...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!!!!

choochoo cake

I loved making this cake and cupcakes.

The little boy was turning two and I think a train themed birthday party is so adorable!

Can I Play Catch Up Real Quick??

...because this post is going to be jam packed with pictures.

I have been bad at picture uploading lately!! To be honest, I lost the digital card that held these pictures and (after looking through over 10 cards and 800 pictures) that is why I'm just now getting around to uploading these. Here are some cakes and cupcakes that I've made over the past month (okay maybe longer than that, ha!):

What do you get a guy that loves the Atlanta Falcons and Clemson Tigers??...cupcakes!! I loved making these cupcakes, even if I'm a Gamecocks fan! Is that bad?? ;)

SPONGEBOB!!! I knew I would eventually get a request for the square guy! Everything was edible. Spongebob was made out of rk's and fondant. The sea weed and Gary (the snail) were made out of fondant and gum paste. The cake was vanilla with butter cream frosting.










This cake was made for a Sweet Sixteen!! My first Sweet Sixteen birthday cake!! This young man enjoys many things! So what better cake to make than a cake out of his favorite things...can you see them all?? His first car (a blue jeep), the beach, guitars, rock n roll music, surfing, tie-dye, and texting on a cell phone (but of course! what teenager doesn't love to text??). This cake took a lot of creative juices, with the help of his mom and many pictures, I think we captured the spirit of this sixteen year old!











Two Times the Fun...take two! This was the cake I made for the first set of twin girls. Their favorite colors are purple and pink. They were getting purple and pink Vera Bradley purses for their birthday. I tried my best to hand paint a similar Vera pattern. I also have to say, I LOVE these girls names!!! The purse and gift were made out of rk's and fondant.

Fifty and Fabulous!! I made this cake to help celebrate a surprise birthday party for a obviously fabulous, fifty year old! The cake party colors were black, red and yellow.

Two kids, two cakes, two different ages...one party!! These cakes were made for a brother and sister that share a very close birthday. The little boy turned 3 and the little girl turned 1. The small purple cake was made for the "smash" cake, with cupcakes to match. The 3 year olds cake was a lot of fun to create!
