Giddy Up Cowgirl!

How fun!
A first birthday party with a cowgirl theme. The Mom found a cake that she really liked and asked me to make a similar cake. After we adjusted the design for servings needed and added some coordinating cupcakes.....here is the final design!

The cowgirl hat is made from a combination of fondant and gumpaste. As well as the fringe and stars around the sides.


Here is a close up of the fringe along the sides.


These cupcakes are topped with a buttercream swirl and then accented with chocolate boots, hats, horseshoes and fondant stars.

Get along little doggie.....it's your birthday!
Happy 1st Birthday Raegen!

Rodeo RoundUp School Fundraiser

Get Along Little Doggie!

This fun cake was a cake walk donation I made for the boys' school fundraiser, the first ever spring event the "Rodeo Roundup". The PTO is raising money this year to purchase new playground equipment for the elementary school, so I saw my chance to make a fun western cake and ran with it.

I took the cake up to the school around lunch today and later the PTO President called and asked if she could place my cake in the raffle rather than the cake walk (to avoid any arguing over who gets the cake! ;)

Either way, I had fun making the cake and I hope it brings a bit more money to the PTO for the kids' sake. Thanks for all the hard work and many volunteer hours you give PTO parents!
