Last Hoorah!

Today, I wrapped up my cake business for an indefinite period of time. Thank you for all of your business over the past year and a half! I sure didn't think I would be launching a business while I was taking the cake class! I'm going to enjoy my summer off, and sneak in a few weddings, and go from there. My babies are my priority! Thanks again to you all for your support!

Have a great summer!

Sports Cake---Invasion

Derby Invasion celebrated 10 years of sports, and celebrated with a big banquet, and they asked me to make the cake! What an honor!

Here I am, working away trying to get the finishing touches complete! Not many shots like these....and for good reason! :-)

April 2010

These are hideous beep-beeps (as my son calls them) but they are fun for little boys!
Flowers are fondant, and please don't ask about the missing cupcake. It's a sore subject.
I was roped into a cake for my cake decorating friend! Kind of pressure-some to say the least!
Easter cookies....a total experiment!

March 2010 Cakes

For all of you who are Dallas Cowboys Fans, this cake is for you!
I happen to like the quilted block look for this baby shower cake, and it was my first time to have the nerve to try a few zig-zag loops for my fondant loop bow.

New patterns

I played with frosting today.....and here were some of my creations

Barbie Cake and Cookies

This Barbie cake, or "Aurora Cake" as Abby called it, was for my 4 year old. I made it to mimic the dress that she wears when she's not wearing cake.
They are more lovely arranged on a platter...but then the designs aren't as easy to see!!!

Train Cake

Earlier, I posted a picture of this cake, sideways, and without the train. Now, here's the completed cake!

Sweet Things

For Isabel's 6th birthday, she had a Valentine's party!!!
Patty's birthday is also today, so she received a tasty kind of "present."
In case you were wondering what it looked like BEFORE the cinnamon rolls were baked, I thought I'd include a shot of the sweet goodness.
My friend Mary thinks she needs a standing order of 2-3 dozen cookies PER WEEK delivered to her at Bible Study Fellowship. She's cracking me up! However, they are pretty irresistible!

Busy February!

Chocolate cake with peanut butter filling and ganache
Homemade tea rings!
Griffen's birthday cake, minus the train.

I have had the kitchen torn apart for bakery items for WEEKS now! I've made cinnamon rolls, tea rings, sugar cookies, and the WORKS for several people around town. I will try to post the picture WITH the train when I receive the picture. I am certain, by the way, that the Saints won because I elected to make fleur-de-lis cookies! :-)

Blue, BLUE, and more bLuE!!!

This past month has been full of boy shower events! Here's a couple more. It's growing more and more difficult to keep on coming up with new ideas! Enjoy!

Shower cakes

The above cake was chocolate cake on the top tier, and it was a surprise on the bottom! The bottom tier had two layers. One was white cake, one was strawberry cake! What a fun way to diversify for your crowd!
This cake was made with coffee flavored chocolate cake, mocha frosting, and coffee mocha fondant. YUM!
