Bieber Fever

Did I show you my Justin Bieber cake yet? No? You don't want to miss this!

I thought I was somehow getting away with FIVE girls and not a single Beiber fan... alas, the oldest caught the bug. I let her try her hand on her own cake with the paisleys, and I think she did a great job. I didn't get a good pirture of it, but we added "Baby, baby, baby Oh" around the sides of the cake. She loved it. That's all that matters.

I must add, it was hilarious watching the girls fight over the cake. We had "I want his hair", "I want his eye", "I want his lips", and we had "Do NOT give me a piece that has anything to do with him!" Girls, we are a fickle breed :).

Purple party cake

This is what happens when you have a large odd shape cake (originally intended for carving a shap out of) and the need of an extra last minute cake.

Birdie's dancing

"Birdie" is turning five and wants a ballet cake. I went over and over how to do this cake in my head for weeks. Finally, after doing the mega cupcakes with non edible accents I started stretching my ideas. I was kind of opposed to using non edible accents on cakes because that seemed to defeat the purpose, but then I thought "why?" I'm still making the cake, the filling, the fondant. I'm still decorating it from head and abilities. And frankly, using tulle on a cake tutu was going to turn out much better than using fondant. So...
Here's a picture of my chocolate chip cookie cake with caramel filling before I covered it with fondant. It gets ordered with every cake I make, a fast favorite, everyone wants it. I don't blame them, it's amazing :).

Intoducing... Mega Cupcakes

I put these together for a fundraiser auction for Girl's Camp. I had so much fun doing these, and they were a big hit too, which made me feel good :). I made a cupcake in each value's color.
