Fast Fire hat!



This post is going to be a quick one!

This was made for some very good friends of ours. They are celebrating an important birthday (father, grandfather, great grand father) of a former Dallas fireman! Vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream and fondant details (and covering!)

SUPER proud of this one!

Sydney



This cake was made for the 8th birthday of a girl who loves volleyball!

I had to make this cake pretty quickly but I'm happy with the way it came out!

Happy Birthday to Sydney!

Ramona's book cake



This cake was made for my MIL, Ramona, for her 60th birthday!

My FIL decide to throw her a huge surprise party (or have us throw her, rather) and we took on the task of making her this giant cake! She has her master's in library sciences and works for the Hurst Public Library so the book theme seemed natural. I had been wanting to make her a book cake for a while and this was the perfect opportunity!

The books separately.


The Better Homes & Garden/Bible/open book are real (chocolate and lemon), the reference and Cake Doctor books are dummies. (open book is vanilla)

This cake turned out exactly how I wanted it to! It was LABOR intensive - we worked on it every day for a week, staying up until 4 am or later some nights but it was definitely worth it!!

Classic NES Controller for Matthew



This cake was made on the fly (we had been home an hour from snowboarding in Colorado when we started it) for my youngest brother Matthew, for his 15th birthday.

Last year I made him the Wii cake, this year he gets classic NES!

It's 1/4 sheet cut down (french vanilla) with strawberry buttercream covered in marshmallow fondant. Rodney did so much work on this cake (I had the flu the entire time we were in Colorado), if it hadn't been for his help, I don't believe there would have been a cake! All of the details are fondant, with the exception of the words, which were piped on by me!

Love this cake!
