Here are pictures of the birthday cakes that I made in 2012.
Nathan's birthday was in April, we wanted a Star Wars cake... although I don't think that this is the best cake that I've ever decorated, I still thought I should post.
The stars and letters were made out of tinted fondant... which I HATE USING, but just because I'm not good at it... one of these days I will master that stuff!
The light sabers on the characters were supposed to light up, but they wouldn't stay lit :(
Happy 5th Birthday Nathan!

Dave's birthday was in April also - I made his a cake a little more age appropriate and super chocolaty delicious (since he's a chocolate freak!)

And for Natalie's birthday in June, she wanted another castle cake. I did this for her 3rd or 4th birthday, so I've had a trial run at this before, but I think that I did much better this time!
The pillars were made of 2 standard ice cream cones stacked upside down on top of each other - then I coated pointed sugar cones in pink sprinkles to top them off. Along with a ton of butter cream icing and pink misting spray - I think that it turned out pretty good.
Happy 7th Birthday Natalie :)

I made my little cousin Emily Carson's personal 1st Birthday cake (quite the honor!).
Just small enough for her to dig into :)

Last birthday cake that I made this year was for my sister Robin. I found this idea on Pinterest (imagine that...) and was waiting for an excuse to try it!
HOW MUCH FUN IS THAT?!
