One new cake this weekend and such a fun one too! The cake was for a surprise 40th birthday party for a man who loves his fishing.  The cake combined the idea of fishing and also revealed the fact that a surprise trip to Mexico was a birthday present.  The chocolate chip cake features fondant decorations, including a somebrero, margarita, maracas, swordfish, Mexican flag, and other beachy elements. The "sand" and purple "coral dust" are all edible - sugar and crushed graham crackers.  The cake itself was airbrushed dark blue over lighter blue fondant to give it that oceany look.  Happy Birthday!

Happy Early Thanksgiving - check back next weekend for some festive goodies!

Hi everyone, lots of new pictures to check out this weekend. The first was a Penn State 21st birthday...and the birthday boy's drink of choice is Yuengling. I am now very familiar with the tiny writing on a Yuengling label! The cooler cake is chocolate chip and buttercream with rock candy "ice." Happy Birthday!

I also made a first birthday cake. I realized I have made the baby shower cake and now the first birthday one! The baby's middle name is Rose and the design incorporates roses and Celtic-knot like stenciling. The stenciling is a new technique, which I picked up after watching TLC's "Cake Boss"! It is covered with the knot design and border and topped with a matching sparkly butterfly. The cake is white with buttercream.

Also check out the baby shower cake inspired by a PB kids bedding theme.  The cake is carrot and white and buttercream.  There are lots of little stars to "find" on the cake as well as 3 teddy bears. 

Finally, we had two cookie favor orders. The first was various ribbons to represent cancer awareness. The favors were for a Relay for Life function.  The other cookie order was for a baby shower, and is a chocolate brown-green-blue theme.  Consider ordering favors, which come in a clear treat bag, for Christmas this year!

Check back next week!
