65??

Wow, can you imagine being married for 65 years??? I really don't know that I can. that is a really long time!

This is a small wedding anniversary cake for a really sweet couple, married 65 years!

Sugar Dogwood flowers made by hand. cakes are covered in buttercream and fondant. all edible!!

yum!

Well the oven is still an issue. This time around I just left it open a smidge and let the extra heat float out into the kitchen. I am afraid that this is not a viable option for the summer. I am going to need to start an oven fund soon!

This is a simple sweet 16 cake- strawberry cake, buttercream icing covered in fondant, with simple fondant flowers.

Cupcakes are not my friend.

I say a lot of things are not 'your friend'. Those of you who know me well, will know just what i am referring to.

However, cupcakes really aren't my friend. Or maybe my OVEN isnt my friend.

I burned the first 2 dozen cupcakes. The next group, I watched like a crazy person. Everytime, I walked away from the oven for 5 mins and then went back and checked the oven thermometer that I keep in the very old oven--the temperature was 450degs, even though the oven was set at 225. What the world?? Finally, I just kept the oven door open and stood over it and watch them cook. some of them were still a little darker than I prefer. Most of the 'first batch' had to go in the trash, too bad.

Finally-about 45 cupcakes all finished up... I have attached a couple of pictures. enjoy! Some are vanilla and some are strawberry flavored. buttercream icing with fondant gerbera daisies, pink and orange (never know about the iphone pic)!

COMING SOON...

I will post a pic about my least favorite friend right now----THE OVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pillow Birthday Cake

This cake was the cake from the nether-region. Seriously, it was 'thomas the train' all over again. Those of you who know me well- know what this means. ..

I dont know what the world was the deal, nothing worked out-- its just a pillow for goodness sake. well it took me so many hours I cant begin to count. things ended up going ok. the cake was delivered without a hitch. i rebaked it around 0100 on Friday night. These things happen--- hope you enjoy the pic.

the cake is chocolate with ganache filling and covered in buttercream and fondant. Enjoy!

Stegosaurus

here he is in the trunk of our car!

This stegosaurus cake is made of strawberry cake. I used rice krispie treats for the head, tail, legs, and belly. gumpaste for the bony plates, toes, and spikes on the tail. homemade marshmallow fondant covered all of the surfaces.

Since this was for my nephew who was turning 4 this weekend, the colors were made to his specifications. I dont have an airbrush, so I handpainted all of the colors. he wanted the dino to be yellow and brown specifically. We drove this dino 9 hours for delivery of this cake:D
In Dallas on 635 there was a car stopped at a dead stop on the interstate. Luckily my husband was able to stop before hitting him (there was no where to go to another lane) and Steg seemed to handle the quick stop ok. he made the drive pretty well.

Also big thanks to my hubby for helping me think this cake over for weeks or even months also for building the 'stand' for Steg.
