Baseball Baby Shower

 It was fun to do this baby shower for a great lady who loves her baseball.  How could the theme not be baseball when its her favorite?

Happy Birthday!

 Simple cupcakes with the ever popular chevron and some rub on's to add personality to the cake picks. 

Nautical Baby Shower

 It was fun to put together this nautical baby shower.  We did a cupcake tower cake.  It had both mini and regular cupcakes so people could try multiple flavors of cupcakes if they wanted to.  The stars and anchors used to decorate the cupcakes and cakes I made with white chocolate colored navy blue.

 The cupcakes were triple chocolate with chocolate whip cream frosting, lemon-lime cupcakes with lime butter cream frosting, orange dreamsicle cupcakes with butter cream frosting, and white chocolate with butter cream frosting.

 Saw the cute boat ideas on pintrist and had to add those for a little fun height.

 Along the bottom of the ckae are edible chocolate seashells and blue chocolate candies.  Ignore the messed up top border.  By the time I took this picture a little finger had adjusted the top border and I had yet to notice it to fix it.  It was fixed by the time the party started.

 I also was very happy with how the decorations I threw together turned out along with the diaper cake my daughter helped me to make. 

 All in all it turned out great with a few left over cupcakes to give to some great neighbors who helped out with the supplies for decorations that I didn't have.

Baby Shower for a little boy

 I was given a picture of the bedding, which was blue quilt with airplanes on it.  This was the cake I made to match the theme. 

Sandwhiches anyone?

 It was fun to make these hoagie sandwiches and fries for a teenager's birthday party

Per ideas given in a book I used an assortment of candies to make all the different things used on this and the Chinese take out.  I would just use fondant if I was to do it again. Though it looked cool, the mixture of flavors and textures left much to be desired.  Lesson learned.

 Close up of the fries with the ketchup cupcakes.  These were the favorite for everyone.  They took the red squeeze bottle of ketchup (red frosting) and would squeeze it on the fries just like they do a fast food place.  It was fun to watch them eat them.

 Loved the look of the hoagies and once you pulled off all the toppings of the sandwiches they tasted good.  Just don't eat it with the works the way they were.  One of the things I loved was adding the sesame seeds on top of the buns.

Happy Father's Day!

To the dad's who are just plain out of this world!

You Rock my world Dad!

To our dad who rocks our world!  We wouldn't change anything about you!

For the car loving man

Simple but yet getting to the heart of what this guy loves....cars, and more specifically his dream car a corvette.

Spaghetti and meatballs is every boys favorite treat

 We had fun making this spaghetti and meatballs cake for another teenager.  Boys love food.  He picked dreamsicle cake inside then topped with buttercream frosting and raspberry jelly and chocolate balls for meatballs.  We added some cinnamon breadsticks and pound cake with just a few sprinkles to make it look like garlic bread.

 What fun ideas for teenage boys or even adult boys as who doesn't love food?

For the sportsfan dad

It's amazing how different yet alike so many dads are.  Here are a couple of the sports I have done for dad's over the years for fathers day

Bowling ball for the bowling grandpa

 Basketball for the dad who thinks he's still 25 and can hold his own on the court

 Soccer for the dad who gets out and just plays around with his kids even when he doesn't know how to play

Baseball for the dad who loves to play catch with his sons or just watch games on TV.  The sports you can do for a dad is limitless but here were just a few I've done to get your mind working.

Father's Day is coming....do you have a treat in mind for your special dad?

What dad doesn't love a tasty treat?  Call if you need some for Father's Day

Sylander Cake

 This adorable cake was made with the theme of Skylander.  I hand made the little green "chompies" and the sheep.  The cake is both white chooclate and triple chocolate depending on the layers.

Ninjago Cupcakes

 One of the fun things about doing cakes is being kept in the loop of all the cool boy toys and cartoons.  I had to spend some time online figuring out what a Ninjago was to make these cupcakes.  They are half chocolate, half white all frosted with yellow butter cream than overlaid with fondant.
