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. :)
Big 5 year old now!! Purple and pink are her absolute FAVORITE colors
Her face was PRICELESS! She had the biggest smile and giggles as soon as she looked out the door and saw my car in the driveway. Those are the moments when all the hardwork becomes worth it! :) Happy birthday Miley!
Chelsea and I have been best friends since the first week of freshman year of high school. She gave the biggest attitude to a teacher behind his back and I knew she was sweet! But seriously- that's how we became best friends. I just wish I would be 21 already so I could celebrate with her, but I guess that will have to wait until mine in January. She had quite the successful 21st bday weekend though. :)
Chels- these past several months have been exceptionally crazy for us, but we've made it this far! :) Thanks for stickin' this crazy thing out with me. #life tehe had to hash tag it. She will be my bestie forevski- thanks for coining that term to! love you so much! -sarah
Top of the cake- skull and cross bones
Happy Birthday Brady! Hope you enjoyed your day! :)
A month or so after the shower, and during a long dance team weekend, little Grace came into the world!! :) I am so happy for you and Mike, Valarie! Grace is lucky to have you as a mommy! You are wonderful, and will do a wonderful job as a mom! Love ya!
She's such a sweetie. She kept telling me how much she loved the cake. Hope you had a fun party Maddie girl!!

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)
