Pink, Purple, Bows, and Bibs

A very good friend asked me to bake her baby shower cake, so of course I said YES! Once again I was given free reign on the design. Knowing the babies room would be purple butterflies, I decided against the normal baby shower themed cakes and decided to match the nursery. The cake created was a purple butterfly which would match the nursery theme to the tee!

UPDATE: Baby Layla is the cutest baby ever!!!!

Calling All Divas!

I was asked to make a birthday cake for a co-workers daughter. Theme: Girly, Diva, and Purple! HELLO artistic control! My first thought was a purple zebra cake! Next came the details....bows, purses, and cosmetics!

A Pirates Life for Me!

I LOVE receiving messges saying "please contact _____ because they would like to order a cake from you". Oh how those messages make my day! I received a message from my husbands aunt telling me that a friend of hers needed me to call her about a cake and cake pops for a 5th birthday. The best part was the theme....girly, hot pink pirate skulls! Who would have thought!!! Pirate Skull cake pops with hot pink bandanas and hearts were made for the little girls classmates and then a pink pirate skull cake was made for the party.

Pikachu

A fabulous mom asked me to bake her son's birthday cake. She gave him free reign on the design, so he came to me and asked for a Pikachu birthday cake WITH Pikachu on top. He also wanted strawberry so we settled for pound cake with strawberry buttercream....YUMMM!!!!! The birthday party was held at the bowling alley on base and of course mom went all out with decorating the room to go with the cake theme! Nothing is better than a bunch of 8 and 9 year old kids loving the cake, and the parents too!

Black History Month

February is dedicated to celebrating Black History Month. At the school where I teach, we celebrated daily by learning about many of the people that have impacted us. At the end of the month, we celebrated with a luncheon. I was honored to be asked to bake the cake for the occasion. My brain starting racing with all of the different things I could do. I chose to create a stack of three books since books are the key to learning about our history.
