| Happy Birthday for a duck hunter. Yellow cake, cream cheese icing, MMF decorations (my most popular combo!). |
 |
| Rimmed the "pond" with a few tufts of grass. |
 |
| I used a template to cut out this duck silhouette and used food coloring "paint" to add all of his coloring by hand. I love how he turned out!! |
 |
| Request for this cake was a square cake with "cherry" blossoms in Plum. |
 |
| Picked up a sample of the bride's chosen color at David's Bridal to make sure the flowers matched. They did match, but unfortunately the purple did not translate well on my camera- probably had to do with the flash I had to use indoors. |
 |
| The bride loved the "pearls" details in the flowers. And the silver accents. |
 |
| I do not have a picture of the cake with the topper, it hadn't arrived yet before I left. I am looking forward to seeing wedding photos posted by the bride! |
 |
| Ta-dah, an "Angry Birds" birthday cake. |
 |
| Yellow cake, cream cheese icing, and marshmallow fondant Angry Bird face. I was told they don't have names, so this is just "the red one." Love how he turned out! |
 |
| This birthday cake was for a 2 year old that can tell you the name of any piece of farm equipment, he loves it! |
 |
| Cody was excited about his "John Deere tractor" |
 |
| He insisted that the cows continue to "eat" his piece of cake after it was cut, so he could lick the icing off them. |
 |
| Cody was more excited about the "dirt" than the loader. :) |
 |
| So this one time...Ben fell off of the airboat... he wasn't hurt, so it was hilarious. With a little help from my friends, I decided that this moment and many of his other favorite things should be commemorated in his 30th birthday cake! |
 |
| Just in case it's not obvious, I'll tell you what they all are: |
 |
| Here is his deer rifle, or crow or coyote...whatever he wants to hunt. The man loves his guns. |
 |
| He is a farmer, the first thing I remember him planting was corn. Plus...I wasn't sure how to easily do wheat or soybeans. ha ha. |
 |
| Ben and his buddies go out to Arkansas every once in awhile for duck hunting, and we love Duck Dynasty. |
 |
| Yeti Coolers boast of being "bear proof," I think a bigger accomplishment is that so far they have proven to be "Ben Proof" too. He also got Waukeenah Fertilizer setup as an official Yeti dealer! |
 |
| Speaking of Waukeenah Fertilizer, Ben is proud to have been working there for years. Added a bag of their "Top Yield" fertilizer. |
 |
| Here is Ben making his splash into the river! |
 |
| Ben doesn't like to be anywhere without his hat, I added the purple bikini top for myself. |
 |
| PW Farms is Ben and Daniel's farming company, he does have their insignia on his favorite Tervis Tumbler. |
 |
| This is actually a combo of two stories- the one about falling off the airboat, and once Ben was messing around in a kayak and flipped it but managed to keep his drink out of the water. A proud moment. |
 |
| This is all we saw from the boat...orange Crocs flailing around. ha ha. |
 |
| What would Bigfoot do all day? Seems like his life would be a little lonely and boring! |
 |
| Hence the cupcakes: "Bigfoot is Bored" for my little brother's 14th birthday! |
 |
| Almost feel sorry for the guy, but he sure was fun to make! |
 |
| I didn't want just trees in the woods, though I guess that would have made it MORE boring, so I added a few water features and some rocks. This bit of the river even has a little fish in it, but Bigfoot is not amused. haha. |
 |
| Needed a HAPPY BIRTHDAY indicator as well. |
 |
| And a "hairy" number 14 for the birthday boy's age! Sometimes it is super fun to get to have free reign on what to make! |
 |
| 1 dozen FSU graduation cupcakes, Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Icing. |
 |
| Complete with little diploma toppers. |
 |
| 2 tier graduation cake, Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Icing, fondant details, and "Sixlet" candy borders. |
 |
| Graduation cap cake topper, loved how this turned out! |
 |
| Garnet and Gold dots and stars were scattered on both tiers. This cake was very festive! |
 |
| Graduation cakes are fun, this is a twist on the usual though- it's for Dentistry! Had so much fun with this cute little tooth! |
 |
| Since the cake was pink, I thought it would be fitting to have a little "teeth" border. |
 |
| Made a shiny silver pick and mirror. |
 |
| No dentist can work without a mask! |
 |
| Little graduation cap for our "tooth graduate" |
 |
| Toothbrush and diploma details too! Congrats to the graduate!! |
 |
| Tiered yellow cake with pink buttercream, with mmf dots, bows, and lettering. |
 |
| This order was for a BIG baby shower, I made 5 dozen cookies and a 3 tier cake. |
 |
| Little pink onesie cookies, with an "A" for Addison. |
 |
| Bottom Tier detail. Tiny bows went around the cake, with this sparkly name plate for Ms. Addison. |
 |
| Middle tier detail. Cake was surrounded with multicolored dots. |
 |
| Top tier detail. Onesie outline, I later added the baby's monogram, but forgot to snap a picture. |
 |
| Top detail. |
 | |
| To complete the story- unfortunately this cake was delivered on a day when we were experiencing road work (on our mile long dirt driveway) and rain for several days in a row. All the jiggling and jostling did not allow the bottom tier to survive the mud bog that was necessary to leave my house. I was able to salvage the top 2 tiers without a problem, and the good news is that there was plenty of cake at the party- there were even leftovers! |
