August was cake month

The month of August was all about cake. The third week in particular as I did three cakes that week and had to turn down three others. I did develop a good system though, it was a great learning experience and I am still learning so much and experimenting with new ideas all the time. Now that I don't have any orders in the pipeline I will have to try to have fun with some new recipes and flavors.

This was a Birthday cake for all the grandkids' birthdays, they celebrate together once a year. This was the most challenging cake, nothing wanted to cooperate for me. I finally gave up on making tinkerbell and spiderman and bought the candles. The cell phones, flat screen tv and princess I made out of fondant.


Monkey for a 1st birthday boy complete with his own cake for mess making.
I made the bananna out of fondant




Groom's cake - a tree stump with a little tackle box and fishing pole





this was one of the easiest cakes as all you have to do is splotch the icing on, the messier the better



Spiderman cake for a little boy's birthday. I used cookie icing for spidey right from the grocery store as I have tried and tried to make my cookie icing with different flavors but it has never tasted as good as the store bought version.
