this week's cakes...

u might remember Cindy? well, Miss Cindy put the petal to the metal after the wedding, & scored herself a bun in the oven right away! ;0) because i love this girl so much, i took it upon myself to throw her an office shower this past Tuesday...oh yeah, if i haven't mentioned it before - we are not only friends & cake cohorts, but we also work for the same software company

another thing we have in common? we both LOVE Cake Wrecks!!! so, i had to honor that by giving her what else, but...carrot jockeys! unfortunately, mine did not have mohawks :0( but they still were pretty cute ;0)

in case u've been hiding under a rock, & aren't in on the Cake Wrecks fun - here's some info on the three wrecks i included on Cindy's cake above

i think she had fun...& she left with a lot of loot! ;0) i can't wait for October to get here, so i can squeeze that little booger!

my weekend of cakes started early this time around...on Friday, i had to deliver two - one was this fun tiki for Becca's 14th, luau-themed, birthday...it was 2 tiers of fudge cake, iced in buttercream & decorated with fondant bamboo & palm trees, sugar flowers, & a tiki on top (sculpted styrofoam, covered in fondant & painted with food gels)

the 2nd was sort of a follow-up cake...Alyx celebrated her 9th birthday last month, by having a joint party with her big sis - remember the plaid cupcakes? this cake was to celebrate her actual birthday - today! she wanted to combine her 2 favorite teams - so i decorated the cake in VA Tech & Pittsburgh Steelers colored fondant...inside was confetti cake, iced in buttercream :0)

then today, i delivered 2 more cakes...1st was this sweet ladybug cake - for a little one, just as sweet...Miss Grace was super excited when i showed up to the party - her mom told me that all she's said she wanted for her birthday was cake! my kinda girl! ;0)

this cake was all yellow, filled with lemon buttercream & iced in light pink buttercream...i decorated the cake with pink & black fondant, & made the topper from styrofoam, decorated with fondant

& i've already gotten a note from Grace's mom...gotta love Facebook! ;0)
"Thank You so much for making Grace's birthday cake, not only was it adorable the cake itself was soooo good. :) You truly are really talented!"

& look - she matched her cake! :0)

and last, came yet another cake for Cindy! she didn't know about this one though...her mom secretly contacted me to also make Cindy a cake for her family shower ;0)

it was yellow cake, iced in buttercream...i made my famous fondant baby to top the cake, & little fondant baby laundry to decorate the sides

& now...i'm done for the weekend!
by 1pm on a Saturday?!

unheard of! ;0)
