Keep calm and blog on

This business of getting a child to school every single day is rough stuff. Two days a week was manageable, now I feel like I'm just trying to get through each day to get to the weekend. It's like I'm a full on grown up now. I know what you are thinking. "You have three kids. You run a business. You are 30." I tell myself the same things each day but I guess it just felt very whimsical to me before. Now it's much more structured. We for sure have to have a real dinner each night (long gone are the days of cereal for dinner when we have a lot of cake orders that week) and I feel compelled to make sure she has a decent breakfast on most days. If I thought I spent most of my time in the kitchen before, it's like where I live now.

All of that to say...here are the things we've been working on lately!

Lego cake:

TCU cake:

Beachy Birthday Cake:

Busy busy busy! Here's what I totally did not get around to posting before the holidays! I'm sure an awesome blogger, huh?

Reese's Pieces, Barnyard Animal, Pig Smash, and Super Mario Brothers Cakes!

Not a lot of time to elaborate (I'm surprised I'm even getting this post in!) but here are the cakes from last week!

Reese's Pieces Cake:



Barnyard Animal Cake to go along with a petting zoo birthday!



Close up of some super cute critters!

close-ups:

Turtle Beach, Quilted baptism, stegosaurus, girly soccer cake!

These cakes were made this weekend!

Turtle Beach cake (super proud of this one!)

Two tiered red velvet cake with vanilla bc and fondant. Everything is edible and made from fondant except for the little sign on the top of the cake. LOVED this cake!



Quilted Baptism Cake:

This cake was fun to make - It's a strawberry cake with vanilla b/c and fondant! I used the quilted impression mat to do the sides and silver dragees for accents. (the cross is made from fondant)



Stegosaurus:

This cake was a bit of an experiment for us. We'd never done a cake like this, nor had I ever seen one. It's a chocolate cake (that I dyed red for effect) with chocolate icing and fondant. I like the way it came out but we definitely feel like there could be improvements.



Girly Soccer/Texas cake:

The request for this cake was soccer, Texas themed and girly. I'd seen a cake similar to this with more of a music theme and I used it as my basis. Everything on the cake is edible, except for the "17." I made the numbers out of fun foam. I really like the way this cake turned out, hopefully the birthday girl liked it too!
