weekend cakes...

first up was a dirtbike cake for Keller...4yo Keller was getting a dirtbike as his birthday present this year, so his parents wanted him riding on his cake...his dad sent me pics of both Keller & his new bike & i created them out of fondant...the cake is fudge chip on the bottom layer & strawberry up top...all filled in regular buttercream & iced in chocolate buttercream...the little rocks are chocolates & the trees are sugar cones

here's a note from Keller's mom:
"Keller loved his cake! He thought it was really cool. All the kids wanted to eat the motorcycle and the trees. As usual you did a fabulous job!"

next was a special cheerleading cake for Alexis...she actually designed her own cake - & had her dad email me her sketch...i hope that i helped create what she envisioned...it was a really great design! Alexis parents might have a future cake artist on their hands! ;0)

it was all wedding white cake, filled & iced in buttercream...i made all the decorations from fondant & handpainted Alexis' cheerleading group's logo on the front fondant circle

the little cheerleaders on top had wire support inside, but were made of fondant as well...of course, the flyer was supposed to be Alexis herself ;0)

here's a comment i got from Alexis' mom on Facebook...
"Thank you so much for making her design come alive. She loved her cake!!"

last, came this fun cake for Gavin...Gavin's future aunt delivered this cake 2hrs to get it to his party! (thx Tammy!)

it was all fudge chip cake, filled & iced in buttercream...i made all the decoration & trains from fondant...the sun is rice krispie treats inside

thx for looking!

& now, to announce the winner of this weekend's giveaway...
~lol~

well, since Jennifer was the ONLY one to enter, she's the big winner! congrats Jenn...we'll hook up & get those cupcakes to you soon ;0)

i guess i need to remember that just like me, folks can't check in every day...i should have left the comments open for a week or so to give everyone a chance...& i didn't announce this giveaway on my Facebook page, so that my regular blog readers would have a better chance to win (when i host a giveaway there, i have around 150 people enter)...plus i'm not all about blowing up my blog reader numbers - i like having my friends & family as readers...& i look at this blog as more of a journal, not really something i'm crazy about all my cake peeps reading...i guess maybe i need to get over that - sort of combine everything...because i'm also finding that since i update my FB pages & Twitter accounts often, i'm repeating a lot of stuff here - things my friends have already heard about somewhere else

anyway...regardless of the fact that this giveaway was a total bust, i still see my visitor numbers going up every day - so i know my regular folks keep coming back...& i thank u guys for that! :0)
