My little princess birthday



Of course I always plan extra special cakes for my kids birthday's. This year my daughter requested a princess party. So, of course we needed an edible purple castle to go along with the party. All started out well .. but this cake turned out to be a nightmare. Long story short .. it ended up falling in on the bottom layer, so our 3 story castle became 2 & it wasn't anywhere near perfect ... but it still tasted yummy & the girls still thought it was amazing - especially my little birthday princess (so that's all that really matters). Lesson learned ... don't place the cake (without supports) temporarily when it's hot - it will get stuck. . .

Oh and the super cute princess dress cupcake where a must as well! They were the perfect size for the girls.







1st, 5th & 90th Birthday


I've had lots of cake jobs lately - here are some of the birthday's that I've done recently.

A 1st birthday for a very special boy - my youngest nephew, Ty.

A 5th birthday. It was a Wild Kratt's theme (a TV show), it's my son's favorite TV show, so he helped me design the cake. It was a huge success!

A 90th birthday party. The guest of honor was thrilled to have a cake in her honor. I was glad that it held up, it was pretty much the hottest day of the year.


And I made LOTS of red velvet cupcakes for a graduation party. Of course I had to sample one, since it is my favorite with yummy cream cheese frosting!


40th Anniversary

My sister had to make a cake for a 40th anniversary party - so she baked it & I decorated it. I should do all my cakes like that - it makes it so much easier :).
It turned out really nice!
