Purple Haze

A 21st Birthday cake for a "diva." I LOVED making this cake.

Argggg!

A pirate cake for Sandra Dee's Birthday! WOO! And it was yummy!

A pea in a pod.

My messy kitchen during the process.

Baby Ava's cake.

Baby shower cake for a pink and brown themed shower. This was a mighty one. I started over twice, and spent more time on it than I thought I was going to. I need to get better with my layers, and a better method of DELIVERY!

I have every weekend in May and June lined up for cakes. HOW EXCITING. This weekend is a Pirate cake, and a baby shower cake for a BOY! :-)

Then next weekend a martini cake and doggie cookies!

Check back for more updates!!

Babyshowers are my forte!

This was made for a girl at work's babyshower. Welcoming baby Ava! (It looks like "Aval, but it's "AVA!") I hope to get more orders for this, because I have so many different ideas! It's adorable!!!

This was one of the gifts to her, handmade!

Her very own diaper cake. I think these things are to die

for, and there are so many different ways to make them!

A quickie..

Ok. First of all, I'm the worst blogger ever! I've been meaning to update, but with a broken laptop, a new place, and making cakes on the side after my FULL time job, I just don't have time for anything! EXCEPT MORE CAKES! :-) I've been a busy bee, and with graduation season coming up, I'll be camped out right next to the oven. Here is a very mini update on some of the things I've been cooking up lately.....

Sunflowers by Vincent Van Gogh

Completely hand painted. That's something.

Here are some jungle animal cupcakes that I made for a Safari themed babyshower in March.

Man. Something was up with my camera this day.

This picture does these little guys NO justice!

Just fun frosted

It looks like a cupcake bomb went off

in my kitchen. They were EVERYWHERE!

A camera cake for the photographer!

Wait a minute. I haven't thought about this until now but.. Adriane seems to be getting me most of my business. With her step-father's cake, Ella's Turtle Cake, and now this work of art. I was asked to make this cake for a man that was a photographer for The Capital Gazette for 28 years! I actually had a lot of fun with this cake. It was a lot of work! Lots of small details, and little things to pay close attention to. I ended up finishing the cake at 4am, and finally stepping away from it.. and hating it! The desk and the camera were made of cake. The lens of the camera I tried making out of cake, but that didn't work out so well. I then tried to make it just of fondant. Again, bad idea. I let it sit over night, came to work the next day, and beat myself up thinking about it for hours! Finally, I decided to use Styrofoam. Now before you freak out, many people that make big cakes that start becoming heavy in certain areas do use Styrofoam. When I heard this the first time I was like "Oh my. Never! Not my cakes!" Yeah well. That didn't last long. These things get heavy! It ended up working out perfectly! Exactly how I wanted it to look. AGAIN, my camera decided to continue it's dormant state of broken slumber. These are from Adriane's camera at the Federal House in Annapolis. Love that place!

I think I might be getting a little better at this! :-)

Ella Smella's Birthday!

This turtle had one hell of a drive! It was made here, and transported all the way to NY all in one piece. THANK GOD! I get so nervous when they travel outside of my kitchen. So, my camera bit the dust, and I couldn't take any photo's of this cake. I must say, great photography skills with the Blackberry Adriane! A++!

She smudged the writing, and now it looks silly. But the turtle is still uber cute!

He has a smiley face if you can't see.

I was going to make more of a real life type turtle, but that's no fun for someone just turning 4! So, I threw some fun colors and flowers in there too. Just something different and fun.
