Buddy #7 2-19

 We had a party for Buddy and friends - after the detailed puppy cakes for school school, these ones were just simple cupcakes

Buddy #7 2-19

   

 My grandson Buddy said he wanted cupcakes for his birthday with Roper on them. Roper is my black border collie. I made 2 black dogs that kind of resemble a border collie. I found some pictures on the internet and attempted to make some more puppies. Pugs, sheep dogs, shihtzu, poodle and a couple other cute ones. I baked 48 cupcakes and by the end I was running out of steam so I made some foot prints and puppy bones. I had 6 hours into decorating these - the things we do for our grand kids!  He has a Valentines birthday so we took them for the class to share.
This is what his teacher write:

I received one of your lovely cupcakes from Buddy. I said, “ Your grandma make adorable cupcakes!” and Buddy replied, “She’s the best cupcake maker.” Thanks, for sharing your talents with our school today J

Kim for Karies 40th 12-18

Kim wanted German Chocolate cake with coconut pecan frosting for Karie's 40th Birthday.

Karie is an outdoor gal with interest in hunting and all things outside. Karie also has issues with sugar intake so this cake was done from scratch. It was quite the trial and learning experience for me. Baking sugar free is a challenge and expensive. There was over $25 worth of ingredients in this cake.

Cat in the Hat 10/18

Cat in the hat is always a hit!

40th Reunion Simms High 8-18

Everyone see pictures on my cakes on Facebook. They said I needed to make a cake for our 40th reunion so they could all taste what they have been watching me post pictures of for years. This just made me think .... It is just shy of 40 years since I started doing cakes.  Lots on blood sweat and tears have gone into growing my talent. I have been truly blessed with a talent that even some days I even surprise myself.  I appreciate all my friend, family, & acquaintances support! This is doing what I love and loving what I do

Chilo's dinosaur birthday 7-18

This is my interpretation if a Fingerling Dinosaur named raptor. My grandson asked for a dinosaur for his birthday. The head is Rice Krispie Treats. and there are plastic dinosaurs around the base of the cake - He loved it!

Spidy for dad Birthday 6-18

Dad and the kids are into Spider-man so we made dad's 25th birthday cake with spiderwebs. Look close and see the small Spider-man (done in fondant) on the upper left corner of the 5.  Sorry the picture was blurry ( had to get an new phone  for better pictures!) The picture doesn't show the details very well but I did a city skyline along the bottom of the numbers - blue sky with black building  silhouette.

Finding wedding cakes

I see that it is kind of hard to scroll through several years of cakes to find the wedding cakes so  If you click on the label of the type of cake you want below it will filter only those types of cakes for you to look at. With 40 years of experience no 2 cakes are alike so I have tons of pictures.  Send me a copy of a cake you are thinking about and we can make a cake that is unique for your special day.

Finding cakes by category

There are are lot of Birthday cakes and cakes of all types on my blog. In order to see cakes for a particular category you can click on the labels listed below to sort by type you need. In other words if you click on Kids Birthday  - all you will see are kids cakes. If you click on adult cakes you will only see cakes for adults.

Graduation for CMR 2018, The 1st cake I did for a Scout fund raiser - It was for a silent action. the second one was for my friend Nina's daughter who is going into the Army - hence the dog tags.

Fairyland birthday cake Jen 2018

My daughter-in-law loves flowers and gardens so we made her this fairyland birthday cake. It was a bit short notice so the figurines were purchased a the Hobby store. ( frogs, mushroom, Butterflies, Silk flowers and a fairy). I made a pretzel stick fence and fondant rocks around the pond. We wanted coconut pecan frosting but it isn't Jen's favorite so  by adding the blue pond and the green grass  in buttercream we all had the cake we wanted.
