A very special morning for one family today - a daughter who lives in California wanted to break the news to her mother that she was having her first baby - and the grandmother's thirteenth granchild - and she enlisted me to help! So, for number 13, I delivered a baker's dozen of 13 cupcakes to the grandmother's door. 8 boy themed cupcakes and 4 girl themed cupcakes - all baby cute and either chocolate or vanilla flavored - and one marble gender neutral cupcake for the new little one on the way made up the batch. The client called her mother as I rang the doorbell, and Surprise!!! I was so touched to be included, and congratulations to Megan, Ellen and the whole family!

Okay - the blog is back. Too many little tidbits to share not to! Check back here every few days for funny stories, cake details, and other information.
This blog entry was inspired by the zombie cake I created over the weekend. The birthday cake was a tower of chocolate cake, hot fudge filling, and strawberries and sculpted to look like brains, because we know zombies love brains. To round out the zombie theme were two gumpaste plaques cut out in some creepy staggering zombie silhouettes. While I was brainstorming and creating this cake, my mom and brother Dan chimed in with lots of good zombie expertise. So I consulted them in creating the "Top 10 Best Zombie Films of All Time:" 10. Resident Evil #1 (2002 with Milla Jovovitch and Michelle Rodriguez) 9. Return of the Living Dead (1985 - they're back from the grave & ready to party!) 8. Land of the Dead (2005 - we had a little George A. Romero marathon!) 7. Dead Snow (2009 - Nazi zombies) 6. Day of the Dead (1985 - another written and directed by Romero) 5. Zombi 2 (1979 - Italian) 4. Army of Darkness (1992 - zombies and time warp! yes!) 3. 28 Days Later (2002 - killer rage virus infects everyone in Britain in one month) 2. Night of the Living Dead (1968 - Romero, this time zombie-hood from radiation) and the #1 pick goes tooooooo..... 1. Dawn of the Dead (2004 - When zombies attack, take to the mall!) This was determined after a mini marathon of movies...would you agree with our list? Feel free to add a comment below!! Check back tomorrow for a very special blog. - A.M. |
