I have decided to change my blog into more of an actual blog. So I am going to tell you about what I am working on today. I am baking 3 cakes today to decorate for tomorrow and Saturday.

One of them is for a friend’s 5 year old. it is going to be a western theme. I just colored the fondant for the bottom - denim blue. I am about to start a second batch of fondant for that cake and my daughters’ cakes. Gonna go microwave it.

I decided to take pictures of the fondant process, I will post them when we get back from vacation!

It has been a long time!

Fun stripes deck out a cake that is accompanied by a shoe made to look like the birthday girl’s favorite pair.

Happy Birthday Jennifer!

The keepsake shoe could also be made to look like a bridal shoe for a shower.

Elmo’s World Cake

Martha — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 22:11:45 +0000

Sesame Street has so many beloved characters for preschool children, even older children still love them! I love to help plan cakes in themes like this, however it is important to remember that Elmo and all his good buddies from Sesame Street are copyrighted characters.

This is one way to have your Elmo cake and eat it too! I made a cake decorated in the hand drawn style that makes Elmo’s World so fun for children and added a card purchased at the store, by the client- in this case me, as the cake was for my daughter. The card was protected on the bottom edges so it could be preserved form buttercream frosting and saved for a scrapbook. Another way to do this cake would have been to purchase an Elmo toy to place on top as I did for a Care Bear cake.

Shh, Baby’s Sleeping

Martha — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 22:30:33 +0000

A peaceful baby with red curls sleeps on top of a fun chocolaty cake covered in dots. The gerber daisy and bow are made of gumpaste. Designed with the colors from a napkin, this cake is made in the style often called Mad Hatter, because the tiers are shaped to look a bit like the hat of Alice’s friend.

What a fun way to welcome little Danika Jane into the world!

Congratulations Jason and Jessica!

Flippin’ out for a Luau

Everything is edible and delicious!

Double Happiness

A branch of fondant cherry blossoms grace the side of a pure white wedding cake.

Topped with the traditional Chinese wedding symbol for double happiness, the cake itself becomes a wish for the couple to enjoy a lifetime of marital bliss.

Congratulations Crystal and Noble.
