Hello Kitty

The original idea for this cake was found on the House of Kitty blog. It was nice to make a "girly" cake! With 3 boys, I don't usually get the chance to tiny my frosting pink!!! But to my surprise, the boys didn't walk by and scoff at my little pink cake all decked out in cuteness... they walked by and said "Awwww, Mom. That's really cuuutee!" Hehehe... Don't tell them I told you!

Darth Vader Cake 3D

On May 4th, I got on Facebook after I dropped my boys off at school. I saw a few of my friends wishing people a "Happy Star Wars Day" and a bunch of people saying "May the Fourth be with you." At first I thought there was some inside joke about a speech impediment... you know, force, forth. ;) Then I wondered, no, maybe the forth of something... but, may the fourth of "what" be with you? It didn't dawn on me until later (When my sweet thang kindly told me it was May the 4th... like the date) what they were talking about. I laughed, and then channeled the force (or the 4th), because this was the day I was going to tackle my very own sculpted Darth Vader head. I was a little freaked out.

I figured it would either look like Vader, or Java the Hut.

Here is the structure of his big old head before the carving began!

 And just for laughs, I had to throw this in! This is classic.... 5 year old helps mom make frosting. Gets over ambitious when dumping sugar into mixer, and nails mom's foot and leg. Mom at first says "OH NO!" Then after .30 seconds, asks frantic son who is saying "I'm sorry! I'm sorry--- I will clean you off!" to get the camera thus confusing the heck out of him... "What? You think this is funny?"he asks me... Umm... Yes. Yes I do.

My Jedi senses are tingling...

Something very dark will be appearing in a week and a half. In the mean time, may the force be with you .

Hawaiian paradise cake

The bottom layer of the cake is an orange flavored cake with a creamy french vanilla filling. The top layer of the cake is a banana cake also filled with the creamy french vanilla yummy-ness. The whole cake was covered with buttercream frosting and then airbrushed.

The hibiscus and plumeria were also airbrushed.

Space shuttle and Astronaut cake

This is a cake that I did for my son's 7th birthday. He is really into NASA, and outer space, so he wanted that on his cake. Since it's midnight, and I'm not feeling all that witty right now, I have nothing else to say... so here's the pictures. Enjoy!

Spring cupcakes

I had the urge a while ago, to make some springy little cupcakes. I wanted a variety of colors and designs since I couldn't decide... so I made 52 cupcakes just because, and had the boys deliver them to the neighbors so I didn't eat them all. I have a serious addiction to cake, cupcakes and treats. I saw an for a Whopper the other day, and my first thought was "Oh funny. Someone made a cheeseburger cake!" Sick. Just sick. 

Gibson Firebird Cake

My uncle bought himself a new guitar not that long ago, so when it was time for his birthday, it was a no brainer on what kind of cake to make him. Since I was making the cake at home, and then bringing it to my Grandma's house, I wanted to make the transporting of the cake easier. Knowing me, I'd break the neck off the body on the way there, and then I might just cry. So, I made the neck of the guitar separate from the body of the guitar, and it was detachable. It was super easy to transport this way... and it didn't break!
