Owen's drum cake, Girly Skull cake, Reunion dessert buffet

Here's what I have been up to this week! Thank goodness for Rodney, the dessert buffet took up the bulk of my time!

Owen's drum cake:

All fondant, strawberry cake. Good thing I have a hubby whose a drummer, this cake would have been too hard to do on my own!



Girly Skull Cake:

This was our girly take on a cake we made almost a year ago! Love the way it turned out! The skull is RKT's covered in chocolate and fondant and the rest of the cake is buttercream!



Lastly, here are a few pictures of the dessert/candy buffet I did for my 10 year high school reunion. (which I also happened to organize...never again!) I'm happy with the way the table turned out!



On the buffet were:

chocolate cheesecake cups
oreo truffles
chocolate chip cookie dough brownies with chocolate ganache
red and blue jelly bellies
twizzlers
vanilla and chocolate cupcakes
lemon and strawberry cake pops
mini pumpkin pies
chocolate dipped pretzel rods







Exhausting week! Glad it's over!

Purple bridal shower, polka dots, pink and black duo birthdays!

Gonna have to make this fast! Lots of stuff to do today around here!








I had two other orders that I managed to NOT photograph this week! Must be that pregnancy brain or something! By the way, for any of you that are curious, we are having a boy and a girl! We are thrilled!

Fancy Nancy and Brody the Dog

These cakes were made for some special twins! Bailey and Morgan turned 5 this past weekend and each got to choose their theme this year! Bailey choose Fancy Nancy and Morgan choose Brody the Dog from a Kohl's (Kids Who Care) Book.

Bailey's cake:







Everything on Bailey's cake was edible, except for the giant feather on top :) I absolutely loved making and decorating this cake. It turned out JUST as I imagined it!

Morgan's cake:





Everything on Morgan's cake was edible as well! The head, arms and legs were made from RKT's and I just love how dead on it is! Rodney worked primarily on this cake, while I did Bailey's cake. Yay team!



Happy Birthday to Bailey and Morgan! We love you guys!

Tennis, Tinkerbell and Naval cakes

Super fast picture post this evening...not feeling well and heading to bed early!

Tennis themed cake (rackets and balls are fondant)



TInkerbell cake: (all fondant except Tink)



Naval cake: (buttercream cake with fondant flag and details)

Yo Gabba Gabba

This cake was made for a friend's daughter's 3rd birthday!

DJ Lance's boom box is made from styrofoam covered in fondant and painted with silver luster dust. The bottom is all cake - 3 layers, two vanilla and one chocolate. Each side is decorated to resemble each character's "land" in the show.




The only side I don't have a picture of is "toodee's." You get the point though!







Finished, with the characters!



YOOOOOOOOOO Gabba Gabba!

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!

Quick post, Pink and black striped cake, Hello Kitty Cake

I don't have a ton of time right this second but I promise I will edit this post soon with a more detailed description of the cakes. For now, enjoy some pictures!
