Kaylee's cake... and Cade's

Wow, it's been a super long time since I've done any cakes! Actually.... I did make one in January as well. Kaylee just turned seven and wanted only a plain white cake with white frosting and flowers. Super easy! I tried to really fancy it up for her with pink roses and some beads around the bottom. She loved it. I wasn't able to get a picture before we stuck in the, um, "candles." Nothing can ruin a cake faster than not having the right candles. Dang!

This cake was for my cousin's daughter's boy friend. She was throwing him a suprise bowling party so I made a bowling cake. Pretty simple, but hopefully tasty.

Birthdays Galore!

Over the past month there have been several birthdays. I made two really pretty awesome cakes, if I do say so myself... and then a couple of really easy thrown together ones... that didn't require any baking on my part! hee hee! I couldn't resist adding those. Just to prove that sometimes, simpler is better!


The golf ball cake was for my friend's little boy. I was so excited about this cake. Three very easy colors and not a ton of baking. The grass took a while, of course, but it's so cool! The golf ball was pretty easy too, though smoothing a round ball is quite tricky. The little indentations also took a while, but again, so cool. The saddest thing about this cake: I put on all the finishing touches and was placing the ball on the grass, when it rolled off. AACK!!! Nightmare! I had to patch it up and it still looked ok, but not as amazing as before. Rats!!! So then I panicked and stuck a big dowel in the center to hold the ball on as this cake had to travel to Salt Lake City. It made the "4" sink into the center, but she just replaced it with a "4" candle and all was well. phew.

My little boy wanted a Kung Fu Panda cake. I looked everywhere and finally got the action figures at Walmart. I found this cake online and it was really quite easy, and super cool looking! I didn't get the exact same look because I have no airspray brush stuff, but it's good enough for us!

My husband isn't really crazy about cake, so we went with a family favorite... maple bars! Now THAT is a cool cake!

Easy, stress-free, inexpensive! Check out that smile!

Mom's cake is strawberries, whipped cream, and angel food cake. Very light and delicious. Though, it didn't hold up too well to all the candles.... ;)

Double Birthday

Last Saturday I had two birthday cakes to make, in between a baptism, and three birthday parties. It was a little crazy, but so fun to be making cakes again! I feel like it has been so long since I've been busy crazy making cake after cake. I have another one to make this weekend! :)

This first cake was for my son's best friend, Andrew. He was having an Indiana Jones party. His mom and I have decided to sit ourselves down and try to really recreate this scene... in downtown Shanghai. I just didn't have it in me this year. So I made a really lame, simple cake so that the really awesome part-the Lego set- would really stand out. I hope it tasted good!

The second cake is up on the list of my all time favorites! I just love using the grass tip! It is so fun. As I was putting the grass on the square cake, I decided that I would really love to try and make an Oscar the Grouch cake sometime... so anybody who wants one, let me know! This cake was for my cousin, Megan. She loves soccer and wanted a soccer ball cake. Hope you liked it Megan!

I was trying to get a close up of the grass. It really looks so cool!
