The First Legal Friend

Robert has frequented the blog before. He was the lucky boy to get the reenactment cake of his run-in with a deer. :) Regardless, Robert was the first of my group of friends to turn 21!! Here is where it all started. Our friend Scheck had a co-op at a construction site, and they let him take this construction sign as a parting gift. He made it into a pong table for Robert!

So Emily, Robert's girlfriend, helped me recreate the pong table into a cake!! Just plain vanilla cake with buttercream icing. But I tried something new. The spilled "beer" is actually melted sugar! I have seen sugar work done on so many cake and sweets shows, so I figured we could try it. It was a bit hard to work with at first, but it turned out perfect. This was the first round set up at my house.
And this is at Robert's party, with his pong table as the display table. I don't like to make appearances on my own blog, buttttttt I really loved this cake and it was for a special guy. (Yes, this was an empty beer can that was drunk by an over 21-year old)
Happy Birthday Roberto!!! You are such a wonderful friend and one of those brothers I never had. I hope you had a great time at your party. I know we all did. Love ya buddy! -Sarah

Pretty in Pink

One of my former teachers, who also belongs to my parish, asked me to do her daughter's birthday cupcakes. Catherine was very specific with what she wanted. But it was no problem :)

She asked for chocolate cupcakes, with pink wrappers, pink icing, chocolate shavings, and a strawberry on each one.

They turned out extremely cute and smelled absolutely delicious!!
I hope you had a great birthday Catherine!

Jackpot!

This cake was for Kayleigh's grandpa's 60th birthday. She was my twinkle dancer who ordered the super colorful first communion cake. Her mom asked me to make her father in law's birthday cake.
He loves going to the Casinos, and Carrie thought a slot machine would fit him perfectly! It turned out super cute! Hope it was a wonderful time! :)

Firecracker Baby

My grandma asked me to make my Aunt Annie's birthday cake this year. Annie is her first born, and her and my late grandpa's firecracker baby. She always gets to celebrate with fireworks with having an independence day birthday!

Chelsea, one of my best friends and blog frequenters, helped me with this one. We LOVED the colors.
The inside was chocolate cake, raspberry buttercream and chocolate ganache filling. That just screams Annie. It was pretty delicious!! Hope you enjoyed it Annie and I hope you had a wonderful birthday!!

Saint Paws to C Paws

I danced with Ali for 2 years, but it seems so much longer than that! She is an awesome dancer and such a fun person to be around. So I was so happy when her mama asked me to do her cake for her graduation party. Here it is! ( Another fellow Seton Saint)
Our parents have become very good friends over the past few years. Our dads are TOTAL dance team dads. If there's an asymmetric formation, non-pointed toes, big fall, or unsynchronized straight leg sequence, these guys will tell you! And after dancing with Ali at Seton, she will be making us all proud as a University of Cincinnati Bearcat Dancer! I can't wait to come and watch you and Ash. And I am so glad I got to spend the time dancing with you like I did! You're awesome A Rebz :) love you!

Krista's Birthday

If any of you remember Krista's cake from last year, it was the Hello Kitty 2-tier pink cake. This year, she asked for an elaborate cake- 2 tiers. Strawberry cake with pink icing. bottom layer sparkly pink on the fondant. top layer cheetah print with a little sparkly pink band. but this is what her cake and cake display ended up like:

Yes, she still loved them!


Pink, hello kitty, pink, cheetah print, and pink. Did I mention Pink!?! All of K buddy's favorite things in one! She loveddddd it all. Even down to the pink victoria's secret boxes for her display. Which she asked by the way: "ooh! Is there anything in those!?" Sorry Krista :) Hope you had a great Birthday. love you :)
