ASU Graduation cake

 It's graduation time!  For the guy who went to school to paint football fields at ASU, this was the perfect graduation cake.

Graduation Cupcakes

 When you attend a graduation to see that person you love on that great day this seems to see what you see when you look down at the sea of graduates. 

 We had fun with frosting, fondant, and cereal to make these tops of the heads of all these graduates. 

 This partially bald guy was my favorite.

 Call me for your special graduation cupcakes/cake.  I'd love to be a part of your special day too.

Beautiful birthday cake

 White cake decorated simply with fading turquoise and accented with frosting flowers.  A great mini cake for a special lady.

Pac Man

 I had fun doing these white cupcakes with chocolate frosting to look like a pac man board.  The accents are made with fondant.

sometimes things don't go the way you want them to

Even to someone who makes cakes/cupcakes/cake pops all the time there are days/weeks where things just don't seem to go right.  I was working on cake pops for a wedding, I was supposed to have 200 for the wedding.  Unfortunately it took me close to 450 cake pops to get the 200 un cracked ones. 

 So many a neighbor got to enjoy a few cracked cake pops. The frustrating thing is to know that you are doing things the exact same way you always do them, that you are using the same ingredients in the same way, yet for some reason it just doesn't seem to be working. I'm glad those are done and super glad when the next batch I had to do went off without any issues at all.

And if you drizzle another color on them it can cover many crack so neighbors don't hardl notice what's wrong.

Ducky Cake

 Congrats on the new little baby with this fun cake of water and bubbles with a few little ducks floating around in it.

Cake Reveal

It was so fun to do this cake reveal.  The mom and dad looked away during the ultra sound then delivered the envelope with the picture saying boy or girl to me.  I then made this cake with the appropriate color inside to annouce what they were having.  They gathered friends together and everyone watched as the mom cut into the cake to see what they were having. 

 Being a big sports family it was an easy choice to do a Blue vs Pink cake.  Especially when the house was pretty split on what was wanted. 

 But when the mom cut in and saw blue she screamed in happiness!  She won!  She got her boy!  So happy for her and her family.  So lucky to have been a part of such a fun way to announce to their friends and find out themselves what they were having.

 The cake is a white chooclate cake just colored with some blue coloring.
