Grady 1st Birthday

My nephew just turned 1! I can't believe it! The party was a monkey theme, so this is what we came up with.

The cake is chocolate with banana buttercream.

The poor boy was having an allergy attack, so his eyes are all swollen, but he seemed to have a good time digging into his smash cake.

Happy Birthday buddy!

Claira's 3rd Birthday!

My sweet niece was having a tea party birthday party, so her mama asked me to make a tea pot cake. We talked about colors and, as it turns out, the party colors just happen to match Mrs Potts.

So, I present to you, the Mrs Potts teapot cake.

The cake is strawberry with vanilla frosting and a strawberry filling. Yum!!

I thought cupcakes would be good for the tea party too, so I made a few cupcakes to go with it.

Happy Birthday sweet girl!!

Winter Cake

I have an absolutely fabulous group of girlfriends from our college days. Some of us have moved away, but there are still a group of us in the area and we try to get together frequently. Every year, we have an ornament exchange around Christmas. There is always a good time to be had, complete with food, laughter, story telling, more laughter and just an all together good time.

My contribution to the food this (last) year was a cake! (I know, you're very suprised!) I decided to go with a very simple winter theme. I think it turned out cute, but I wish I lived nearer to a store that sold luster dust or pearl dust or some kind of shimmery dust so that I could have put some on the snow to make it a little sparkly.

Merry (very late) Christmas!

Happy Birthday, Zion!

I made this cake to celebrate our indoor climbing gym's 5th birthday and a climbing competition we were holding. (Back in December. Still catching up.) The competition was called the "Blacklight Boulderama", so I tried to go for the blacklight effect on the cake.



In case you don't know a thing about climbing (or you just can't tell what they are), the cake is decorated with little climbing holds, the logo for the logo for the competition and the mountain from the logo of the gym.
