Ahoy Matey!

This was an interesting cake for me to make in light of my recent complaint that so many boys' apparel has skulls on them.  From our recent family viewing of the Pirates of a Caribbean movies, Cameron and Cade have taken a liking to pirates.  Knowing my own children, the skull and crossbones seems innocent and playful.   But perhaps I have learned a lesson about judging the clothes someone might select for their children to wear.

Cakes Galore

It has been awhile since I last posted the cakes I have been making so I have a few fun ones to share.

This cake was super fun!  I tried a new product...edible glitter!  The picture doesn't make it real obvious, but the black stripes are super shimmery!  This eight year old diva had a great cake!

 The Chicago Bears is a love of this little girls so she got a super fun cake!

A Boston Red Sox fan at heart recieved this cake for his birthday!

Boy or Girl?

These cakes are for an expecting mother who is leaving the surprise of the gender until the birth!

Start Your Engines!

This little race fan got a special cake for his 8th birthday!  Happy birthday, Dylan!

Music Fun

Graduation

Graduation + last week of school + packing up classroom + Eric being gone + baseball schedule = 1 busy mama 

Phew, now I am ready to have a relaxing Memorial Day weekend!

Baptism

My first baptism cake!  Two young girls at my church made the decision to go public with their decision to be a follower of Christ.  I am so proud of them!

S'more Fun

For Cade's 5th birthday we celebrated with a camping theme.   I couldn't think of anything more appropriate to make for his cake...

For My Grandma

Today we are celebrating my grandma's 90th birthday!  I love you, Grandma!

Sweet 16

My cousin ordered this cake for her daughter's Sweet 16!  The birthday girl even designed it herself!

Getting Messy

A little girl plans to get messy with this cake when she digs into it on her 1st birthday!!

Yum!

I was so happy with the colors on this cake.  I was able to match it perfectly to the themed decorations for a baby shower.

Even More Stripes

Zebra cakes seem to be a favorite.  This one is super cute!

More Stripes

Animal print is trendy right now, but for our community it has its own meaning...it is our school mascot.  Yep, we are the ZEBRAS!  This lucky little girl is celebrating in style!

Celebrating 40 Years!

Eric's office coordinator recently celebrated her 40th year with Farm Bureau Insurance!  Wow, that is amazing!  Eric recognized her by presenting her with this cake.

Faux Cake

Wow, I was honored to be asked to make this cake from a friend who owns her own boutique.  The store is celebrating its 5th anniversary and this weekend is also the store's Christmas Open House. 

The cake was my first "faux" cake so I went into the project on a learning curve.  I must say that decorating with foam dummies is actually easier than with real cake.  I enjoyed making this cake and am glad I had the opportunity!

Baby Girl

My chic client did not want a traditional baby shower cake!

May the Force be With You

I made these lightsabers for my son's seventh birthday.  He chose to have a Boston Creme Pie so I made the lightsabers out of Rice Crispy treats. 

More Toy Story

A Little Surprise

Cameron, Cade, and I are working our way around Eric's new offices to meet all of the employees.  While we are there to introduce ourselves, we are leaving behind a little treat for them to enjoy!!  These chocolate truffles are soooo sweet!
