cake making

The pass couple of months I have been making cakes. Just for a hobby. I do not plan on ever selling cakes at all. May do them every now and again for family or just to have at home. Well, I am going to try to make at least one once a month. Well in Jan I made a Hello Kitty cake. (will be making another one for next weekend for my great niece's birthday party).  ( I will post pictures at the end of this post lol). Then in February I made three cakes. One was for Valentine's Day. It was a square cake and the first time I used fondant rolling it out and putting it on the cake. I then cut out hearts for it and made some little balls to go around the bottom part of it. Then I made two cakes for last Sunday.  One was a cowboy cake that I made for my dad for his birthday. I was going to put fondant on the bottom part of it but did not get enough of fondant to roll out to put on it. So I just that fondant to make a cowboy hat to put on the cake (the bottom part of the cake was like a sheet cake) I made the hat out of cake also. Then I made a star and horse shoes to put on it. I made a old timey gun  out of chocolate and bullets to go on it. On the day I carried it to my dad I got to thinking that I should have made more bullets to put on the edges of the cake but if I make another one like that I will. The cowboy cake turned out pretty good. Then I made a smallish round cake with rosettes on it for my mom for her birthday. My parents birthday is so close together that I thought I would just make them both a cake and carry it to them. Yes my mom's cake was simple in some ways. I had never really made rosettes on a cake before but it turned out to. I got that color mist to add color to the rosettes and I think it turned out for it to be the first time ever doing it. Like I said I am making another hello kitty cake for next weekend and then I may try to make a Minnie mouse cake as Jelly Bean likes minnie mouse and why not make a cake like that. But undecided if I want to do that cake before or after easter. I am so undecided on how I want to make the easter cake.
Couldnt find the picture of the hello kitty cake sorry.
