It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas

Once again the family has called upon me to make a cake for a family function.  Luckily, someone bought me this awesome snowman cake pan!

Halloween time again!  I saw a very similar cake in a Halloween party magazine and thought it simple enough.  Even though it was my husband's birthday, I made him cut the coffin shape.  Since I thought it was highly inappropriate to put "R.I.P." on a birthday cake, I used "R.H.B." which stands for Really Happy Birthday.

We're Just Two Lost Souls Swimmin' in a Fish Bowl

My oldest wanted a fish bowl cake.  I know there's no cake pan for that, so I have to start free thinking again.  We all saw what happened last time.  It wasn't pretty.

So I googled and I found a picture that was much better than this, but didn't have a gummy shark like mine.  I followed the directions pretty closely and ended up with this.  I think it turned out really cute and my 5-year old loved it but you know we had to sing pretty early because it started tipping over.

You live, you learn.

Welcome to the ScoobYard

Now that the twins are a little older, they're each into their own things.  Like for instance, one is really, REALLY into Scooby-Doo.  This cake was a huge pain in the ass.  First of all, see how many different colors I had to mix?  Second of all, it was my first experience with different texturing.  It took me a good number of hours and more than the recommended dosage of ibuprofen, but I think he looks pretty awesome.

 Now the other girls loves Pablo from The Backyardigans.  I myself love this show - especially the pirate episode.

This is What Happens

This is what happens when I decide to do a freehand cake.  Our good friend joined our church and we had a little celabratory dinner and of coarse being the cakemeister that I am, the family wanted me to make a cake.  Hmmmmm...what do you say about someone joining your church other than "Yay!"

I told you freehand is not my forte'.
