weekend cakes...

first up was a cupcake cake for jaden's class - they had an "unbirthday party" on friday to celebrate all the summer birthdays.....these are actual drawings that jaden has done - i just recreated them in icing.....i let him pick out what drawings to include on thursday (he obviously couldn't decide on just one)....then i decorated the cupcakes that night, after he was in bed.....he was SOOO excited when he woke up friday morning! then, when we took them into his class that morning, he had to show EVERYONE! we made sure to take enough for his class & ALL his teachers & helpers

that's him on the left, then a sea monster, a dragon & a robot sweeper ;0)


a graduation cake for a co-worker's son

a simple cake (using gum paste flowers leftover from this wedding cake) for my aunt to donate to her local ruritan auction/bake sale

a 50th birthday cake for "the cake sisters" mom (the cake sisters are regulars - they get at least one cake a month from me & book their dates years in advance)
this is the 3rd time i've done this cake design

and a 50th birthday cake for my dad! his fav cake is carrot cake with cream cheese icing....but he's an ice cream fiend!!! so i made him this....

no ice cream was used in the making of this cake ;0)
it's all carrot cake & cream cheese icing
(the cherries, bananas & spoon are fondant, and the sauces are chocolate...the cherry stems are the only thing not edible)

thanks for looking! ♥

Wow! You amaze me. I don't know how you can do so many in one weekend. When do you sleep?

thx shanna! and well, that's the problem....i occasionally have to pull all-nighters to get them all done....i'm trying hard to pull back a little from decorating - i've just gotten into the habit of over-booking myself....i'm getting better, but i have to trudge thru these next couple of months - the damage had already been done in the over-booking, now i've just gotta get thru the decorating part ;0)

thx laa & fam! :0)
