Topsy Turvy Funky Cake

This cake was made for a 13th birthday and I had a lot of fun making it. Originally it was suppose to be a Justin Beiber slab cake but the cake topper my customer ordered off Ebay did not arrive in time. I suggested changing the design of the cake and after looking at the various cakes I had made she gave be complete control over the design and look of the cake.

I wanted the cake to be fun and funky so of course I had to go with a topsy turvy cake.

I think it turned out great :) I was so excited to show the cake to my customer and I was acting just like a little kid right before Christmas. I kept checking the door in anticipation of her arrival. lol My husband had to tell me to sit down and relax.

Here are a few more views of the cake:

Shark theme birthday party

What does my son say he wants to be when he grows up? A marine biologist. So how fitting is it that he choose a pool party and a shark cake for his birthday. And not just any shark cake, he tells me it has to be jumping out of the water with his mouth open and have a person inside his mouth.

The cake:

 Shark massacre (red velvet cake)

Movie night birthday party with bag of popcorn cake

Made this cake for my 11 year old's birthday. My husband and I took 6 awesome boys to the movie. Filled them up with pizza, cake, popcorn, pop, candy, played some video games and send them home with a treat bag.

It was a huge success and a lot of fun to listen to the boys talking and being silly in the van.

I love spring!

I love spring! I love tulips, daffodils, lilies, and hydrangeas. I love when all the snow melts, when the grass turns green and the flowers start to open. I love listening to the birds chirp and the warmer days. Spring is my favorite season of the year. Today is a gorgeous spring day and to celebrate I am sharing my Garden Fairy cake with all of you.

My garden fairy with her pretty pearlized wings and a flower in her hair, sitting on some leaves among the daisies and mushrooms, while watching the caterpillars, snails, ladybugs, butterflies and bees.

I hope you like it as much as I do.

Tea for Two (or ten)

Happy Mother's Day to everyone. Whether you have a mom, are a mom, a mom to be, trying to be a mom, the mom of a fur baby, or just love cake. Let's celebrate with this yummy vanilla teapot cake.

I hope you enjoy this as much as my family did.
