Our 2 Latest Cakes

It's been a while since we've posted, but we have two new cakes to show you.

First, we had a request for a birthday cake for a little girl who wanted surfboard and a monkey both incorporated onto her cake!  So what's better than a surfing monkey?!

Second, a friend from my church is having a baby (due exactly 3 weeks before I am) and we hosted her first baby shower for her this past Sunday.  The bedding for the nursery is sooo cute, but very intricate.  Since I was doing this cake all by my lonesome, due to Heather's engagement lunch with their families, I had to simplify it just a bit!  Yes, if you didn't know Heather is engaged and I'm super excited for her... though her 1 1/2 hr commute to do cakes isnt' going to be much fun for her!!  haha, jk!  Anyways, to see the bedding go here.

Safari Baby Shower

Heather's coworker is having a baby and of course we did the cake for the school shower!  Her bedding is so cute with a safari theme.  We found a picture of the rug that belongs to the set and imitated it on the cake, changing a thing here and there!  Heather gets credit for everything but the border and smoothing?!  haha, I sat and stared much of the time, but I find it so cool to see her create animals out of icing!

Sweet 16

Our first creations for a sweet 16 party finally happened!  We made a large cupcake and 4 dozen cookies with the birthday girl's initials on them!  The colors were hot pink, turquoise, and lime green... which looked so cute together!  We went with royal icing on these cookies b/c we like the look and it was def. some trial and error for us, but they turned out rather cute, or so I think!

Spiderman Cupcakes

Last week we got to make some Spiderman cupcakes which was a first for us!  Heather gets all credit for the faces and buildings and then we both worked on the other cupcakes.

Princess Cake

A couple weeks ago we made a Pincess cake for a little girl turning 2 who is very much into all of the Disney princesses.  We all know I don't do the real artsy stuff and Heather didn't think she could do people with icing so we went with the Disney castle but in the colors of the party - green and pink.  I would wait until we were almost done to look in my bag of goodies a fellow teacher gave me last year to find I had a set of Disney princess sprinkles!  We were able to use the crowns on the sides and then pearl balls on the tops of the castle peaks.  There was a blue shoe and we were going to put just one outside the castle door, but it didn't really look like a shoe, so we didn't go that route.

Here is what we came up with.  We do give William credit for the writing!



Turtle, Turtle

A few weeks ago we got to create 5 dozen cupcakes for a baby shower based on the crib bedding.  The bedding is mostly blue and browns with turtles on it.  We imitated a few of the turtles and changed up some colors to get what you see below!!

Spider Webs Cookies

I made these cookies for a Halloween party this past weekend.  I found them online and wanted to try more cookies with royal icing... I really liked how they turned out!
