Sorry for Slacking

Ok so I realize that is has been a while since I posted anything here!  We have had a crazy year.  Spring and Summer brought a bunch of cake orders taking most of my time.  This fall, I entered the cake decorating contest at the Art on the Square festival on a whim and won!  Not to mention the birth of our second (and last!) child in October!  So things have been busy and a little on the nutty side.

Now that we have our little Brenna born and the holidays have slowed cake requests, I promise to update this blog more regularly, scouts honor! 

Taylor's Tinkerbell Birthday

This is my niece Taylor.  She looooooves Tinkerbell!  So what else to do than a Tinkerbell cake when her dad called requesting a party cake!  I did this one all chocolate and topsy turvy just for fun.  I did use a store bought Tinkerbell to top the cake, but hey, she's three and it's fun to keep something off your cake!  All the flowers and grass blades are hand made from fondant.  All were painted with pixy dust of course!

Happy Birthday Tator bug!  We love you tons!


        

Festival for Life 2009

One of my great long time friends, Jason, requested this cake for an AIDS benefit dinner.  Jason is highly active in the community and giving back is one of his favorite things to do.  So when he called asking for a cake to compliment a dinner party for Festival for Life 2009, I couldn't refuse.  This year's image is attached below.  I based the cake on the image and the dinner party theme.  The fork and knife wrapped in the napkin on top are fondant.  A perfect topper to a dinner party cake! 

Thanks for all you do Jason!
  
  
        


                  

Mary Lynn's First Birthday

This gorgeous pink and yellow cake was requested by Mary Lynn's mom, Jessica.  She wanted something different but classic at the same time.  This is the first yellow and pink combo we've done and I must say it turned out wonderfully!  I also hand painted Mary Lynn's monogram on the front to match her party invitations. 

We hope you had a great first birthday, Mary Lynn!


                                                                     

Jonathan's First Birthday

The perfect cake for a little boy's first birthday!  Jonathan's party was done in a construction theme.  We did a simple but completely cute construction cake.  Three tiers of yellow and marble cake, and a little smash cake for Jonathan of course. 

Jonathan, we hope your first birthday was loads of fun!



                                                                               

Leania's Texas Bevo Cake

This cake was a special birthday request.  Not my normal oversized, fondant covered delicacy, but definately different by it's own right!  Leania's mom requested this single tier yellow cake, buttercream only iced cake.  Pretty straight forward, but it had to be covered in Texas Bevos!  Leania loves Texas so a Bevo cake she got!

Happy Birthday Leania!  I hope you enjoyed your Bevo cake!




                                                                                 

Spray of Hearts

This cake was a special Valentine's request from Sarah Caruso.  Her husband is a hard working Hall County Fire Fighter.  She wanted to surprise the fire house with a treat for Valentine's Day.  This was her idea, all I did was execute it!  The fire hydrant is all chocolate cake, no filler anywhere.  The badge on the front is the Hall County Fire Services badge I hand painted on a slab of fondant. 

I hope everyone enjoyed this special Valentine's Day Treat!
 


                                                                  

Granddad's Model T

This cake was for Kevin's Granddad's 90th birthday this past Valentine's Day.   I did a simple two tier cake with drapped fondant with a hand painted 1919 Model T scene on top. 

We hope this was a special birthday for Granddad!
 


                                                                      

Our House Divided

A house divided is the norm in our closely knit extended family.  With half devoted Tech fans and half die hard Georgia fans, it make for an interesting football season!  So when my Mother in Law, Sister in Law and I decided to be a little sneaky, this division made for a great surprise!

Wes, my brother in law and Pop (Glenn our step-dad) have birthdays about a week apart.  I had originally planned to make Wes a mountain biking cake, since we love to ride!  Cherry called asking about a cake for Glenn, that is when the hampster started running the wheel!

We decided to tell Glenn we were having a surprise party for Wes, and told Wes just the opposite.  What kind of cake do you present for one party where one birthday boy loves Tech and the other loves Georgia??  This is what I came up with.  If you look closely, you'll notice the score board has 1 second on the clock at half time and the score is GT 50 and GA 32, thier ages.  And the flavor was a surprise too....key lime cake! 

I've had mixed reviews, although the entire cake was lime and delicious, some say the GA side tasted better than the Tech side.  Guess we will never know the truth about which side tasted better! 
           


Happy Birthday Pop and Wes!! 
                 


                                                                 

Emily's Groovy 13th

This cake was for my great friend, Samantha's daughter, Emily, who turned 13.  What do you give a girl who is into Converse, peace signs, skinny jeans and loves purple???  You give her this cake, in chocolate of course!  I strung beads on wire to make the "13" topper.  I thought Emily might want to recycle the beads into some far out peace sign ear rings or something

I hope you had an awesome birthday Emily!  Peace Out!
