After a 2 month break from cakes, I am back at it. On December 23rd, my daughter was born. We are still trying to get her on a schedule, but she is doing really well.
I thought I was going into preterm labor and had to cancel my son's 2nd birthday party. 2 weeks later we celebrated just the 3 of us with a cake he "designed" and help make.
I did this in about 30 minutes so it isn't my best work ever. My son chose all the colors which is why it is an orange and yellow monkey. It was a banana cake from The Cake Bible with chocolate ganache icing. All the decorations are fondant.
I was itching to get back in the kitchen this past week, so I threw this "slice of cake" together. I tried a new recipe for red velvet cake off the cake flour box, it was awful!

I'm so glad your back! Can't wait to see more of your cakes!
Rachel, It's nice to hear from you again. Your son's birthday cake turned out cute. I especially like the piece of cake covered in fondant. The cake club in Georgetown will be doing purse cakes on Monday (weather permitting). I'm so excited. Hope to see you back soon. I still haven't done a topsey turvey cake except for that day.
Congrats on your daughter. She looks so cute in her little hat. I hope things are going well for you and your family.
I love both the monkey cake and the cake slice cake! Super cute! Congrats on your new baby!
She's so pretty and peaceful.
His cake is cute and I liked that he helped with it.
Ooh, did you make the red velvet cake recipe on the Swan's Flour box? I made that one a while back and it was BAD.
