Pepperoni and Cheese Pizza

So I’ve gotten into a groove and have been baking steadily which is always good for business. Had fun making this pizza cake, as simple as it might seem I had to think outside the box to make sure everything was edible and still came as close as possible to resembling a pizza. Lots of fun!

I’ve started teaching the Wilton Method of Cake Decorating and actually enjoying it. I never thought of myself as the teaching type, even when friends suggested it as a career. I guess it’s because I love decorating cakes so it makes it easy for me to do. I’ve been meeting a bunch of great people with the desire to learn and can’t stop giving them whatever knowledge I have. It’s the most refreshing feeling.

I just spent a few day making these Muppets cake toppers. Love them! Wish I could have kept them but sadly I had to give them up. Making these reminds me of why I started doing these specialty cakes. I feel like I’m five again and molding with play-dough. It gets my creative juices flowing.

November Cakes

So this week was crazy busy. From Sesame street to pregnant cake toppers. Had lots of fun making the Sesame Street cake, I love all those vibrant colors. I had a lot of toppers this week also. I created an Elmo for the sesame street cake, Fashionista pregnant lady for a baby shower cake, duckies for another baby shower cake and the new starwberry shortcake from the Hub. I love being this busy so keep the orders coming

Homage to The Black Pearl

Labor Day weekend is almost over, and relax, no not I. I labored
Had a fun-filled weekend making cakes. From Hello Kitty, to Minnie mouse and “The Black Pearl” for a sweet sixteen which was celebrated at Medieval Times.
There’s so much detail that goes into a ship that I was a bit overwhelmed and of course the humidity decided to stick around so even with the AC going the cake just wanted to shine, shine shine! Anyway, I think for my first pirate ship, I did a pretty good job.

So Hurricane Irene came into town this past weekend and I had two cancellations at the last minute, which isn’t good for business as the cakes are just sitting in my fridge staring me down!
Anyway, this fishing boat made it just in time and floated it’s way to the party. It’s my first boat so I was just going by pictures so not as detailed as I would’ve liked. Maybe I should try fishing one day and I’d getter a better feel for it. Anyone want to take me?

Sesame Street Babies

This weekend I worked on a Sesame Street cake. I was reminded on how much fun creating these little monsters can be. I’ve always loved Cookie Monster but my fondness for yellow birdies always takes the cake

Bubble Guppies Cake

It’s been a while, but summer seems to always slow things down. Maybe is the heat, or people taking their vacations. Anyway, this week I worked on the Bubble Guppies cake and after it was all done, all I could think about is the beach. Maybe that’s where I should spend the rest of my day
