Girl Scout Time............Bridging Cake


Girl Scouts are All Fun All The Time..........and my Girl Scout troops have a big celebration at the end of every school year. This year we had cake with half Banana and half Chocolate Chocolate Chip..........all Vanilla Buttercream.

The design was simple - right off of the Bridging Programs in colors that matched our personalities.

Girl Scouts Rock!!

Rock Climbing Cake



Just a quickie - I can't believe I didn't take a picture of the fondant climber guy I made to go with this cake - or the top of the cake - or the whole thing together. Pretty sure that I did......can't find them anywhere.

So this is it - 1 picture. The birthday boy asked for a Rock Climbing theme'd cake. In Camo.....really? Yeppers - he loves camo colored stuff - not so hard - kinda. Can't mix the colors all that much because you could end up with some awful color. In the end it turned out really cute!!

Cake was Chocolate. Icing was a Chocolate Buttercream. Covered in a Vanilla Fondant and some Vanilla Buttercream tinted green for the base and red for the writing.

Here Comes the Bride


This was soooooo much fun to make. Yet at the same time it just about drove me to tears when I was actually creating it.

The event was a Bridal shower. The bridesmaid throwing the party gave me a swatch of fabric and said "make something cute - I totally trust you". Since she is a friend I figured that it needed to be something SUPER CREATIVE because it is a goal to impress all friends with wonderful things that they are deserving of. And then I found a picture of a cake with dresses like these on a cake.

Of course figuring I could do it I picked that as my pattern. And Good Gravy was I mildly regretting it when I realized I had little clue as to what to do with fondant when working with intricate surfaces and not simple flat lines.

In the end - after much self cursing - I won the battle and this super cute cake was completed!!

Marble cake - dresses are yellow and chocolate - Vanilla Buttercream icing under the fondant and on the half sheet cake. All yum!!
