made this little cake for my buddy kessler who turns three today! kessler wanted a race car cake with “fire”. which obviously means, “a sweet flaming paint job” to a 3 year old. and like all of the other things (baby, 1st bday, baby bro) i’ve made for his family, the color scheme was green. […]

one fish two fish.

fondant nurse decor
Isaacs pre-k teacher from last year called and asked if I could make some fondant decorations for a nurse cake she was making for an order. She asked for a stethoscope and some bandaids. I threw in some pills and a syringe, after perusing the wwweb for inspiration. Heres what I came up with:
