Artist's Birthday

For my daughter's 7th, I made an artist's pallet. She LOVES art. And with the wheat allergy I usually maker her a rice krispie treat "cake". (The paint brushes are real brushes).

Zebra Birthday Girl

I made this cake for a friend of mine. She loves Zebra print, and one of her favorite colors is Hot Pink. This was fun, but I'm glad it was a SMALL cake. Would have been boring after awhile.

Gianna's 2nd Birthday

So I was a little lazy this time around. She was excited of course anyways! And really didn't even know WHAT I was going to do until Daddy brought home the birthday balloon with flowers on it. So I went with it! (been under the weather lately too...so it's a big accomplishment for me).

When we weren't looking she decided to go "flower picking". LOL!

Farewell Friend

This was a gift for some dear friends that were moving away.

I had some fun with the cupcakes. The sprinkles on top made the writing more difficult :/ oh well.

Triple Baptism

A Friend of mine baptized all 3 of her boys on the same day. I had the honor of making the cake. The names are written in the finest tip available.

Lugosi

Donatello

Botticelli

And a few cupcakes for good measure.

Over the Hill

For my Uncle Kevin's 50th Birthday, my Aunt asked me to make an over the hill cake. I got this idea by browsing the internet to do the half grass/half dirt with a big "hill" in the center. But I gave it my own little twist with the slide. The Tombstone is made of rice cereal (so my daughter with "cake" allergies could eat it). The rocks are peanut m&ms and walnut pieces. The dirt mixture is cake crumbs and brown sugar (which in hindsight I should have left off all together). The little "Kevin" on the slide is one of my old "Little People" toys from when I was a kid. I used a sharpie to draw the glasses and goatee. This was super fun to make!

Rose Tea Cakes

I made these little rose tea cakes for my daughter's Little Flower's Tea. The symbol for their group is a rose (which represents their patron Saint Therese "The Little Flower"). The cake is colored pink but tastes like white. They are coated with a yummy donut like glaze. I was given a special pan of rose cakes one Christmas and this was the first opportunity I had to use it. I love how the doilies give them an elegant touch.

Music Birthday

I surprised another friend with a personal size birthday cake. She is a talented flute player so I did a musical theme. Oh, and some crazy cupcakes for the rest of us!

Graduation Cookie

So this is my first large cookie, made at the request of my sister-in-law. Pretty easy. This graduation head resembles another cake I made for my husband when he got his masters, but this one is made out of rice cereal treat.

Football Birthday

I surprised a friend of mine with a football cake on his 15th birthday. I just love my new grass tip. I tried to make the "R" in his name look like the R in Rawlings on a Classic Football.

Mother's Day Treat

I made a small Mother's Day "cake" with some left over Rice Krispie Treat. Just something small for fun. Yum!

Camo Cake #2

For a friend of our's 40th Birthday, they had a "Hunting for 40" party. So with a camo theme, I took it literally and made them hunt for "40". The inside was also camo colored but tasted like White Cake.

1st Communion

My daughter is allergic to Eggs, Wheat, and Milk, so I made her a "Rice Krispie Treat" Cake for her 1st communion.

Lady Bug Birthday

A made these lady bug cupcakes for a friend's daughter who turned 6. First time I've used the grass tip. The Ladybugs are Peanut butter M&Ms with black icing. The cake batter was also colored green (although chocolate cake would have been better so it would like like dirt under the grass).

Princess Birthday #2

My cousin's little girl had a princess birthday. The little castle cake was a mini cake mold. It looks like a sand castle. Oh well. The inside was pink too. The front wasn't very straight. Can you tell I drew a Tiara or was that just not necessary?

Spiderman Cupcakes

My son's 4th birthday fell on the same week we were moving into our new house. So I didn't have time to do anything too elaborate. But after much deliberation, he finally chose a spiderman theme. So I whipped together these cupcakes.
