Oops

I made a cake this year - just forgot to post it on here. This was for my mother-in-laws birthday last month. Kinda going for Mardigras colors since she is from Louisiana originally.

Devils food cake with vanilla buttercream surrounded with fudge swirl and cherry chip icecream on cones. Definetly a neat way to have your cake and icecream.

Well Hello Again....

As I no longer bake cakes (when you are on a diet it is just safer not to tempt fate), I though I would post a few photos for my mom.

This is my only hydrangea tree that lived after I planted it this spring. I put together and installed the tree ring my mom bought me tonight (sorry mom it broke in a few spots while I was putting it together).

And this one is of me - my first time in a dress since my first wedding - see the diet is working (even though it meant giving up being creative with cake).

So anyway - love to my momma and anyone who bothers to stop by and read my strange rantings. I should be posting a few photos of cakes soon - can't get away not making my kids cakes.

Happy Anniversary!

White on white with white anniversary cake.

Ho Ho Ho

Merry Christmas Season!

Gobble gobble

A little pre turkey day treat to share with the class...

A little non-edible

I learned two important rules tonight - 1) don't burn yourself on the hot glue gun and 2) measure before you start so you know what your making will fit (I think this should have been rule 1!). Anyway, after replacing the doors and storm doors to my house I just knew I wanted to hang wreathes for the seasons on my front door - too bad there isn't much room and I didn't find that out till the project was over - sigh.

Luckily for me it fit in between the kitchen door and storm door - so not a total waste. (Wow I need to paint the basement door - it is looking grimey. Sorry my ADD kicked in! SQUIRL!!!) I think I need to rework my bow but all in all I'm a happy camper.

Air yum yum...

Something a little different and leaning (gotta work on that problem). Zebra stripes, stars, hearts, flowers, and peace signs - what else says girl? This chocolate cake is covered with butter cream icing and decorated with fondant accents.

NASCAR - enough said

For the ultimate Nascar fan (or so I guess) - chocolate and vanilla sheet cake with butter cream icing.

STRIKE!

Reto coloring - just need the shirt with my name on it and I'm good to go. Have I even mentioned that I LOVE bowling shirts? Not sure why but I think they are cute.

Bowling ball cake - french vanilla cake with butter cream icing.

Thomas

My first attempt at a Thomas the tank engine cake.

Making what feels like a ton of these today.

Funky diva cake

Just a quick description: ~ )

Rock Guitar

Electric guitar cake with hand made white chocolate microphone.

Tutu

Something a little different that I created:

The inspiration.

The final result plus the hat that goes with it.

Only my sister would walk around in something like this.

What I've been up to

Needless to say, I have be neglecting to post pictures here for a while. Boo me! So here is what I've been up to this month (along with boyscout camping, fundraising, etc.) -

Drum cake with flames - chocolate cake with fondant flames and butter cream icing.

The seasons progression - ear of corn cake for a local farmer, the umbrellas represent his winter vacation in Florida. Chocolate cake with whipped icing, candy corn, and fondant.

Smiley skeleton face cupcakes - chocolate cupcakes with vanilla frosting.

White chocolate 3D skull - my chocolate working skills are slowly improving.

I think that is all I have been up to - so busy with everything else I'm not sure if I forgot one or not. So, stay tuned and hopefully I will be more timely with my posts !~ ) Oh and Happy Fall, Harvest, and Halloween (in case I don't get back as soon as I plan).

Not going my way

I should have known better than to attempt this cake today, but I did anyway. It didn't turn out how I had planned but I don't think it look horrible by any means either! (Hope the customer agrees.)

Fire truck 1st birthday cake -elongated sheet cake (1/2 chocolate and 1/2 vanilla) with butter cream icing and molded white chocolate helmets. I am told yellow helmets means the fire fighter is a volunteer, you learn something new every day!

Apparently today was a chocolate day, here is something extra that I did - match sticks.

Beep, beep, beep Under construction

As I do consider putting a cake together as "construction" I never thought I would be "building" a castle. Okay, so a lame reference and now, onto the cake...

Castle cake - 1/2 french vanilla & 1/2 milk chocolate covered in butter cream.

Zoom Zoooommmm!

Cars themed race track cake - milk chocolate cake with whipped frosting.

21

What a great theme for a 21st birthday party - blackjack.

Zebra striped purse cake with fondant cards, fake diamond accents, and real poker chips. Red paper hearts have names such as friend, mother, daughter, sister, and aunt on them to represent the people who bought the cake for the birthday girl.
