Why Cakes? Why not?!

I am not much of a cook...I do okay but I would much rather bake.
Cookies are fun as long as my daughter, Alexis, is there to help me! :)
I have never really done a lot of fancy cake baking until just recently. I came across a "Taste of Home" magazine dedicated to "Fun Foods". I found a recipe for a simple birthday cake and thought it would be perfect for my daughter's 4th birthday.
Upon finishing that cake I suddenly realized that I had a new love for baking cakes and that is why I started this blog; To show off my untrained skills as a mom who can bake some cool cakes!
