Apple Cinnamon Cheesecake

This cake is all about the taste. My dad loves cheesecake and I've tried a variety of favors on him. For this cake I took the recipe for a traditional cheesecake and substituted cinnamon for the lemon zest and pureed apple pie filling for the lemon juice. I also added cinnamon to the graham craker crust and topped the cake with a apples from the apple pie filling. YUM.

BAM BAM/Flinstones Baby's First Birthday Cake
This was by far my favorite cake to design and decorate. Again using the teddy bear molded pan I cut the ears and snout off when ready to decorate. I piped icing on the baby using the triple star tip in the appropriate colors. Instead of a traditional border I using yogurt covered raisins to simulate the look of rocks or pebbles.  The only non edible part of the cake is the googly eyes which could easily be done with piped icing too.

Superman Baby Cake for Shower
This cake was fun to do. All the icing is butter cream in various colors. To make the baby I used a teddy molded pan. Once the cake was ready to be decorated I cut the ears and snout off the bear and used the triple star tip to color the baby. The cape is made of red rolled fondant. Everything else is butter cream icing.
