1st Birthday-Sports Theme Style

A friend of mine recently celebrated her baby boys 1st birthday.
I made this cake to match the invitation that was sent out for the little guys 1st birthday.
He had a sports themed party.
The cake was chocolate.
Buttercream icing and fondant decorations.

Brothers Boston Terrier Birthday Cake

My baby brother turned 25 in April.

What kind of sister would I be if I didn't make my own brother a birthday cake?

He has always had a love for Boston Terriers and he just recently got a new Boston terrier pup that he is madly in love with. It was pretty obvious what his cake design should be.

This cake was a ton of fun to design and make.

The top cake is yellow the bottom is chocolate.

The dog is made out of RK's and Fondant, hand painted with food coloring gel.

The cake is iced in homemade buttercream, the circles are fondant.

Sculpting the dog was probably the hardest part. It was creepy looking until the very end. I wanted to share a picture though, but I put it after the actual cake pictures, because...well look at it! yikes!
I do not usually share pictures of the person I made a cake for...but he's my brother and again I ask... What kind of sister would I be if I didn't harass my brother on occasion?

Plus, I loved the candles and I didn't get a picture of the cake with candles on it before my brother sat down ;-)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY BROTHER!!!

...In John Deere Green

I live in the South and I knew it was only a matter of time before a request was made for a John Deere cake. It wasn't hard to find inspiration, I only had to open our cabinets and pull out my husbands favorite "John Deere" coffee mug.

I free handed the design onto fondant and carefully cut it out before placing it on the buttercream cake.

Peanuts!!!!

Ohhh how I LOVED designing and bringing this cake to "life". It was a blast! I love snoopy! I tried to make him as "cartoonish" as possible. He is RK's and fondant. The cake was yellow with buttercream and the stripes were fondant.
This was for a peanuts themed baby shower.

The yellow square guy again...

This was another birthday cake request for spongebob. Ironically, for another little girl named Haylee (just spelled differently).

Again, spongebob was RK's covered in fondant, seaweed and all other decorations were fondant. Cake was chocolate with buttercream icing.

Fall Birthday

Trying to get caught up!

This was the cake I made for my mothers surprise birthday party.

She was a fall baby. I thought it was fitting to do a fall themed cake.

The leaves were fondant with gold luster dust.

The cake was carrot cake/creamcheese icing, yellow cake/buttercream, chocolate cake/buttercream.

A Quick Explanation

I feel the need to give a quick explanation as to why I have not been posting lately.
I have been getting numerous emails asking about my whereabouts? First, thank you! I love that so many people enjoy what I do.
Second, Yes, I'm still making cakes!

My husband and I just sold our house and (if you can imagine) my life has been very hectic over the past couple of months.

I do have, many, photos to upload and I promise I will get those posted asap!

Hang in there with me :) I'll have this blog back up and running in no time!

Again, thank you for your support!!!!
