Tee Time

My cousin's father-in-law turned 70 two weeks ago. She had a black and white themed party for him, but wanted the cake to have a golf element. So I made a golf ball with some silver and black argyle. Argyle makes things fancy, of course!

Put On Your Dancing Shoes

When I think of disco, the words "elegant" and "fancy" don't really come to mind. I had to make it work for a recent cake though. The co-worker who ordered it sent me the invites to her 50th birthday party which were black with white filigree. She wanted it to match the invites and incorporate a disco theme, plus a high heel and dancing steps. Lots to put on a cake, but I think I pulled it off.

Yee-Haw!

Here's a cowboy-themed cake I made for this weekend. The lady who ordered had a picture of what she wanted with just a couple of changes, so that made it easy squeezy. Giddy up!

Don't Bite Your Friends, Bite This Cake!

I loves me some Yo Gabba Gabba! I have a keytar toy that I might let my son play with in the future. MIGHT. He'll have to earn it. ;) So I always welcome Yo Gabba Gabba! themed cakes. For this one, the lady only wanted Muno. I added his bumps after I took the picture. Oops!

Show Off Your Stripes

The cake orders have picked up. Woo hoo! Here's a zebra striped cake with matching cupcakes that I'm delivering today.

Get in. Get out. Get away.

The Academy Awards are tonight and I'm going to a party. I'm not super into The Oscars, but I do enjoy a party. I figured I'd make a Drive-inspired cake. Yes, I know it was only nominated for one award, but it's my pick for best movie of 2011!

I decided to go with the jacket Ryan Gosling wears in the movie. Here's a picture of it if you're nuts and haven't seen the movie yet.


Here's my cake. I added a diamond texture to the fondant base and some pearl dust all over to match the jacket.

The Eighth Wonder of the World

Four years ago I made Mike a King Kong cake for his birthday. Well, I attempted to make one. This was before I took any classes, so the cake was a hot mess. It started melting in the car. It just didn't look good.

Here's a picture of the cake. I post it with great hesitation!


It's terrible, I know. That cake has haunted me ever since. This year I decided it was time for a King Kong do-over. I'm happy to say that this one turned out waaaaay better.
