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.

*Caution-Crime Scene*

My co-worker is into CSI. Not the TV show, but the real field, she's taken a lot of forensic classes and her favorite was finger printing. My co-worker also recently bought an extremely tacky 90s velor, teal couch. And she LOVES it. So for her bday I decided to put those two aspects together. I even put finger prints on the lamp and lampshade. Speaking of lampshade... I giggled all night over that little thing, I was so in love with it. I know, I amuse myself.

M-I-C...K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E

I'd had a pretty rough day. Really rough. Anything that could piss me off, did. This cake was therapeutic. I loved it. I had a clear picture in my head, and the cake actually did what I told it to with out arguing. It was a better ending to my day than just huffing off to bed.

Aloha! Hula girl

This was a last minute favor. I did the palm tree and hula girl out of fondant. I really wanted to try them with modeling chocolate, but I just didn't have the time to 1- make the modeling chocolate (I'm still sticking with making all my own stuff, even the fondant), and 2- let it harden.
My boss saw the Camaro and decided he needed a cake for his daughter's birthday. She's turning 13, and is taking hula lessons. The inside of this cake I tried a new flavor and it turned out fabulous, at least the little I tasted was. It's a chocolate chip cookie cake. I'm going to start trying a lot more gourmet flavors. Let's watch as hopefully in coming cakes my figures get better :).

Camaro... Transformers edition

I now know that the difference between a regular yellow camaro, and the Transformers edition is... the racing stripes. Yup, that's it. So, here it is. I kind of thought that my first carving experience was going to be in about two weeks on a couch project (that's going to be an awesome cake by the way! Stay tuned, you don't want to miss it), but as it turns out, I ran into this little project last minute. Carve a camaro. OK, for the girl who when asked, "what kind of car was/is it?" answers, "yellow". As usual the perfectionist in me is screaming at what I see to be wrong with it, but I think overall in a cake carving experience, this was pretty good. And the man mentioned getting me a sprayer when he saw the racing stripes. Yes! I need one for the tattoo cake I have coming up in May (another one you should stay tuned for!). He's an ice cream freak, so the best I could do was make the base an ice cream cake road. Asphalt pie. I can't carve ice cream. Sorry, I know you're all disappointed with that discovery.

Peace, Love, and cake

To sum Alle up, peace, love, and indie about do it. About. She's also brilliant, sweet, a firecracker, and amazing on all levels. But for the cake's sake, we'll stick with peace and love. Which of course means the cake itself has to be tie-dyed. (Hopefully Alle sends me a pic of the inside after she cut it so we can all see it :)). I took a few pictures of this cake because there were little details all over it that I loved. I'm in love with this cake.

3D flowers

so just throwing it out that I did steal this idea from google images... but I'm still pleased with myself for pulling it off! I made it for Emily's 10th bday.
