Birthdays!

Here is a post of some of my recent kiddo birthday cakes.


This "Baby Miss Piggy" was for a special little girl's 1st birthday. I was so happy with how she turned out!! This is probably one of my favourite cakes that I have had to do... I probably say that a lot, but it is right up there. Although it took a lot of hours and work, I was so happy with the outcome! Her sweet little curls, right down to the pearls. This piggy had class!

I hope they enjoyed her as much as I enjoyed creating her.




Now this cake, not quite as exciting as the previous one, unless you are a little 3 year old boy who LOVES "Cars" the movie. He kept changing his mind each day about what cake he wanted, but when it came down to it, he wanted a "Doc racetrack cake". So that is what we did. He just wanted to race the cars around and around the cake. So overall it was a success!



Woodland Baby Shower



I was asked by a good friend of mine to do these sweet little cupcakes for her sister-in-law's baby shower. She gave me the theme of "woodlands" so I ran with it. Given more time and a bigger budget, I would have done more, but I wanted to make these little cupcakes cute and relevant.

Working with large sized whoppers, I carved out little owls, giving them sunflower seed beaks and using sprinkles for feet. Then using mini marshmellows and chocolate wafers I made little mushrooms to top the other cupcakes. Keeping with the "baby boy" theme, the rest were baby blue. I always love decorating projects like this one. Congrats on the new baby boy! Babies are such wonderful gifts from God.
