Let's Go Bulldogs!

This is the cake I made for my high school reunion picnic. I was surprised that it actually ended up looking like a bulldog.

Flowers for Trishie

I did this cake for my mom. It was the most time consuming, but it also is my favorite.

Treasureland NASCAR

I did this cake for Dottie, Kirsten and Sam Devore for the Colonial Heights Treasureland party. They had a race theme going on.

Superman

This is one of the first cakes I made. It's not the best, but there's something endearing about it. My brother is a Superman fanatic. This year I did a better one, I'll put up that picture once I find one.

Spiderman

This is Spiderman. I made this for my brother when he was coming to sing in Georgia. The picture is small, but it's the only one I had.

Let's Go Red Sox!

This was my birthday cake. My mom was horrified that I was doing my own cake. I let her bake the cake, and I decorated it.

Gerber Daisies

I did this cake for my sister-in-law's birthday.

Checkerboard Cake

This is a checkerboard cake that I made for my family.

Spongebob Squarepants

My nephew, Charlie, loves Spongebob more than anything else in the world. At this point, he was my only nephew, and Aunt Libby aims to please. When he said he wanted a Spongebob cake, it's what he got.

Bunny

My mom taught me how to make this bunny long before I started decorating. It's still one of my favorites.

Harry

I did this cake for my best friend's son, Liam's fourth birthday. He is obsessed with Harry Potter, and his reaction to the cake was priceless. It goes down as one of my favorite cake moments!

Welcome

Welcome to Cakes by Crews! My name is Elizabeth Crews, and I've been decorating cakes for about a year. In high school some friends and I would often spend a random Friday night baking and decorating cakes. There wasn't much else to do in Northeast Mississippi where I grew up. Ten years later, I'm working on my Ph. D. in Southern literature, and I wanted a hobby that didn't include reading. I asked my mom for cake decorating tips for Christmas last year. She not only gave me tips, but she gave me a lesson by a close family friend who bakes cakes for a living. The lesson taught me a lot of the basics, but over the past year I've learned lots of other neat tricks. Once I got started, I haven't been able to stop. I love the way I'm able to be creative while also using my hands. It's has become a good outlet to releive stress! I'll be posting some pictures of cakes as I make them and take them. Many of the pictures come courtesy of my Aunt Kathy and my sister, Molly. They seem to always have their cameras with them when I forget mine! I hope you enjoy!
