Ahoy Matey!

A pirate party on the river? Yes please!

The party was for a 4 year old, so these are 'kiddie' pirates.
Modelling chocolate bandanas, and cream cheese icing faces/eye patches.

There were treasure maps as well, but I didn't get any pictures of those.
"Arrrr" til next time!

Bachelor Party Cake

Cake isn't the first thing that springs to mind when most people think "bachelor party"...
But for me, it seemed like a logical step
This cake was made as a challenge for myself, to then be sent to my fiance's bachelor party

Two sheetcakes and one globe cake make up this torso

This was a fun chance to try out Cornelli lace!
The bachelor himself added the belly button,
I wanted him to be able to say he helped!

This cake was a little top heavy, making it interesting to transport.
But it survived to make it to the party and they guys loved it!

Look Out!

...Here comes SpiderMan!

Received an order for SpiderMan cupcakes!

Specifications Given: Spiderman, cream cheese icing, vanilla cake.

Well, we know it has to be red and blue!

Modelling chocolate spidey heads, hand formed and "webbed"
with Royal Icing eyes.

Spiderman Logo makes an appearance...

In this picture I think they look like ants at a picnic. lol.

22 Spiderman Cupcakes!

Computing....

Want a nerdy cake?
How about a motherboard cake?!

Green Velvet cake, green cream cheese icing.
Sugar wafer & Rolo components

I know the RAM slots...and the processor...as for the rest I'm lost.

Yum!

Simple Can Be Elegant

Got an order for a plain cheesecake for 2, but I had a new decorating technique I wanted to try out...

Called "brush embroidery," this style starts with a piped line of icing, then gets feathered out with a clean dry paint brush. Sugar pearls add a little pop.

Simple technique, beautiful results.
Looks good enough to eat!

That *&%$ Rabbit!

Gardeners understand how hard it is to get rid of bunnies, especially in a carrot patch!

Carrot Cake, Cream Cheese Icing

Starburst & Twizzler Carrots

Poor bunny, he's all tuckered out!

Empty carrot holes and crumbs all around.

Sweet sleepy bunny...and yummy yummy cake

2 for 2

The novelty of twins makes for some fun cake opportunities...

Stephen and Stanton Monroe, 53

Stephen lays his hair down, wears a handlebar mustache, ropers, and single pocket shirts.

Stan wears his hair shorter (& prickly), a grand mustache, 2 pocket shirts, and pointy boots.

Yellow cake with chocolate cream cheese icing as the base, and red velvet twins with cream cheese icing.

Stan (my Dad) cutting into the head of his brother!

The carnage. It was pretty fun having them red on the inside!
Can't wait to try and top this next year!
