Family Reunion on Crystal Beach
This is from back in November (when I was totally gobsmacked by new grandbaby and couldn't post pics). But what a gorgeous cake, eh? White Princess Sour Creme cake slathered in buttercream and topped with chocolate shells and fondant pearls. Oh my. I can taste it now.
Back Hoe
For a group of 2 and 3 year old boys. Donut tires, graham cracker dirt and a gumpaste back hoe. Everything else is cake and buttercream. Fun!

Happy Father's Day!
... and ...
a
Chocolate cake balls! The lighter chocolate coated ones are simple chocolate cake balls, the darker chocolate ones have a maraschino cherry stuffed in the middle. Oh my. WAY too rich!

Yup
(She is sitting in the midst of Grandpa's glorious garden here, a few weeks ago. Isn't she cute?)
As it turns out, I can blame all the lack of posts/pictures to this blog on my camera! Izzy's mom is a professional photographer. She helped me figure out how to upload pictures again from my camera to to my blog last night (the process which hasn't been working since September), then very diplomatically told me I have a DINOSAUR of a camera to deal with and better gosh darned buy a new one!
All righty then.
My apologies to everyone whose cakes I've created since September and haven't been able to post the pictures of ...
Baby Kate's birthday pies
Yes, I know. She just turned 23. She's hardly a baby. But she's our youngest and we sometimes still call her that. And believe it or not, I sometimes do things other than cakes. On the left is a peach-blueberry pie, on the right you will find a fresh strawberry pie. Rather totally delicious, both of them.
Swim Party
Cake Balls!
Such delectable little bits of heaven-in-your-mouth. Who wouldn't want a tray of these for their birthday?!
Baby niece cookies
Even if I can't be there to hold and cuddle and smooch them when they're born, at least I can send some pretty darn cute cookies to celebrate their arrival onto the planet. (Their older siblings get the benefit, but I get the pleasure.)
Baby niece cookies - more
These were a year late. Great Aunt Kevin has been a bit distracted lately. But they were made and sent with love to darling Berklee and her two big sisters!

Why you haven't seen many cake pics from me lately ...
Because our first grandbaby was born at home in a tub under a full moon with a midwife on July 25. I can hardly bear to do little else since then but hold, rock, change, sing and talk to this glorious little girl. And by the way ... in this picture I'm rocking her in the rocking chair that my grandparents bought when they were pregnant with my dad in 1923. It's a keeper. And so is she. I'm back in the cake saddle again, though, and here are a few pictures from the past few weeks. More to come.

A Beach Wedding
White Princess Sour Creme cake with wavy buttercream and lots of chocolate shells and fondant pearls for decoration. Oh my.
The Groom's Cake
Chocolate cake slathered in buttercream, slabbed in chocolate, tied with a silver ribbon.
Ladybug, ladybug, flyaway home ...
For a little girl who loves ladybugs, and red, and green. No pink, thank you ;-)
