Pink and Purple flower Cake

This was the goal.......



....and this was our result!!!

So...here is the cake that I made for my daughter's 10th birthday!

So not what I had planned....I must learn to leave myself more time to do the actual decorating!!!!

I guess it's not that awful, it's just not what we imagined!! Fondant is not my friend. The end.

Merry Go Round Cake

This is the cake that I made for my baby's first birthday!! The idea was a lot better than it was actually executed...but he was one. He didn't care!!

There are definitely things I would have done differently. But, I think it turned out okay!

Spider Web Cupcakes

I know I'm a little late. But, better late than never!!!

My sister made these cute cupcakes for our family Halloween Party.

I'm quite certain that she found them on a very cute and creative website. I just can't remember which one that might be. :)

She found, on that cute website, a template to use to make the webs. She put the template under wax paper and piped white chocolate onto the template. Waited for it to harden and voila!!

She did the same with the pumpkins. Chocolate, harden, voila!!

She made some amazing chocolate cupcakes and frosted them with cream cheese frosting and put the webs and pumpkins on top.

They turned out so cute.

You could also do.....spiders, chocolate frosting, candy corn....etc. They turned out darling!! Thanks for the cute idea, Mer.

Elephant Birthday Cake

This cute elephant birthday cake was sent to me by my cute friend Jimi. She made it for her son's birthday! I stinkin' love this cake! I never would have thought to make an elephant head. You are so creative, Jimi!!!

Oh The Yummiest Cake I've Ever Made

Let me start off by saying this. I <3 peanut butter and chocolate. It's not something that I can control. It's something that has plagued me since childhood. I can't really explain it, it just is. It makes me weak in the knees, it makes me cry a little bit and I have zero self control.

My sister found this cake over on Picky Palate. So, what else could I do? I HAD to try it. I mean, come on. I had to.

How delish does that look? Not only did it look good, it tasted even better. How often does that happen??? It was actually BETTER than I had hoped.

Cream cheese, chocolate cake, peanut butter and chocolate. Does it get any better?

I ate myself into a peanut butter and chocolate induced coma.

It was swell.

Happy Halloween

Don't look too close, because it isn't great!!! But, this is the only Halloween cake I've ever made!!!

I made it for a mother/daughter activity last year and they had a cake walk...


I just baked two bundt cakes (so you get the ridges on the sides) and turned one upside down and frosted. Used a cupcake turned upside down for the stem. I would definitely do some things different next time....but, hey!!!! It's the thought that counts, right??

Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street

These awesome cakes are from my cute friend Amanda. Once again, my Elmo cake put to shame! Seriously, how cute are these? I love the cookies in Cookie monster's mouth.


I am quite certain that she made the cute Cookie Monster and Elmo cakes for her son's 2nd birthday. What a talent. Click to enlarge to see the cute detail on them. Thanks Amanda for the pics.

For all you Baseball Lovers out there....

....this one's for you!!!


I made this one for my son's 2nd birthday! He had this cute little Gap baseball cap that he wore EVERYWHERE!!! So, I decided to make it into a cake. Not until I finished the hat portion did I realize I had about enough cake to feel him, alone. So. Quickly I made up some cupcakes and decided to use them in the cake theme. I just frosted them white and used red gel frosting and made "baseball stitching". I wasn't sure at first how it would turn out, but I was glad I did. It made the cake perfect! I really love the way this one turned out.

side note. To get that rich blue color I used about 14 cups of blue dye. Every one's mouths turned blue. It was quite amusing to watch. hehe

Grandma Camp Castle

This cute kid friendly cake was sent to me by my friend Andy's mom, Denise. She got the idea from Family Fun magazine. She decided to use it for her annual "Grandma Camp".


She had all the grand kids help her and they had a ball!!! Thanks for the cute picture and idea. ( I love the idea of grandma camp!! hint hint)

FuN fLoWeR cAkE

This cute flower cake was sent to me by my friend Ashley! She made it for her daughter's first birthday!


Round cake frosted in pink and pink zingers. Mini chocolate chips in the center. She also said that her friend frosted it in yellow and used yellow zingers and regular chocolate chips and it looked like a sunflower!!! How darling. Thanks Ashley for the cute cake!!!

Bumblee Transformer Cake

Melinda made this very cool Bumblebee Transformer cake for her son's birthday!

Right now, I'm thinking I'm in trouble!!!! Cole is looking at this going- car, car, car.

I've never attempted a car cake, I just may have to, now!!!


For all of you transformer fans, this one's for you!! Thanks Melinda!

Don't Swim in The Water!!!!

Thanks Melinda for this cool Shark Cake! It is kind of creepy looking, in a cool way!


I love it!

Flip Flop Cake

My sister made this cake for her daughters 1st birthday! Yay Zoe!!

This is the perfect summer birthday cake! You could do tons of different stuff with this to make it for a girl or a boy!

She made 2 9x13 cakes and made a pattern to cut the cakes out. Just frost in cute bright colors and she used twizzlers for the straps. I have also seen it done with fondant and it doesn't stay upright as well! I definitely like the twizzler idea! So....



Cute, right!?! Graham cracker crumbs for the sand (much better than my Golden Oreo's attempt at sand :) )

Thanks Anna, for the cute cake!!

Hannah Montana Birthday Cake

Check out this ca-ute Hannah Motana guitar cake! Melinda made this cute cake for her daughter's birthday!!

Guitar cake mold and licorice go a long way here!! Any "tween" girl would love this cake!!!

Thanks Melinda, my daughter is so jealous!!!

Luau Birthday Cake

I made this cake for our friend Julie's birthday!! We were invited to a luau surprise birthday party for her. Of course I had to bring the cake....It took me about 25 seconds to put this together (that's all the time I had!! :) ) So, don't judge. You get the idea.


Two round cakes frosted in white. Golden oreos crushed for the sand, blue sprinkles for the water. Flower leis for the edging!! Plastic palm tree and drink umbrellas courtesy of PartyLand!! Go me.
