretend to eat it and then hide my masterpiece under the couch. I have loved to cook and bake from an early age, and while I can't say that I am a pro at either, I enjoy it nonetheless. In the past 5+ years I have begun to experiment more with the decorating side. My passion for making things pretty finally worked its way over into the other thing I love most...food. So instead of boring you all with various posts about the cakes of my past, I have decided to chronicle some of my previous baking endeavors in this one post. 

As Marie Antoinette once said "Let Them Eat Cake"

This slightly lopsided tasty treat was made for a great friend of mine's birthday. 

Fierce and Feisty...just like she is <3

I was {sigh} spending Valentine's day with my parents one year. 

Instead of sulking about my single status--I made us a berry layered cake with homemade whipped cream 

Problem Solved. 

For my previously mentioned Fierce and Feisty friend's bridal shower 

I made this cake.  I don't love the taste of fondant so you'll 

never see one of my creations look picture perfect smooth. 

As long as it tastes good, right?

Following a request for a groom's cake with a soccer theme 

and many failed attempts at making a perfectly round cake, I came up with this. 

#Improvising

These are just a few of my many creations. 

Unfortunately some came before I learned how to back up my computer.
