Greg's Birthday

This year for Greg's birthday we made cupcakes. We were trying to think of something appropriate to honor Greg and since he is starting his perio residency next year we decided that a perio probe was more than appropriate! All our instruments at school have "Hu-Friedy" written on the handle, which is the name of the company that makes them. We carefully calibrated the measurements on the probe end and wrote "Hu-Friedy" on the handle just to make a more accurate representation. Emily also picked up a cookie cake for him. We didn't make it, but the cookie cake and cupcakes made a good combo!

Elaina's 5th Birthday

This year for Elaina's birthday she decided she wanted a Justin Bieber cake. I have no idea how she knows who Justin Bieber is (I mean seriously, she's only 5!) but I do think that the cake was pretty Bieber-tastic. Do you have Bieber fever? Kudos to Sara...she was definitely the brains and muscle behind this beauty!

Monster Cupcakes

For a faculty member's birthday we made these monster cupcakes. They came in different shapes and sizes, including little cyclops mini cupcakes. They were a big hit at school!

Sara's Birthday Cupcake Extravaganza

This year for Sara's birthday we decided to decorate cupcakes...about a million of them. We had mini cupcakes, normal sized cupcakes, large cupcakes, and one giant cupcake. We had a few different types of flowers that we decorated the cupcakes with. By the time we had all 50 or so cupcakes decorated it was a pretty impressive sight!

BCS National Championship

In honor of the last BCS Championship game that we would celebrate together as dental students, Alex and Greg invited everyone over to watch the game. Emily and I made this football cake as our contribution to the celebration, complete with grassy surroundings. Pretty impressive :-)

James's 30th Birthday

Traci's husband James recently turned 30. Although he had an ice cream cake, we decided to make a few cupcakes as well. Since he loves German chocolate and the Boston Red Sox, we combined the two to make some wicked awesome cupcakes.

Traci's Birthday Masterpiece

This year for Traci's birthday, we made a fondant masterpiece. We made the flowers from gum paste, covered them in shimmer powder, and put them on a beautifully covered fondant cake. It was pretty impressive, if I do say so myself :-)
