50th Wedding Anniversary

More "firsts" on this cake: edible image, calla lillies, and the lettering...a ton of fun and what made it even better is that this cake was for a dear friend of mine. It's her Grandparents 50th Wedding Anniverary this weekend and she's throwing one heck of a party so getting to see her reaction to something so meaningful to her was the greatest joy of my day.

I finally got the chance to make a Turkey Cake for the potluck we have annually at work and it was a huge hit. Body was carved from two 9x9x4 square butter cakes, drumsticks and wings are rice crispy treats. Someone actually had to poke the cake to find out if it was real or not...though they stuck their finger in the cake it was a huge compliment!

Hannah Montana Guitar

By far this has been the best and funniest cake I've turned out (expect my sisters babyshower cake)! I've always wanted to do a gutiar and I pulled out all the stops for this one; it was supposed to only be big enough to feed 10 little girls but I had to make it somewhat actual size so naturally it feed about 50 people! Totally worth it though, the cake was apparently polished off in 20 seconds flat and the little kids were even fighting over the strings!!

Warren's Football

This (so sweet) was a request from work for someone's manager on Boss's Day; he coached College Football at one time. It's Yellow Cake with Fudge Filling and covered in Chocolate Fondant. Everything in edible.
Looking at the photo, I really wish I would have re-done the "Warren" a third time....cutting cursive with an exacto knife is not the best method to doing lettering.

And so it begins............

I've finally decided to make a blog.spot dedicated to my cakes. I've procrastinated this long because I honeslty didn't think my cakes were good enough to deserve a site of their own, I still don't entirely but with more people asking me to do cakes for their special occasions I thought it was time.
This is just the begining stages so please bare with me over the next few weeks until I get this thing configured the way I'd like it.

Happy Caking!
