In a galaxy far far away...
Guess what my nephew's birthday party theme was. The death star is made of Rice Krispies.

Ladybugs everywhere!
My niece had a ladybug themed birthday party and I am so happy with how the cake turned out. My sister in law found an idea for using M&Ms for the ladybugs...cute and yummy.

Surprise!

This was the cake for Rusty's surprise party. We had a 30th B-Day/30th Olympics Games celebration. As you can see, the theme was the host nation, Great Britain. It turned out better than I expected, but without Liz to talk me down during my usual decorating "freak-out" I was a little hypertensive.

Way overdue...sorry Liz

Liz has been asking me to post these for so long. Unfortunately I am blog-illiterate so it has taken me a while to work up the nerve to attempt such a feat : )

Soccer Cake

This is the cake that I made with my nephew for his 5th B-Day. He put all the decorations on...so I have to give him credit for the "cool part". He's pretty proud, as you can tell.

Duckling Cupcakes

Here are the ducking cupcakes that I made for my niece's 1st birthday a couple months ago. She had such a good time destroying her little cake and the ducks were delicious! Thanks to Liz for the instructions for these cute little guys.

Liz, I hope that you are proud of me!

Happy Halloween!

In honor of Halloween we made some special cake pops. In my completely unbiased opinion I think they are super cute/totally frightening. It's a difficult balance to achieve, but I think we somehow managed it :-)

We made SKULLS...

and GHOSTS...


and even MUMMIES! (I think the mummies were my personal favorite! I love the green eyes.)


The best part was that the inside was orange! It doesn't get much more Halloween-y than that!


All in all, I think it made for a pretty SPOOK-tacular sight! Thanks to Britany and Anel for all of the help.

It's 'Arry 'Otta!

That's right, it's Harry Potter! Last night we were inspired to make butterbeer flavored cupcakes and golden snitch cake pops. They taste AMAZING and I think they look pretty impressive, too. I just love Harry Potter and it totally took me back to the good times we had at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Orlando. Gotta love it!

We used this recipe.

I was super happy with the way they turned out. Thanks to Britany and Sara for all the help :-) I'm totally a HP fan for life!

G'Day from Down Under!

I haven't baked since I moved into my new apartment and I decided that yesterday was the day to make it happen. I decided that I wanted to make koala cake pops and I think they are pretty much adorable! One of my co-residents came over and helped me make them and I think they turned out great. My favorite part is the black jelly bean nose. It's so perfect! And as always, the cake pops were of course delicious.
