Wow Wow Wubbzy
It's been so long since I've had a small child watching tv at my house, that I wasn't familiar with Wubbzy. But I was sent an invitation to use as a pattern, and sweet little Max (and his mommy & daddy) was happy with his cake.

Bailey's Barbie Cake
Sweet Bailey turns 8 years old today! When I dropped her cake off at her house, it was decked out in pink, pink and more pink. :) Her mom gave me a tablecloth to use as reference for her cake & this is what I came up with. Happy Birthday Bailey!

A busy day @ The Sweet Life
SO incredibly thankful for the blessings in this business. Doing cakes for ladies such as Nancy, who has been known (so I'm told) to give and do for and serve others so freely in her life, makes me all the more blessed for being a part of her 60th surprise birthday celebration! She is a Mary Kay consultant, so pink & black were the colors and "theme" of choice for her cake. This cake was chocolate with raspberry filling for the bottom tier, and white with raspberry filling for the top tier. All iced in buttercream with fondant "MK products" on top.
Halloween cutesy fun was the "theme" of the cupcakes for today...can't wait to hear if they lasted until the party tomorrow evening or if they dug in as soon as I closed the door. They were all chocolate with buttercream frosting.

Cutesy Halloween Birthday
The little girl who this was for had drawn me a picture of what she wanted, but when they ordered it, she had forgotten to bring the picture with her. So, her instructions were that the cake had to be purple, and have on it a black cat, pumpkins, tombstones and ghosts. This was the design I came up with.
She and mom came to pick it up, and mom was very pleased. Grace, not so much. I'm sure it didn't look like her picture she'd drawn, and that's what she had in her mind that she wanted.
I think it turned out pretty cute, and I hope that Grace finally came around to liking her cake. :) I LOVE the candor and honesty of kids. :)

I'm thankful for the lessons and the client was pleased. :) (and my husband pointed out that I had very willing guinea pigs ready and waiting for the "practice" cakes)
