It's A Boy

 Here is a gift box shower cake I created for a baby shower.  Complete with a little blue pacifier.

 Simple and sweet.

Expanding creative horizons from inside to outside with a homemade outdoor chalkboard.

 Calling all Golf Lovers

This was a fun birthday cake I created yesterday.  When I put it all together it still felt as though something was missing...

 

 

Thankfully, my husband, the "occasional golfer" suggested a couple sand traps.  That seemed to do the trick.

Tractor Birthday Cake

I was asked by a friend of mine if I could create a tractor birthday cake for her 3 year old son.  This was something I had never done before, but was so excited to take on the challenge and I am so glad I did!

The birthday boy loved it!!

In the creative process of designing this cake I decided to have a little fun and posted different pieces of the cake as I was putting it together to see if some of my friends and family could guess what I was making.

Here was the first photo clue. 

Here are some of the guesses that were made:

Cookie Monster with big cheeks

Tractor

Elmo

Train

Monster Truck

Here was photo clue #2.

 The guesses that came back included:

Monster Truck

House

Guitar

Tug Boat

Thor's Sledge Hammer from the movie

Cross Walk Sign

Here is the final product.

This was such a fun cake to make!

First Communion Cake

 

 This was a fun cake to make that captured both the symbolism of such an important occasion as well as some fun colors and accents.

This was a vanilla cake, filled with vanilla mouse and fresh strawberries, topped with buttercream frosting and fondant!

Happy Mother's Day

I had the honor of making a bit of chocolate heaven this week in honor of Mother's Day.

**Thank you for the wonderful photos Mrs. Kempf:) 

Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate...  The best part of these was the chocolate ganache filling! Mmmm.

 

 

A Musical Birthday

This was a special music inspired birthday cake.  I incorporated the piano keys in bright colors along with musical notes for our little friend James.  He and his family enjoyed requesting their favorite colored keys to eat.
