Happy Birthday Maddie!

I know I did a tri-cake for all the Vaughn kiddies last week, but this one was for Maddie's Luau/Pool party with all her girlfriends from school.
She's such a sweetie. She kept telling me how much she loved the cake. Hope you had a fun party Maddie girl!!

Another Marathon Cake Weekend

First cake of the weekend has been in the works for awhile. Cathy is another former grade school teacher of mine, and this weekend her daughter, Riley turned 6! I was in her class when she was pregnant with her and now I can't believe Riley is already in kindergarten! This girl LOVES the movie Tangled and Rupunzel! So what would be more fitting than a Rupunzel cake?

From what I heard, Riley loved her cake! The tower was the first time I've ever sculpted/molded with rice krispie treats. It was a bit difficult, and the tower wasn't perfect, but it turned out pretty well I think!
The next cake was another fun one for my Vaughn family. It was a "happy birthday, baptism!" party. Luke turned 6 at the start of July and Maddie turned at at the start of August. And this past weekend, sweet Karli was baptized. So Julie asked me to make a cake for the whole occasion. Each one got their own tier. Maddie and Luke had already told me what kinds of things they wanted on their cakes, so those were easy. Luke is a KILLER baseball player- well sports player- all around. And Maddie is so into bright colors, hearts, peace, signs, polka dots, Justice clothes- so she wanted the hearts and bright colors. And Karli's tier was a strawberry cake since it was pink! :)
This was a fun one to do, and it was so cute to see how happy Maddie and Luke were that they each got their "own" cake (tier) even though they shared their birthday party! Love you guys!
And if anyone remembers Ali, she requested the zebra print cake for her birthday last year. Her mom, Emily, asked me to do her cake, and I'm so glad I was able to get it in this weekend. Emily said Ali now LOVES Harry Potter (only the good guys). So it took me awhile, but I finally figured out how to do something HP. Here is the Gryffindor crest (HP, Ron, and Hermione's house). Ali still thought I couldn't make her cake, so when she walked in and saw me standing there, she ran over to the counter and saw her cake. Her eyes lit up! It was precious! Ali's family is close friends of my mom's family, so I was happy to squeeze this cake in. :)
