Bridal Shower Cake... Sheet Cake Decorated Like Wedding Cake
One of the challenges with sheet cakes (at least for me) is photographing them! I didn't get a great photo of this cake... which is a shame because it turned out really cute. :)

Rosey Day Cake
I found my inspiration for this cake from a contributor's creation in Mailbox News magazine. I LOVED the colors and design and only made a few modifications.
My kids told me it needed something in the center, but I kinda liked seeing the buttercream spatuala marks in the frosting, so left it alone. Besides, it's really easy to overdo a cake. :)

Golf Sheet Cake
Here's a full sheet cake for a teacher's retirement party. It was the first golf cake I've made and a lot of fun!

BumbleBee Transformer Cake
This is a my lame attempt to give my 9 year old a BumbleBee birthday cake. It's head is a helmet, so only the shoulders are cake. Making BumbleBee isn't all that easy to do, especially given every picture I pulled up of him online looked so different from the one before. I decided getting the color right was what I'd concentrate on and just go with a simple design.
This cake was made using a total of 3 sheet cakes (12"x18" pan). So... it's a lot of cake! I didn't smooth the frosting as I decided it added to the rough look of BumbleBee. By the way, I don't think I'm spelling his name right, so might be editing this post later! lol
If I had it to do again, I'd add a license plate to the front. Would have been cool, but I ran out of time!
