Sweet Celebrations

polka dot giraffe

I consider it an honor to do a first birthday cake.  That might sound cheesy and well I am pretty cheesy, but I think that's a pretty special birthday.  This time the honor was given to me by my very favorite hair stylist, Kimmy.  Kimmy has a cute little boy and they celebrated with a polka dot giraffe cake.

 

Two tiers of the cake were yellow and one was chocolate, all with cream cheese filling and buttercream icing.  The decorations were fondant.  The smash cake was a small yellow cake with a giraffe on top carved out of cake and covered with fondant.

 

Thanks for looking and have a super weekend!

 

curious george

A Curious George cake for a curious (not to mention adorable) little boy who turned one.  For another friend.  Another first birthday.  I love it!

The cake was all chocolate with fudge filling and buttercream icing.  All the decorations were marshmallow fondant.  Don't you love those little bananas? 

Happy Birthday Noah!!

  

dog bones

These cute little dog bone cookies were for Sassy's son whose third grade class has been reading the book "Because of Winn Dixie".  The cookies were peanut butter.  I haven't read the book, but apparently the peanut butter has something to do with it.  Very cute idea, I thought, and my cute-as-pie niece agreed.

  

And then she was all tuckered out and found a comfy spot on the floor to take a quick nap.

zebra stripes with green

Sorry I've been MIA lately.  I have a long list of excuses but who likes to hear excuses?  So I'll just move right along to the cake.  This was fun, easy and turned out really cute. 

 

a cute horse

This was a last minute cake, but I really like the way it turned out.  Proof that I really do better under pressure and without analyzing the design beyond belief.  :-)

It was a chocolate cake with cookies-n-cream filling and buttercream icing.  The horse was a frozen buttercream transfer.
