She asked simply for a bass fishing cake for her Dad. Left the design up to me....so after searching for ideas, I found a cake that had a fish coming out of it and knew that I had to make one of my own!
The fish is made of rice krispie treats, covered in fondant and hand painted. I added his tail at the base of the cake. Simple, yet fun.
Whew....what a busy Saturday! (or really late Friday night!)
Oh....my.....goodness......DID I have FUN with this cake! How invigorating to get a theme that seems so removed from the current trends of cartoon characters! Luckily I was trusted to make my own decisions about design. (Gotta love that!) I started with a stacked whimsy cake all green, added the yellow brick road (fondant) and then went to the Emerald City. The ruby slippers are colored chocolate that is covered with edible glitter. The rainbow and Emerald City are also chocolate. My melted witch, complete with hat and broom are chocolate and fondant. I incorporated the poppies and the mean apple trees. If I had more room, I would have kept on and on! 
The boys had their first "Blue and Gold" Banquet for scouts today. Benjamin's den performed a skit and all the boys received their progress beads, badges and patches. I missed the first part of the banquet because I was delivering a cake.....but was able to see the end. Scouts can be a very rewarding program for boys and our boys seem to enjoy it.
This is a celebration cake for the Teacher of the Year at the boys' school. I thought I would incorporate the "typical" teacher things in the design. 
Purple mania!
She wanted a contact list with all her friends that were coming to the slumber party. 
All tied up pretty with purple and yellow bows. How fun for the birthday girl to share with her classmates at school!
What do you do when you are turning 2 on Valentine's Day and you LOVE Dora? 
These cookie favors were for a team celebration. The ribbons match the team colors of garnet and black. Each player received a personalized cookie with name and jersey number. 
I had a request for a baby shower cake to match the paper napkins. Pastel polka dots with a cute little baby bassinet. I found some great scrapbook paper for the cakeboard and matching ribbon for the edge of the board.
