Sombrero!

For a dude turning 60, with the party at a local Mexican restaurant.  His grandkids call him "Pie", thus the symbol on the cake.  Clever, eh?

Izzy is Two!

 

Art Party!

Harper is having her birthday party at a local art space.  The cake in the shape of an artist's palette uses the colors from the birthday girl's invitations.

The Yellow Rose of Texas

A moist and tangy lemon cake covered in delicately lemony buttercream roses for a lovely lady turning 80.

Baby Nurse Kate's birthday

Holy macaroni.  It's been THREE months since I last posted here?  Ridiculous.  And now Blogger has gone all new on how I post things.  Yeesh.  Let's try this one.  Baby Kate, who is now officially Nurse Kate, and has accepted a job at Texas Children's Hospital, turned 24 at the beginning of June.  This is her cake.  Lemon cake, lime frosting and pink gumpaste fantasy flowers.  I am practicing for Emily's wedding cake in October.  Let's see if I can figure out how to post this!

Cake Pops for a Baby Shower

So sweet!

The Divine Miss M (& M)

A chocolate extravaganza for a friend's birthday.  The fondant covered rice krispie treat M&M
sits in her hot tub of M&M bubbles.  All of this sits atop a 2-layer 6" chocolate cake,
iced and filled with chocolate ganache and surrounded by chocolate bars.
Served with chocolate margaritas.  Oh my.

Mexican Fiesta

For a "Tequila & Tacos" birthday party. 

The invitation had simple multi-colored stripes around the edges so we went with that theme
on the simple-but delicious birthday cake. 

Cookies for a Cousin

Getting a bit of a jump on Easter. The bottoms of these egg-shaped cookies are dipped in melted chocolate. Royal icing and sprinkles complete the decor.

Yo Gabba Gabba!

I didn't even know what that meant before our granddaughter was born! Cupcakes for a boy turning three. Hope he and his friends love them!

Weddingish

A simple little Princess cake with lots of buttercream, topped with a fondant bow and some glitter sugar. For an adorable, romantic couple whose wedding cakes I crafted a few years ago. They were taking their wedding party to lunch to celebrate their anniversary of becoming "engaged."

Couples Baby Shower

Kinda funky, kinda girly, based on the colors of the shower invitation ... with non-traditional booties on top!

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.
