So, I started a new job at the Bannock County

Treasurers Office. This week we are stuffing 25,000-

30,000 tax notices. So, I thought that I would make a cake to 

thank the volunteers who came to help us.

#unclesamecake

 This cake really challenged me mentally.

My friend, who asked me to make this for her dad,

believed in me all along. I, however, doubted myself. 

It is so good to be on this side of doubt, to see that 

I am capable of being stretched out of my comfort zone

 and accomplishing something like this.

Happy Retirement, Don. And, Kristen, thank you

for believing in me!

Hello Kitty and Monsters Inc.

 Every year, my  husband wants a Star Wars

themed cake. He doesn't care what is on it,

as long as it has something to do with Star Wars.

Well...this summer we all got tattoos and this

Hello Kitty Boba Fett was the tattoo I wanted him to get.

Instead, he got some other, more "manly" SW related

tattoo. So, I put the Hello Kitty Boba Fett on his 

birthday cake and, he loves it!

This cake was for my frequent customer's daughter. 

She wanted Sully from Monsters Inc. I also made

 6 "Mike" cupcakes to place around Sully. I think

it turned out pretty darn cute!

Scrapbook Cake

 This was a very fun cake to make. 

It was for an incredibly sweet woman who had 

just turned 60. I was blessed to meet her the week

before and the minute I met her, the cake came together

 in my mind. She loves scrapbooking.

 Her daughter threw her surprise party for her 

and I was able to stay for the "SURPRISE!" and 

to see her face when she saw the cake. 

You can tell she is a very loved and loving lady.

Happy 60th Birthday, Carol!

This cake was spice with fluffy-smooth cream cheese buttercream filling.

All the pieces were edible with the exception of the binders 

which had wire inside coffee stirrers and then were covered with fondant.

Colt's Construction Cake

This cake was made for a sweet 3 year old boy

named Colt. Colt's mom is one of the sweetest

women that I know. She always has a smile on her

face. Her kids are well-mannered and a blessing to be

around. I hope that the family enjoyed Colt's

construction cake! This cake was White Almond Sour Cream

 with raspberry buttercream filling.

Yeee Haw! Dukes of Hazard cake

My neighbor and her grandson were out in their front yard late one night, 

waiting for the International Space Station to go overhead when Ethan said,

"Grandma, do you think Kristi knows the General Lee?" Puzzled, my neighbor said,
"What do you mean?" "For my birthday cake!" Ethan said. How sweet!

Boy, do I know the General Lee! Growing up,The Dukes of Hazard was one of my

 favorite TV shows. What a pleasure to make a "General Lee" cake for Ethan.

This cake was chocolate with Vanilla Oreo cookie buttercream filling. Yummm!

Fun Polka Dot Cake

This cake was done for a friend's sister-in-laws 30th (as you can tell)

birthday! I thought it turned out really well and looked like a lot of fun.

#polkadotcake #30thbirthdaycake

Cookies? What have I gotten myself into now?

Well, this is an all-new endeavor. A friend

 of mine asked if I decorated cookies. Truth be told,

not until now! But, always ready to try something new,

I accepted the challenge. She asked if I would make them for 

her friend who lives in Syracuse, NY. Her friend works for

Boxcar Press in customer relations, hence the boxcar and the 

girl at the computer!

Cake Pops Galore

This was the wedding of my mother-in-law's niece. 

The bride contacted me in January to see if I would make 

200 cake pops for her wedding and sent me the picture of the 

idea she had for a cake/cake pop stand. I was excited and nervous.

The most cake pops I had ever made at one time was around 50.

About a month ago, she asked me if I would be willing to make 300 instead!

I said I would. When it was all said and done, I made 322! 

On the wedding day, my brother-in-law and nephew helped me assemble the 

cake pop cake. When we were done assembling it, I walked around the 

front of the table and screamed! I couldn't hold it in! It looked just as we

had hoped it would and everything worked out so well. Praise God!

So much fun. Honestly, it brought tears to my eyes and joy to my heart!

Fiftieth Anniversary Cake

Happy 50th Anniversary,

Dan and Raedean!

I made these cakes for a friend who's in-laws were celebrating

their 50th. It was a "from scratch" carrot cake with cream cheese

buttercream frosting. Yum!

Birthday cake and Graduation cake

This cake was actually made for 5 birthdays! However, the 

person whose birthday was on the day the cake was delivered 

is the one whose name I put on top. The rest of the names are around

the sides. My friend, Lynette, had dropped by earlier in the day 

and stayed to watch me decorate this cake. She had some good

ideas about the eyes, nose and mouth (which are the parts I 

have the hardest time with). So I scrapped my original plan

 and did what she suggested. I think it turned out much better than 

it would have. Thanks, Lynette! And, Happy Birthday, Allie, Evie, Kelley, 

Dillon, and Rachel!

This is a college graduation cake for my neighbor's daughter.

She is an amazing woman. A single mom, she has persevered 

through 6 years of college and is now off to be a Special Ed

teacher. She found a cake on Pinterest and asked if I could recreate

it. Honestly, and I rarely give myself props, I think I did a much 

better job than the original picture! This was  a very fun cake to make.

Confirmation Cake and Crime Fighters

This cake was for my neighbor's grandson's Confirmation.

It was the first time I had made a book cake. I think it turned out

very nice. The bookmark is fondant.

#confirmationcake  #bookcake

Happy 5th Birthday, Nick. Scooby says, "Rooby rooby roooooo!"

This was such a fun cake to make. The dog biscuits are made from

modeling chocolate and are completely edible. Yumm!

A Skiing Birthday and Polka Dots Galore!

 This cake is for a sweet little girl who loves skiing! It was a chocolate cake with chocolate 

buttercream filling. Happy Birthday, Ryann!
#girlskiingcake

These two cakes were for my dear client's husband's 40th and her dad's birthday.

She is such a dear person. The skiing birthday cake for Ryann was her order also.

Knowing that I had a lot on my plate, she requested easier cakes for her husband and her dad

since they were all due the same week. So the 40th cake is also Chocolate with Chocolate 

buttercream. The cake for "Pop" is Spice with Almond buttercream. YUM!

Polly Pocket birthday

This was a fun Polly Pocket cake for a sweet little 5 year old.

#pollypocketcake

Hello Kitty and Heirlooms

This is a Hello Kitty cake that had mustaches all along

the side and she had a mustache. The young lady likes Hello Kitty and mustaches are such a trend now that her sweet aunt thought that this

would be a fun way to incorporate both! I think it turned out cute.

#HelloKittyCake #mustachecake

This is an "Heirloom" Baby Shower Cake. I just met the young mother-to-be. She told me that they were celebrating her mom's 50th and the baby.

They decided to do an "Heirloom" baby shower. The items given to

the baby would be something that he would one day pass down to his

kids. This was a fun cake because it was for a new customer and I had

 the priviledge of meeting her parents; they were all so sweet I just thought,

"What a joy to meet such wonderful people!" I love that cake decorating has

afforded me that opportunity!
