Graduation Cakes!

It has been a VERY busy week. I have been making graduation cakes! I want to say congrats to all the graduates, especially SVS Class of 2011, Diamond, and Bretta! Thanks for letting me be a part of your celebration.

Happy Birthday Cody, Love Mom

Well, my baby boy turned nine this week. It seems like yesterday that he was a baby. This year he requested a hunting cake. It had been a VERY busy week for me, so I had to make his cake in a hurry. I had to laugh when he seen it.....He said " Mom you are supposed to have the hunter's gun pointed at the deer!" I said " Code, I did that on purpose...I didn't want to offend any one at your party." He says " Mom, oh my gosh, that is what hunters do!" LOL He cracks me up! If you can't tell he is very serious about his hunting. We do have a rule in our house, that is if you kill it you must eat it.....that is all that I am going to say on that subject.

Confirmation Cakes

First Communion

My son Cody just went through his First Communion. Doesn't he look handsome! I was busy making five cakes (yikes!) and trying to get him, my self and everything ready.

It turned out to be a fantastic day! Time sure does fly....I guess he is growing up (sigh).

More Gum Paste and Another Birthday!

I have discovered gum paste...and I am having way to much fun with it! I made this little horse, cowgirl hat, horse whip and all the flowers with gum paste. I love it! I have also discovered that I have an artist in me just waiting be let out. I always thought to be an artist you had to be able to draw, paint or something like that. I guess....I am a sculptor.

Here is the cake that a friend ask me to make for her grand daughter's 9th birthday. She said that she wanted a cowgirl cake. So, this is what I came up with. I had a blast making this cake!

Happy Birthday Christina! I hope you had a great day and I hope you loved your cake!

My First Gum Paste Person.....

My friend Jessica is about to have her fourth baby. Yesterday my moms group threw a baby shower for her. I volunteered to make the cake and cupcakes. I decided that I was going to try and make my first gum paste person. OK, I have to laugh and its OK if you do too! She is way to big for my cake, she is supposed to look pregnant, and she has kankles (is that how you spell it?)

LOL. I think it turned out pretty cute....and hey I learned something right? Congrats to my friend Jessica! We hope to see that baby soon. :) I may have to do a tutorial on gum paste when I get a little better at it. It really is a lot of fun!

And......She's 18

Well tomorrow is a happy, yet sad day for me my baby girl turns 18 (sigh...where does time go?). She ask me to make a very special cake for her 18th birthday. This is what I came up with, all the things she loves; flowers, makeup, the color pink, zebra print and shoes. You can eat everything on this cake. The flowers, makeup, shoe and tag are all gum paste. The box is fondant and the bottom cake is butter cream frosting. Happy Birthday Abbie, I love you very, very much! I am blessed and proud to be your mom.
