Cakes by Kristen H.: Sports 1st Birthday Cake

Thursday, October 21, 2010

These were for my nephew's first birthday in August, 2010. The large cake is an 11x15 sheet cake, the smash cake is half of a sports ball pan.

Kristen: NC, United States; I have been happily married to the man of my dreams for 17+ years now. I was a stay at home mom for 5 years to our two boys who are 10 and 13. I have always enjoyed baking and always thought that birthday cakes had to be homemade to be special! I began decorating cakes as a hobby in 2003 for friends and family members. I was a full-time working mom, so without the benefit of decorating classes, I taught myself through a lot of trial and error (mostly errors to begin with!). There are many many helpful websites where I learned a lot of techniques. I am always willing to try something new! Actually, that is what I love about decorating cakes... it is always a new experience, and, although it is always challenging, I seem to have more fun each time. My husband and my boys love to be my taste testers, too! I often make cakes based on photos in magazines or online-- "borrowing" other's ideas. You are welcome to borrow mine as well.
