weekend cakes...

this weekend began with the Valentine truffle orders i'd taken...quite a few of my co-workers had placed orders...& some local folks took advantage of the deal & picked theirs up from me on Friday as well...

i made almost 400 truffles all together & am actually shipping a bunch out today too! apparently, i pissed off some folks by saying i wouldn't be able to ship em this time around! ~lol~ they twisted my arm, & even tho the truffles won't be there in time for Valentines Day (obviously), they'll still be happy to hear they've got truffles on the way ;0)

Saturday, i had 3 orders - 2 cakes & an order of cupcakes...both cakes were repeat designs, but for brand new customers!

i made Strawberry Shortcake & her little town for Miss Kenzy...she wanted to of course have Strawberry Shortcake on there - but also her pony, Honey Pie...& her friend, Orange Blossom

the cake was fudge chip (not strawberry!)...iced in butter cream...the pink mountain is cake too (decorated in pink butter cream)...

the lollies are fondant on sucker sticks, i made characters from fondant & gum paste, and the strawberry house & trees are styrofoam...

Curtis delivered this cake for me...when he came home & i asked how they liked it, he said "she started jumping up & down, clapping & squealing about how wonderful it was when she saw it!"...i just assumed he was talking about little Kenzy - but he said that was actually the mother's reaction! ~lol~ guess she liked it ;0)


the next cake for Saturday was this John Deere tractor for little Levi...

Levi is the son of one of my dear friends from high school - we were cheerleaders together! ;0) their family recently moved back to the area, so i was able to create Levi's 2nd birthday cake...it's a yellow base cake, iced in butter cream & chocolate butter cream...the tractor is rice krispy treats, decorated in fondant & the fence is gum paste

here's a msg i received from Levi's mom after the party...
"Your cake was AWESOME!!! Levi was in awe of it (as well as all of the kids who kept running up to look at it and the adults!!) Not only was it amazing aesthetically, it was so delicious! One particular cake lover said it was absolutely one of the best cakes he's ever tasted! What an incredible talent you have!"

the order of cupcakes that i mentioned? i totally forgot to take a pic of them! :0( there were a dozen fudge chip cupcakes - all iced in green butter cream & topped with little fondant bananas...the mother of the birthday girl was going to try her hand at creating a monkey cake for her daughter...she wanted the cupcakes to go along with the cake, just in case it didn't turn out ;0)


then this morning, i had this cake picked up...

it was a small yellow cake, iced in butter cream & decorated with sugar flowers...a birthday gift from one sister, to another :0)

thx for looking!
