I have been working on some new cake designs and will continue to do so this coming week. I feel like I go through periods where I am really into cookies, then cupcakes, and finally now cakes. I definitely get bored doing the same thing over and over again, which is why I love having the flexibility to try new things. So here are some photos of some cakes I made. I would love to hear which one you like the most and why, so please drop me a comment and share your thoughts. I tried some new techniques while decorating these cakes and will be sharing more of the details with you in future posts, but just to clarify some questions I know I will be asked I will share some of the details now. Well, here come the photos!

No, I did not hand pipe this…this cake was done with cake stencils, which I absolutely love!

I really do like simplistic cakes that have one focal point, so I chose a gorgeous dahlia to be the star this time.

For this cake I had Karrie design some graphic flower images for me, and I printed them on frosting sheets and then applied them to the cake. Very modern, graphic, and simplistic I think. Again, I will be doing a more detailed post on this technique in the future.

And for this last cake I got inspired when I went to my local flower shop and saw this lovely, rustic branch and these button mums. I think this four tier type of cake works well with it too.

Before I end my post I wanted to share 6 random facts about myself with you since I was tagged by The Cupcakery…

1) I was actually going to be a school teacher and had almost finished my whole degree when I decided to switch careers and go into pastry school.

2) I have been dying to travel more and can't wait until I get to go to Europe again…I would love to live in Florence for a couple months!

3) I am a farmers market fan and love checking out any and every one!

4) I grew up with foster brothers and sisters and now my sister has three gorgeous foster daughters that she is about to adopt…I definitely was blessed with inspiring parents.

5) My husband is the one that convinced me to start a blog and I will be forever thankful to him for that.

6) I actually knew my husband in junior high, but we didn't start dating until right after high school and then lasted through college and the rest is history…
