weekend cakes...

whew - another doozy! there was a mix up this weekend - i had one of the bigger cakes on my calendar for the 12th....and i had said "sunday" about 5 times in my emails back & forth with the lady placing the request - but then when we spoke on thursday evening & i ended the phone conversation with "ok, see you sunday" - she says "no - it's saturday!" what?! what was i supposed to do - say "sorry, i can't do it now"?!

soooooo...i pulled an all-nighter on friday night & busted out all 4 of these request...once again, thx to the most wonderful hubby on earth! he stayed up late to help me with the cheeseburger cupcakes (he's an excellent patty maker! ~wink~) - and he helped roll fondant balls for the funky 40th cake on saturday morning (while the kids watched cartoons)....then he delivered the cheeseburgers for me! what would i do without u babe?! ;0)

this is what my table looked like before loading up for delivery saturday afternoon

first up was my donation to the kids' school for their annual FIESTA bake sale.....i donated these last year & they requested i do them again....they're my cheeseburger cupcakes (aka - krabby patties).....yellow cupcake bun, fudge chip cake patty, fondant lettuce & cheese & butter cream ketchup & mustard....i individually wrapped them for sale

this was the mix-up cake.....it's simple because the ladies throwing the baby shower, planned on placing plastic jungle animals on this cake after i delivered it.....i'm supposed to get a pic from her today.....it's 4 tiers of wedding white cake (100 servings!), iced in butter cream.....i made the baby and name plaque out of fondant

then came this cake...i've done variations of this cake many times (i think this is the 5th one?)....this one had to ride all the way to hagerstown, maryland! i did find out yesterday that it made it safe & sound & was enjoyed by all! ;0)
it's 4 tiers (100 servings!) of chocolate & banana cake (alternating tiers).....all iced in butter cream.....the pink & white balls are fondant & the black balls & dots are dark chocolate fondant.....the #40 topper with stars is not edible

and lastly came another one i've done different variations of - i think this one is my fav tho....i tried to make the monkeys appear a little younger on this one - since it was for a 1st birthday & i think they came out cute :0)
2 tiers of marble cake & 1 matching smash cake....all iced in butter cream....i made the monkeys, bananas & rocks out of fondant & the leaves out of gum paste

thx for looking!
