Baking - cakes and pies, oh my!

Those that know me, know that I can and will cook, sometimes I even enjoy it.  But baking is my real love.  I'm not great like those people on shows, and I don't have the patience for that kind of thing (I mean you're just going to eat it right??).  But over the last year or so, I've attempted drawing on cakes and using fruits as pretty, pretty edible cheesecake design.  Mostly just for fun.  And for delicious cheesecake and cake.

These are two cakes I made for doctors at the practice I work at that moved (for various reasons within a few months of each other). One always wore a bow tie to work.  The other pretty much saw any type of animal that walked through the door.  She even did surgery on a 10 ft. python (THAT was an interesting experience)!

Batman cake - for a coworker and friend's wedding shower.  She loves Batman.

This is a baby shower cake that I recently made for one of my coworkers, for her baby girl.

And these two specimens are probably the best cheesecake you'll ever have (recipe found here).  Plus a little decorating fun with fresh fruit.

Desserts just are the best :-)
