Busy little bee!

After a super busy summer, and my first born starting school in the fall, I somehow forgot all about updating. Not that I haven't been ultra busy doing things .... let's see what we have here that I can share with you.


First off, in September, we had a birthday party for Emily. It was a very exciting tea party where five little girls each got their own cake, and drank out of real china. They all took great care in dressing up and using perfect princess manners.

Soon following in the fall, I was commissioned to come up with a larger painting that would cover two canvases. I was quite happy with the results.

Of course there were still plenty of Sweatersaurs making their appearance!


And this is only the beginning ...

Catch up!

So I have been slack... I think I have said this before. I really haven't been working on too much. I started doing a bit of part-time freelance video editing in my spare time, and planning for summer :) I have made a few cakes though through this family birthday season. Enjoy!!

This is a burger & fries cake that I made for a fundraiser to be auctioned off!

This was James' birthday cake. He told us which characters he wanted us to make using gum paste and modeling chocolate. Then last minute, literally, he told us what he wanted the cake to look like. That brown blob is supposed to be a volcano ... but the characters did rock!

These 2 were for a little girls' first birthday, inspired by a favorite toy tea set.
We even made a matching mini cake just for the birthday girl.

And this here was Anna`s birthday cake! Her favorite stuffed toy is a frog she calls Bob.

So this was her Bob the Frog cake, he is made out of Rice Crispy Treats.

Pokey Me

So I have been anything but "active" lately. I can't help it I get distracted, my mind wanders and I get swept up into other things, or my computer gets hijacked by my husband. Anyway, I did make another cake which turned out FANTASTIC! Well I will upload that fast before this first snowstorm takes out my Internet. Satellite internet doesn't do well with any precipitation, degrading cloud, solar flares ...

So this was a "Princess" cake done in November for a 6 year old. Apparently it was a big success. All edible except the tiara at the top. (Marshmallow fondant, marzipam, and homemade hard candy, with silver dregees).

Thanksgiving cake

Poundcake with buttercream and marshmallow fondant.
Leaves, acorns, and twigs made with gumpaste.

Happy Birthday!

Tomorrow is Emily's birthday.

I made her a Tinkerbelle cake - okay well

I made a cake and put a Tinkerbelle doll on the top.

Not bad for my first try with fondant.

Learned a few things to try differently next time.
