The Graduate

This is a picture of the latest cake that I have made.  It is not  near as pretty as the young lady sitting next to it, but  I was pleased.  :-)  I made this for my "baby" sister this past weekend for her high school graduation celebration.  She asked for zebra stripes, hot pink, and gerber daisies and was very happy with how it turned out.  You cannot tell very well from the photo, but it is also a topsy turvy cake, and new technique that I have been working on.  I felt it fit w/ the whimsy of the zebra strips.  The cake was a dark chocolate fudge cake w/ cream cheese filling and iced in cream cheese.  The zebra strips and decorative pink and black balls are made w/ fondant.  I had so much fun making this for my sister.  Congratulations Emily, I love you!

I Do...

This past weekend I was so thrilled to be able to make the wedding and groom's cakes for a very special cousin of mine.  She used bluebonnets and white roses as her flowers and her colors were blue and white.  For the wedding cake I did a white cake with lemon buttercream.  The top and bottom layer were filled with a strawberry mousse and the middle layer was filled with  lemon creamcheese.  The groom's cakes were a simple chocolate fudge and topped with chocolate tuxedo strawberries.  It was a beautiful day for an outdoor wedding.  Congratulations Tori and Taylor!

ALVIN!!!!

It has been a while since my last post and it has mainly been because life has just gotten busy.  Here are two cakes that I made a while back for two different friends of mine.  I made the camo cake for a friend of mine's little boy who was having a hunting themed birthday party.  Then, the chimpmunks cake was for, you guessed it, an Alvin and the Chipmunks party.  Did you know that it is very hard to find chipmunks birthday decorations?  You would think with how popular the movie is that they would have birthday supplies for this theme.  I really think they are missing out here!  :-)
