Was a ton of fun to work on this cake! A lot of little details, made it all come together!
From stitching the "leather together" to stringing the laces, all on top of a carved chocolate and raspberry delight!
The blade

A special thank you to my brother (an auto body technician - so he has an incredible eye for detail) for sticking with me to finish this cake! Four hands make two hours a lot more productive!

Draped Fondant, Quilted pattern, and a Designed Cross

Behold Children are a heritage from the Lord
....and the fruit of the womb is His reward

Had a lot of fun with this cake
with the quilted look, the draped fondant, and the pressed cross...
I've been struggling to blog about the different cakes right away, 
so when I finally find time to do it I almost forget
what I was going to write!

This cake was totally worth every second spent on it - to see the look on the little girls face when she came to pick it up! This is what I'm reminded of as I work on the cakes, that no matter how late it gets, how long I've been working on it already, just one more detail will totally make the cake!

Boston Cream in a Whole New Way

Imagine biting into this and discovering it`s not just you`re average cake, but a boston cream?

A fun alternative to a special day

Swirled Into a New Year

I remember when hand-painting on cakes first became big - never thought that I would get into it... however it`s one of those things, if you don`t jump on the bandwagon with both feet - you`re either going to drag behind everyone, or get left behind - both are good recipes for disaster if you are trying to succeed in anything. 
I have discovered so many different techniques and have grown to love spending the time, making sure each stroke is just how I like it, blending the colors, and making someone else`s day - just the way they envisioned it - I HOPE!

Curious George... and friends

Even the monkeys get royal treatment!
An elegant giant cupcake gets graced with monkeys, elephants, and lion... hmmm!
Super fun to model these cute creatures! To be honest, first time doing this for a cake...
I guess before it was all imagination with play-dough when I was a kid!
It's amazing how much we do as a kid carries over into our later years!

Congratulations Will & Lisa S. on your beautiful baby girl!!
Blessings to you as you bring her up in His ways
May she grow up to be a woman after God's own heart!
