anna kept telling me she wanted a foofa cake. (and/or a dog cake. and/or a monkey cake.) i looked around for ideas, wanting to stick with buttercream only, and came across a cute cake with the characters piped on the sides and an aquabats logo on time. instead of aquabats, i went with yo anna […]

race track cake
the grand finale cake. this one is an order. for isaac’s classmate. my two weeks of cakery have come to an end… yay! anyhooo… this thing is a beast. it’s 12×18. and will feed a small army of 5 year olds. some of it was really fun. some of it was really stressful. and, i’m […]
yellow bulldog cake
For my friend, z. The youngest of three boys. Who loves dogs. And yellow. And will be three tomorrow.
jesse’s monkey watermelon cake
despite a few setbacks this week, i still managed to get a cake put together for my pal, jesse, who turns four tomorrow. (ok, isaac’s friend. i’m more friends with his mom). first, isaac got sick. then, anna pulled my cooling cakes of the counter and carried them into the living room. then, anna got […]
there’s a wocket on my cake
Our friend graelyn is turning two. I think today, actually. And, though adamant about my hiatus, I convinced her mom I would be willing to make a cake for her, since we are pretty good pals. We compromised on me decorating a plain Costco cake, which I can completely get on board with, since I […]
propeller luigi and blue toad cake
i think the title speaks for itself. this cake is for caleb, the eldest of three boys, but with the third birthday in the calendar year. earlier this year, i made a james cake for jesse and a bulldog cake for ezra, caleb’s younger brothers. a very specific request, for his two favorite super mario […]
dixon wedding
as previously discussed, isaac was a ring bearer in a recent wedding of two friends. these two friends, to be exact: on top of providing the ring bearing cuteness, i also brought half of the wedding cupcakery. my friend regi (she’s awesome) provided a cake and the other half of the cupcakes. unfortunately, i didn’t […]
fondant sunbathers, basking in success
a few months ago, i ran into isaac’s teacher at joann fabrics (awkward story: i had picked him up early from school, picked up the babysitter, and dropped them at home so she could babysit while i selected fabrics. like any good mom would do.) anyhooooo… we chatted about cakes and fondant and buttercream and […]
woody and buzz cake
when parker was born, his mom immediately locked me in for his first birthday cake. unfortunately (not really), shortly after his birth, i discovered i was pregnant with the annababy. and she was born a few days before he turned one. so i had to pass on his first birthday cake. but, i made a […]
cake smashing.
i made (maybe i mentioned this) an 8 inch cake for the grownups and a 6 inch smash cake for anna. after our 1st birthday experience with isaac (he screamed the whole time and wouldn’t touch the cake), i figured we had nowhere to go but up… anna was a little apprehensive at first, but […]
