"Bob the builder, can we fix it? Bob the Builder... yes we can!"
I couldn't stop singing it as I made this cute little cake for Chad's 3rd birthday!

Barbra Streisand "Hello Dolly" cake
This was definitely a unique order... a Barbra Streisand/ Hello Dolly cake for a special girl turning 5 years old!! She saw Hello Dolly once and was hooked.
They decided to have Barbra sitting on a top hat.

Baby in a Manger cupcakes
For our MOPS birthday party for Jesus, I made some manger cupcakes. In an effort to save time, I decided to use plastic babies which are not the cutest things on the block... It worked.

Nutcracker on Ice Centerpeice Cake
I was asked to create a centerpiece for the cast party/reception for the Nutcracker on Ice (which my daughters both performed in). The theme colors were hot pink, turquoise and purple. I decided on a Nutcracker popping out of a cake decorated with skates and candies.
It was quite humorous to watch the skaters taking turns taking their picture with the cake!

Dolphin Cake
My daughter Faith requested a dolphin this year for her 6th birthday. She also wanted some bright colored fish and some sparkly fish. She is typically quite random with her requests each year and this was no exception!

Globe 80th Birthday
"Around the World in 80 Years with Carl" was the title of this event. Carl has been my business mentor over the past couple of months and it was a pleasure to be able to make his big day but a little bit more special. The cake featured only a few of the flags for the countries he has traveled two, a book he wrote and published, and a globe. Many of the (140) guests at the party came from foreign countries to celebrate Carl's 80 years of life!

Cake Road Trip: Lego Groom's Cake
I was honored and privileged this month to be able to create a groom's cake for one of my closest friends in my home state of Rhode Island! My aunt was so generous as to open up her kitchen for my cake project (thank you, Marilyn) and Southwest airlines were so kind as to not give me trouble carrying a cake on board. (I baked it in MO, carried it on the plane "naked") and decorated it in RI. Everything went down without a hitch, amazingly. Andrea's groom, Tom, loves and collects Legos so we did a Lego themed surprise groom's cake. So much fun!
Love is like Legos. Buying a Lego set where all the pieces have already been put together would be no fun. Build your life together, build on the love you have
for each other and build a family together. When you step back and
see the completed creation, you will be amazed at all the
things you have accomplished together.
Thank you and congratulations Andrea and Tom!

3D Batman
This year for my son, Gabe's 4th birthday he decided he wanted a Batman cake.... but not the black caped Batman... only the BLUE caped Batman. He was quite excited with the result!
Happy Birthday, Gabe!!!
Thomas the Train for Twins
This was a Thomas the Train themed cake for a set of twin boys turning 4. Ironically, my own son also turned four on the same day as the twins... he wasn't too happy that we were buying toy trains for someone else and that they were not going to be returned!
The feedback from Ryan and Tyler's mom says it was a hit!
"The cake turned out amazing and everyone loved it!!!! Ryan and Tyler couldn't believe their eyes!!! Thanks so much!!!"

Brownie Wedding Cake: Funky Design
Jillian and PJ came to me wanting a wedding cake made from brownies. They decided on this design with the house on the top of a hill and balloons going up behind the house. Reasoning: PJ (the groom) had proposed to Jillian on a hill and after the proposal, his friends released hundreds of balloons from behind the other side of the hill.
Some other details on the cake:
Some squirrels (because Jillian loves squirrels)
The proposal balloons
A "cake topper" made from a picture that Jillian's 6 year-old sister drew of the two of them.
A mailbox with a J+P
