Baby Cakes

I made this cake for my friend Alissa who was hosting a baby shower.  The sex of the baby is unknown, so she went with a design to match the decor which was cute little animals.  Was having a hard time with my bow because it was so humid that day in Monterey...which leads to limpy fondant...but it managed to keep a decent shape.

Sunflower Bouquet

The teachers at Marshall Elementary are keeping me very busy with cookies for birthdays.  There was a request for a bouquet of sunflowers in a pot, so I made this with little tags on each one wishing the teacher a very happy birthday.

Special Celebration

My dear old (as in I have known her from high school) friend Devry asked me to make some cookies for her Mom and Dad's Birthdays/Anniversary Party.  Her Dad is a Retired Marine, and her Mom is from Holland, and they were celebrating their 39th Wedding Anniversary and both of their birthdays.  So I made the Marine Uniform for her Dad, the Dutch Tulips for her Mom, and the wedding cake to celebrate their Anniversary..so wish I could have hand delivered them...love that family!!

Teacher Birthday

I made these Chalkboard cookies for the 2nd grade teachers at Bradley's school to give to a fellow teacher who's birthday was the first day of school.

Mom's Wedding Cake

So, few people can say they made their own Mom's wedding cake...but I can!  The nuptuals took place a few months ago.  I drove the half-finished cake down to southern Orange County, and finished it once I got there.  It was a little stressfull, but well worth it!  I used a stencil technique on top of Fondant.

I also made diamond ring cookie favors for the reception.

Pamper Party

This is the kind of wedding shower I want to go to...a girls day laying by the pool getting pedicures.  I made these flip flop cookies with matching polish for the bride-to-be and her girls.  My friend and customer Laurie McWatt Davis, who now owns her own special events planning business Circle the Date Events in Yuma AZ, ordered these for one of her brides. 

Hello 30!

I got a call from my friend Lisa's husband.  He needed a birthday cake for her 30th Birthday.  I asked him what kind of design for the cake, and then I paused and said..wait a minute..of course it has to be Hello Kitty because she is a die hard fan.  That's what he said anyway, so it had to be done.  I went a little more "Sophisticated Kitty".
