After 14 months of saving up not-quite-yet-enough-$, my family and I will be traveling to Los Angeles for Thanksgiving, then off to Tahiti for my sister-in-law's wedding, and back to Los Angeles to spend the rest of December/Christmas/New Year Day with family & friends! My first flight in 14 months since we've moved here to VA last September; we are way overdue! But before I start my dreaded packing , I received my last cake request this week:  Bouncing around ideas for a girly birthday, my client sent me some photos of a MAC makeup cake.  So here it is! Cake: Marble Butter Cake Filling: Vanilla Buttercream Frosting: Fondant Cake toppers: fondant makeup :) Best way to bake my last cake in VA for the year! Happy Birthday, India!    

I was asked to create a birthday cake for a 70th birthday.  He is a musician, plays the guitar, and served in the Air Force.  So I thought to combine all three by making a fondant guitar, a variety of music notes, and the Air Force emblem for the cake toppers. Theme: Music Notes, Guitar, Air Force Colors: Black & White Vanilla Gold Butter Cake Vanilla Buttercream Frosting Happy 70th Birthday Jack!

I received an adorable request to create a Baby Shower Cake. I was told the theme was Princess & the Frog, so I decided to go along with the theme and create a 2 tier cake with Princess Tiana (frog) with a Princess blanket, and a baby bottle.  I LOVE babies! Cake: Red Velvet Cake Filling: Cream Cheese Frosting Cake Icing & Toppers: Cream Cheese Frosting covered in Fondant, Fondant Princess Tiana (frog), Baby bottle, & Pink Princess Blanket Congratulations to Kimpa, can't wait to meet your little princess!
