Rubber Ducky, You're the One!

Request for a 2 tiered cake with a baby clothesline, washtub, and rubber ducky.

Hello Mr. Ducky! All dressed up for the party with your little bow tie and sparkly bubbles.

Had fun making the teeny clothes: little bitty overalls, baby shirts with bottle graphics, shorts.

Personalized the onesies for Baby Colton & all babies need a bib.

One more look at the finished cake. Got word that it was a hit at the shower!

Pardon the pictures without my usual backdrop, it has rained here every day for several weeks and the couple of miles of dirt road that I live down are mud- I stacked this cake at my mother's house before delivery.

Duck Cake

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!!

Here is a case of being in a hurry to get something done, these pictures are a little blurred, I didn't check them before packing up the cake and sending it on it's merry way. Oops.

Who Fell in the Cake?!

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.

I love you Benjamin, Happy Birthday! :)

First Birthday Cake, Farm

A pink, farm, first birthday cake for Ms. Madison. Yellow Cake with cream cheese icing.

A mini-corn field with a little family of chickens enjoying some kernels.

A pond, with lily pads, cattails and a little duck family. (Yes, the girl & baby ducks' heads shouldn't be green, technically...but they are prettier this way...)

A little piggy in his favorite muddy wallow.

I knew if I kept making everything a family there wouldn't be room for them all on the cake, so I just had to make the single animals extra cute... :)

 

Sweet little moo-cow, I love how he turned out... Obviously too big for the pink barn...but hey, I never said it was to scale.

Overall I was SO happy with this cake, and got a fantastic review from Madison's Mommy. :) Pleased to say also that everything on this cake is 100% edible, even the corn stalks, cattails, and cow's legs- they just contain noodle supports.

Ms. Madison's Smash Cake, tried to keep the fondant to a minimum so she could eat as much of the cake as possible without fear of any "small parts". Hope her Mommy posts pictures of her getting into this one. :)
