Shannon Latham's baby shower

I made this one for Shannon Latham's baby shower. I think that it turned out really cute. Thanks for all the help Mary!

Wilton course 1 final project


This is my final project for my Wilton course 1 cake. While decorating this cake I have decided that I hate making roses. Not only do I think they are a little out dated, I don't make them very well. Mary said it was the icing, but she was trying to be the nice instructor. Also I learned that it's really hard to make buttercream icing really smooth if all you have to work with the small straight spatula that comes with the course 1 kit.

2008 Pie Contest


Ok, so this isn't a cake. Every time the Hansen side of the family gets together we have a pie making contest. This is my entry. It is a cherry pie. The decoration on the top is not really worms as one might think, but a cherry blossom branch, get it because it's a cherry pie. With this cleverness you would think I would have one, but alas I did not. Kish one this year because she appealed to the masses (kids) and made a pudding praline pie, or something like that. It was I have to admit very yummy.

Wilton star tip




This is a cake I did for my Wilton 1 class using the star tip. It got a little squished on the 45 min drive home.

I made this cake for my niece Lexi's birthday. This is my first fondant cake. I love using fondant. It makes cakes look so pretty.

Cupcakes

Just some cute pink cupcakes. I made these special for Claire, Kylie, and Lexi since they didn't get their own cake for the 2 year old party. I tried to glue a ribbon around them. I think I needed to use more hot glue and gave up after 3. I kept getting clumps in my icing so the rosettes aren't as cute as I would have liked.

2 year old party

Last Sunday we had a 2 year old party for Charlie, Sadie, Sam and Ethan. They got to eat their cakes 1 year old birthday style. We have learned that it is a lot more fun doing this with one year olds. Two year old start having table manners and want forks and stuff.

Lexi's B-day Party

Here is a cake I make for Lexi's B'day. This was my first bow. Don't look too close.
