weekend cakes...

i had a MUCH slower cake weekend this time around...one cake for Saturday, one cake for Sunday...just right ;0)

first up was a construction cake for Brock...i've made Brock's baby shower cake & 1st birthday...this was for his 3rd birthday - & no monkeys this time ;0) instead, he's all about trucks...earth movers

it was a tier of almond cake, topped with a tier of spice cake - all iced in buttercream...the trucks are toys...the cones are fondant...the dirt & sand is graham crackers & chocolate cookies...& the rocks are chocolates (like M&M's)

here's a note i received from Brock's mama:
"Sharon, Brock's cake looked great and tasted great! Everyone was impressed! Thank you for making something that perfectly went with our construction party theme! I hope you are soon able to do this full time!"

then for Sunday, i had another 3rd birthday to create a cake for...this time, for Miss Emme - who loves what all 3yo girls love...alligators! ;0)

Emme's cake was white cake...iced in buttercream, then covered in green fondant & surrounded by blue buttercream "water"...only the cattail stems & sign posts are non-edible

Curtis delivered this one for me...he says Emme's mom jumped up & down, & squealed like a little girl when she saw her daughter's cake...i think that means she liked it...hopefully Emme did too! ;0)

thx for looking!
