Looking back on cakes...

Ok, I have to say that writing this post made me feel REALLY old. Rosaleen and I started decorating cakes probably when I was 12 or 13. We were doing it through 4-H, but basically we were self teaching ourselves. Kath would come help us out on some of our projects.
Here is a cake I made for my brother during his obsession with Titanic, so I would say it was 1997? 98? Yes, that's supposed to be Titanic in water. ☺
When I was a senior in highschool we were fundraising like crazy for a cross country school trip that we were planning. I made most of my money doing bake sale type things...I made lots of pies and decorated cakes. I even took pictures of most of the cakes, but unfortunately my camera and my skillz were lacking and most of my photos look like the one above and the one below, so I only posted a couple.
I made this one of the 12 tribes for a feast weekend in 2001.
Caleb's b-day 2001
Gwendy's wedding 2001
Sharon and Chandra had birthday's the same week as Gwendy's wedding so I decorated their cakes using leftover flowers and frosting. ☺
Craig and Gretchen's Wedding...2004?
John and Nomi's wedding (2004) I screwed up big time, I was supposed to do squiggly white on the very top cake over the brown frosting and to this day I don't know why I forgot to do that. =P
Jenny and Bryan's wedding cake, 2004
In my defense of these horrible photos, most of these, if not all, were taken with a 35mm camera.
I made a lot of Janille's kids birthday cakes, but in true fashion, I never took pictures of them which is kind of bummer.
