Lady Bugs Are Slimy, Right???

So, here is my sorry attempt at a lady bug. It actually looks a little bit creepy. The smile reminds me of the Cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland. Poor little girl..... Oh well. It would have been cute without that. I just made 2 round cakes in a Pyrex bowl. Cut a crescent shape out of one and fit them together and frosted in red. Junior Mints made the dots and black toothpicks (colored with a sharpie!!) with gumdrops on top for the antennae and the creepy smile is done the same way, just pushed the toothpicks in all the way!! Enjoy.


Any more creepy, crawley, slimy cakes out there???????? Send 'em to me!

Snail cake and Fly cake

I would definitely categorize these cute cakes as "slithery and slimy". But HOW STINKIN' CUTE ARE THESE??? Seriously, it's hard to find cute, original fun cakes anymore! Everything's kind of a copy of a copy, if you know what I mean??!!


Thanks Stacy for letting me stalk you and track you down. These cakes are adorable!! There's many more where these came from....

Caterpiller Birthday Cake

So, here is my ONE slimy. slithery. creature cake!! I usually try to talk them into something that I "know how to make" or can figure out! This one took a little research and development, if you will. I ended up using two bundt cakes that I made. Cut them in half from side to side not top to bottom. Connecting them flat surface to flat surface and it made a curvy caterpillar! Frosting was a bit more tricky than I had bargained for, but it worked and it was a big hit!! I just used gum drops and tooth picks to make antenna. I don't actually know if caterpillars have antennae, but mine did!!!! So, sue me.

Turned out pretty cute, right?


The birthday boy. Crud, he is so little in this picture. My how time flies!! Enjoy.

New Cake Requests

Okay, I'm putting another shout out for cakes! This time I want things that wiggle, squirm and slither!! Give me all of your bug, snake, creepy crawly cakes!! I have so many cakes in the wings, but thought this would be a fun spring/summer (oh please come summer!!) category to try!

This cute lady bug birthday cake was sent to me by my cute friend Jimi. They made it for their niece for her birthday! While they were camping nonetheless! Talent comin' out their ears!!


Two round cakes one cut to fit the other. Frost and decorate with mini oreos for dots!! This one turned out cute. Makes me think twice about posting my ladybug.....

M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E

Are you singing the theme song to the "mickey mouse club"? I am!! This cake (cookie) is so dang cute!! Melinda made this for a birthday. It's actually a big chocolate chip cookie (I think, right?) Cut to the shape of Mickey, which is a pretty basic shape. Decorated with frosting, star tip with black frosting and then outlined in black frosting.



Can you say YUMMY!!!

And these little gems for the guests....




I believe these were made from a cupcake mold, right? Then decorated in true Mickey fashion! What a cute birthday party, I'm sure!

Underwater Topsy Turvy Cake

This cute "Under the Sea" topsy turvy cake is from Melinda. Wow! This is way beyond my level of expertise! She totally rocked this cake. If I remember correctly she covered it in blue fondant and used colored gum paste to make the starfish and turtles and other sea creatures. What an adorable first birthday cake. Even a "mini" version for the birthday boy! Thanks Melinda!! This one is a keeper!
