Lightning McQueen

This was for little AJ's 2nd Birthday! (The same little guy who is pictured with the Lion cake and jungle animals). He was into Lions at his 1st Birthday, but now he moved on to "Cars" the movie. Even though Mater is his favorite character, I had a difficult time finding the pan that I needed for Mater so his mama found a Lightning McQueen pan for me to use! He seemed thrilled with it and couldn't wait to dive into it! I heard that he was pretty proud of it and made sure that he showed the guests at the party his cake!

Super Man!

Every Super-Man loving guy needs a Super Man cake for their 30th Birthday! This was a fun cake to do and even more fun when his eyes lit up when he saw it! I asked if he's ever had a Super Man cake before...he responded, "Yeah, when I was 5!" He shared stories of how he would make his mom pin a cape to his t-shirts and how all of his t-shirts would end up having large holes in the shoulders from all of the pins! Even though I wanted to, I held myself back from pinning a cape to his shirt during the party!

Baby Giraffe Baby Shower





This cake was done for Baby Shower for a co-worker of my neighbor. The theme of the shower was "Jungle Babies"...so when we knew the baby was a little girl, we decided to do a giraffe cake with a "girly twist". So that explains the pink giraffe with white polka dots!
The picture of the "Mama-To-Be" taste testing the icing is too cute! :)

A No Brainer...


This was a cake that I made for a Going-Away Party for Psychology resident who I worked with. Since we work with individuals who have Traumatic Brain Injuries, the "brain theme" seemed to be most appropriate! One of my co-workers gave me the idea to write "This is your brain...This is your brain on cake", but it was too long so I had to stick with "A No Brainer...You'll Be Missed" instead.

Flip Flops


This is a very popular cake that seems to fit many of the folks living in the Sunshine State! It's very fun to do...simple, but certainly appropriate for any beach bum!

When I was talking with a co-worker about ideas for another co-workers 30th Birthday, she came up with "Fine As Wine". I thought that "Aged To Perfection" was also appropriate to go along with that theme, so here's what I came up with:









And here's the birthday girl and me!

Birthday Fiesta


A must-have birthday cake for any Margarita lover! Not sure if it was the Birthday girl's drink of choic, but when I was told that the party would be a "Mexican Fiesta", there was only one thing on my mind...Margaritas!
