Spring is in the Air

I haven't been able to do much in the way of cakes since we've moved here. The past 8 weeks have been crazy anyway, due to the cutest newest addition to our lives. But this week the youth group that my husband pastor's at, held a bake sale/Cake auction. Our kitchen turned into a mini bakery, with tons of cupcakes, cookies, brownies and cakes being made. It smelt heavenly, but I feel a major sugar rush from all the taste testing. I was able to make a cake for the auction in my spare time lol IT was quite the busy week let me tell you, but I enjoyed it.
Since the weather here has been beautiful I wanted to do a spring cake. I found a few pictures on line that I really liked, so I took parts from each and made my own creation.
I made a red velvet from scratch using a different recipe then normal and it turned out really well. It had a few extra tedious steps but worth it in the end.
Hope the winners enjoyed it!!

Since moving to Sudbury I haven't had much of an opportunity to make many cakes. Obviously being new to the city, not knowing many people, being pregnant and than having a baby has made it slightly difficult. We are currently renting an apt from a fabulous couple that I've had the privilege of knowing for a few years now. Back in November it was the Mrs. 50th birthday and I wanted to surprise her with a little cake. She is a ECE teacher at an elementary school. So I thought it would be cute to make a teacher themed cake. I made a red velvet cake, and decorated it with different school essentials. The apple looks more like a tomato :)
