This is the shower cake for my precious nephew's baby to be...Sofia.  PRECIOUS...

Cheyenne Loves Softball

Cheyenne asked for a softball cookie cake.  I couldn't just frost it to look like a softball...boring.  Instead I decided to build the field including a score board and batters box.  It isn't to scale but on a scale for cuteness??? Clearly it is a 10!!! 

The Beach with Bieber

Cheyenne is nine and thinks that Justin Bieber is "it".  So...when it was time to talk birthday cakes, the beach was the plan but Mr. Bieber had to come along. 

This cake was a ton of fun to build.  Wendy and I started the decorations a few days in advance and finished them up the say if the build.  There were some failed attempts...a crooked chair, scary feet, a fantastically bad pair if shoes, a fat, flat ball painted with interesting colors....the list goes on and on.  But...we kept working (and playing) and 9 hours later...ta da!!!!  The Beach with Bieber was complete!!!

Caitlyn's Cookie

Oh, how I love the Kaderka girls.  Last year I promised Caitlyn that I would make her a cookie cake and needless to say...it never happened.  SO...sweet sixteen rolls around this year and I am on it.  It couldn't be just an ordinary cookie cake with plain Jane frosting.  It had to be special.   I pulled out the fondant and yummy buttercream frosting and made this little gem just for her.  For a cookie...it is pretty precious, no? 

Making flowers...

This never made it on a cake...but I like it...modern-ish and bright.  Just thought I'd share.  : )

Natalie and Nicole...A birthday at the beach.

I will admit from the very start that this precious cake had very little to do with me. My friend, Wendy, was the mastermind behind this masterpiece!

It all started with beach chairs. She made those from popsicle sticks the morning before the real cake making magic began. When the evening came, I visited and together we started making the pieces for the magic.

We worked on shells for the first couple of hours and then moved on to the other decorations. While Wen worked on the two towels (hand painting them...too cute!) and red sunglasses, I started working on a couple pair of flip-flops, the umbrella top, beach ball, surfboard, and let us not forget the log! : ) After many laughs and a rather large mess...I headed home and left the rest of the cake to her!

Wendy hand painted some grass, made some fencing, rolled some rope to go around the bottom of the tiers, crumbled cookies for sand, and just basically made one of the cutest darn cakes I have ever seen! Don't you agree?
