Princess Dora!

Super cute Dora cake! Vanilla cake, vanilla buttercream, fondant details and chocolate "rocks."

The Dora Figure is real!

Love the colors on 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!

Murphy Light

Thanks to the magic of Facebook, this cake was created for one my high school classmates' birthday!

This was a pretty fun cake to make. Didn't Rodney do a great job of carving out the right shape? That guy is definitely becoming a big part of this whole thing. Aside from carving the cake, he also made me a template to look at of the word "Murphy" in the Coors font. I free handed it as best I could and I'm pretty happy with the results!

Jordan's cake

This first cake of the weekend was made for one of the cutest girls I know!

She's a big Jonas brother's fan so I combined the design of a two tiered cake that she and her momma liked and came up with this! It's all chocolate with vanilla buttercream and fondant decorations. I printed the picture off myself and attached it to a piece of foam board for the final touch!

Without!




I'll post the picture of our other major project this weekend as soon as it's picked up tomorrow! Wouldn't want to give it away just yet!

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)

Stacked:





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!!

Busy, Busy!

Quick picture post of things we've done lately!
