Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two cookies...err, I mean bodies.
 
These cookies were made for a lot of Grade 3 kids having a Valentine's party, as well as a work bake sale.  All proceeds going towards an upcoming trip to Haiti.
 
These are butter sugar cookies with royal icing and sugar paste accents (and pretty terrible pictures taken with an iPhone).  My camera has not shown up since my big move...so making do!

Aaahhhh...it's a Snake Cake


I got to dip my toes back in the water and what was in there, but a snake!   The first cake that I have made since moving to Calgary, Canada and it was for my son's ninth birthday.  He really wanted a snake, so I unpacked all of my cake supplies and got to work.  With some help from my sister and a little midnight oil this was the result....

Same name different location

Hey y'all!   This is a bittersweet post for me to be making, but after being fortunate enough to experience and enjoy life in The Woodlands, TX for the last several years we have relocated.  My husband accepted a work position in Calgary, AB, Canada and we have spent the summer setting up life here.  As we embark on this new journey we really have no idea what life has in store for us, but we look forward to enjoying all of the things that Calgary has to offer over the next few years (which also means a lot of winter clothes for us that we don't have yet) :))  I'm not sure if this new life involves cake decorating yet, but you never know.  Stay tuned for future updates!!

Haven't you always wanted a Monkey?


Here is a cake that was made for a special girl celebrating Birthday number 8!  She adores Monkey's and was very thoughtful in deciding her cake design.  She chose this herself from a helium balloon design that she found on the internet.  The cake is a carved sheet cake with fondant accents.  The legs and arms are made of krispy treats.  Cake is a white cake with chocolate ganache filling and chocolate icing.

These cakes were made for two special brothers who were celebrating their big days with one fantastic party.  The Mom let each boy choose the theme of their cake.  The older brother requested a Basketball cake, which was vanilla cake with chocolate fudge filling.  It has buttercream icing and fondant accents.

The younger brother requested a Mario Kart cake.  This cake was a chocolate cake with vanilla creme filling.  It has buttercream icing and fondant accents.
