For my son's first birthday I choose a Sock Monkey theme. I designed his smash cake to match the invitation we sent out, a sock monkey on the top and argyle on the side in red, blue and brown.

 

 

Love this color scheme!

 

 

Not so sure about frosting....or cake.

Guess How Much I Love You

This is probably one of my favorite cakes I've made so far.

 

The theme was from the children's book "Guess How Much I Love You".

 

 

I actually painted this cake!

It's all hand painted.

I used the gel colors, water and paint brushes.  

Lucky for me, my son has this book so I was able to use it to find a good scene to paint and use lines from the book to quote around the sides.

Fourth of July Birthday

4th of July First Birthday Cake

 

 

 

Fathers Day

 I actually hadn't planned on making a cake, it was really a just last minute impulse decision. I had some extra cake batter and frosting left over from a previous order so I threw together a small cake for my dad of some of his favorite things.

 

 

 Beer, tools, ties, and a TV remote. Okay, not so much the tie for my dad but it's manly so I threw it on there!

 

 

We went to brunch with the in-laws at The Machine Shed. After nap time we headed over to my parents house for some quality family time.



 

Happy Father's Day!

Minnie Mouse Birthday

Gender Neutral Baby Shower

I had the pleasure of making one of my cousin's a cake for her baby shower. Sarah is due with their first child the middle to end of June and decided they wanted to wait to find out the gender of Baby Drey!

For a neutral themed cake, I incorporated both blue and pink along with green, brown, and orange with bows, buttons, and stripes.

Minecraft is much more popular than I thought, kids love this game!

Greg and Anna's Wedding

Another wedding in the books!

Our friends Greg and Anna finally tied the knot!! The wedding was over St. Patrick's Day weekend. It was an absolutely beautiful wedding ceremony and very fun reception, photo booth and great DJ included ;)

The bride and groom had a yummy dessert table with delicious cake pops from Urban Sugar located out of Des Moines, IA in an assortment of flavors, along with cream cheese mints.

They wanted their own small cake to cut for the cake cutting. Their colors were dark grey and true red with damask print on their invitations. So for their cake Anna requested a dark grey fondant covered cake with red damask print.

Two of the bride and grooms close friends also had their birthday's on their big day so they wanted to do something special for them. They requested their own birthday cakes to help celebrate their birthday! Isn't that so cute?!

Under the Sea

"The seaweed is always greener

In somebody else's lake

You dream about going up there

But that is a big mistake

Just look at the world around you

Right here on the ocean floor

Such wonderful things surround you

What more is you lookin' for?

Under the sea

Under the sea

Darling it's better

Down where it's wetter

Take it from me

Up on the shore they work all day

Out in the sun they slave away

While we devotin'

Full time to floatin'

Under the sea"

I just love "The Little Mermaid". When I think of an Under the Sea party this song pops in my head and plays over and over.

I had the pleasure of making little Miss Gracyn's birthday cake again this year. Her favorite Disney princess is Ariel! So for her birthday this year she had an Under the Sea birthday party theme and her mother requested the most perfect cake for her...

An aqua blue ombre ruffle cake!

It was my first time making BOTH fondant ruffles and using the ombre effect. I watched a couple tutorials on YouTube for tips then tried it out on my own. I love how it turned out.

 Up close ruffles, my favorite picture :)

The cake is made from a 4-inch round top tier and a 6-inch round bottom tier. Both tiers are chocolate cake with white chocolate buttercream covered in marshmallow fondant. In order to get the ruffles to stick up and not break, I mixed equal parts fondant with pre-made white gumpaste purchased from my local craft store.
