More March Madness!

Hello again!
These pictures are a little slow getting up here, as we are down in Florida persuing God's will for our future and visiting family.
Every order this month has been so much fun to create and very tempting to eat!!
Order #1: 1st Birthday Cake
These cakes were for a birthday boy who was born on St. Paty's day! What a fun theme to have for a first birthday party! I loved working with the greens and threw a little gold in there for some fun!

Order #2: My brother's "Pirates of the Caribbean" birthday cake - yes it is the Black Pearl!
Another fun cake! I wanted to do the ship entirely out of chocolate "bark" to make it look like a wooden ship. I think it turned out pretty good. Even the sails are made of chocolate! If I had my gum paste with me, I would have used that for the angel on the front, but the fondant did a good enough job this time. It was nice and tasty! (oh and the theme song was played as this was presented!! haha, thanks to my husband's ingenuity - it was fun - and we had sparklers as canons!)

Order #3: Ben 10 Birthday Cupcakes
Apparently this is a cool tv show for 7 year olds that I had never heard about! I had fun creating these vanilla and chocolate cupcakes for the birthday boy! I hope they enjoyed them, and I hope they looked like the omnitrix of Ben in the show!

Order #4: Shower sweets
I had an order for 14 dozen different shower sweets. We made rolo cookies, lemon-yogurt cupcakes, sugar cookies, raspberry white chocolate bars, butter tarts and cherry chip cake truffles! It was hard to resist making extra to eat, but we managed! I hope they had a lovely day celebrating such a sweet girl!

This month's activities



March madness has begun!
I can not believe the business that I have received for the month of March!
Each weekend is being filled with many orders, and I have even had to turn 2 down already!
Well here are the orders as of late:

#1 - I had an order for a baby shower (1 of 2 for this month). It was for our music pastor and his wife and baby boy, so we did some vanilla and chocolate cupcakes with soothers and "music" onesies on top for decoration. I love babies!


#2 - This order was for a first birthday party. This little girl has a favourite dolly called "Stella" which I was asked to replicate for her cake. The poor sweetheart was sick on her birthday, but hopefully some sweet cake was able to cheer her up, especially if it had her best friend Stella on it!


#3 - Another order that I had for this weekend was for a good friend of mine. She is a photographer, and I had asked her to do some work on some photos for me... payment, a birthday cake! Happy Birthday Kate! I'll do a little shout out and give you her site. She is great at what she does. Thanks Kate. A red velvet and buttercream icing cake was for her special day.






Hope you enjoy all these shots!
