The Ultimate Little Mermaid

So.. one of my friends asked if I would make an Ariel cake for her daughter. Well.. after watching too much television about baking.. cake boss. dc cupcakes.. i decided i can't make just some cake.. we gotta make it BIG! Halfway through I thought What WAS I THINKING!! and at the end.. i decided.. THIS WAS SO WORTH IT~ We made difference scences.. my first thought was to put the cakes together on a rectangle.. have a circle for the witch.. the ship in the middle on the rectangle.. and the three tier in the back.. However, days before I had a mental attack thinking its not going to work.. I am not sure why.. i just had this deep gut feeling I was going to ruin her birthday. So after some rethinking Heather had the idea to use a three tier plate rack she had. Thankfully. dollar store sells pretty flat plate. I got three and Poof.. big display for 3 bucks ;)!

Pea in the Pod

My bunko group recently had a surprise baby shower for one of the girls in our group. I decided to do one of my favorite themes the pea in the pod. This was lots of fun and I loved making the little face and curl. This was an easy cake that even a beginner could do :) It is mostly balls and I used toothpicks for the mouth and hat. I also used edible markers to make the eyes :) Good LUCK~

June.. time to start planning for January Birthday~~

well it's the halfway point of the year.. I am starting to roll ideas around for a Wizard's of Waverly Place party for my daughter. I have found a few great ideas, but there is not a lot out there. If anyone has any ideas throw them at me. So far I found cute decorations, table settings, we will make subs, magic wands, lotion potion with colored jars with glitter etc.. This is one of my favorite Disney shows so I am excited about making this one really fun for her~

Wedding Shower Cake

I made this cake for my brother in law's bride to be. Their colors were pink and black for the wedding. I had trouble finding the right color rose the day before. However, most people did not notice that part! It was super easy. The trick to adding ribbon to your cake is to cut wax paper to put right behind it. I laid down the ribbon and trimmed wax paper to match it. If you do not add the paper the buttercream will bleed through the ribbon and look a hot greasy mess!
I also attached pictures of my husband and I with our children at the wedding. It was a beautiful and fun night ;)
