Oldies but Goodies

What 5 year old in 2009 wouldn't want a Hannah Montana guitar cake?

A couple summers ago during the Olympics we were inspired to host our own
backyard family Olympic birthday party complete with a medal cake
and torch cupcake cones!


Owls were all the rage this  particular year at birthday time.

And then there was the cat phase daughter #1 went through.

Sea Turtle Dreams

 
 
Daughter #2 turned 9 last summer and her request was a sea turtle cake.  Not some baby-ish kind of thing, mind you!  Not for this one. Trust me when I say she had very high expectations!  Thank goodness for a very detailed tutorial on a Pinterest site on how to make this fella!  I think he turned out swimmingly, don't you?  We laid him out on a bed of graham cracker sand on a beach towel with some shells and rocks from one of our beach trips.  Thought I would share him tonight because he makes me feel like it is summer again! 



What a Weekend!

This week has been rather busy!  I had several orders to fill, and feel like I could swim in all the buttercream I have made!  I actually woke up with a very tingly hand this a.m. due to overuse of the piping bag!  YIKES!  In addition to making several dozen cupcakes for people, I had three birthday cake orders.  Here are my latest creations!  I hope the weather cooperated so these folks could have their parties!

Thomas was Wheeshing and Whooshing to the Wasinger's house....

Another cake for the Wasinger's little man's mustache and bowtie bash...


Here is the cake after the All-star
birthday boys' nicknames were added.
This stack of sports balls for an 18th birthday party - that basketball will
go down as one of the most time consuming things ever!  LOTS OF DOTS!!!

And some cupcakes to boot!
