Flower Garden

I made this cake for a friends Mother in Law. She let me choose how to decorate the cake....The mom was flying into town and they had the cake on a previous trip..and wanted more.

I Loved choosing the decorating part because it gave me an excuse to do buttercream flowers. I love all things flowers...I buy scrapbook paper buy the binder...all flowers... and I have yet to do any scrapbooking.... If I ever become a self fulfilled millionaire I will have new fresh flowers all over my house every week...I regress...

The cake was Yellow Butter cake with a Strawberry White Chocolate filling. The bees had little fondant wings...all other decorations were buttercream.

Eddie Van Halen

This cake was for a 14 year old boy's birthday. They just wanted something small and simple. I tried to replicate Eddie's guitar exactly...ugly guitar if you ask me...but what do I know...I had to ask husband which band Eddie Van Halen played for....

Oh? Van Halen you say?....I think he was disgusted in me :)

It was daughter #1's idea to do the flames...she said it would make it "rock and roll"..

The cake was Chocolate fudge with an Oreo buttercream filling.

Baby Blessing

See what happens when I am not allowed to exercise! Too much time on my hands...I'm trying to keep my mind active so bare with the many new post today!

Another friend of mine wanted to order some cookies for her daughter who was to be blessed in church. I had so much fun making these cookies. I cut out each one by hand and then made sure that each of them were decorated differently. One of her boys was also celebrating so I made him just a simple fun cake...actually out of all my cakes this one is one of my favorite because of the simplicity.

Tom and Jerry

Because I am on a baking hiatus for now...I thought I would post some pictures of cakes that I have done in the past starting with Ryan's birthday. Ryan LOVES Tom & Jerry. I made this cake in just a few hours...and had also made cupcakes for his class that matched, I didn't start them until 11PM and I had a fever...they were not my favorite but good enough for a 4 year old to eat!
