Retirement Cake

This was for a retirement party a few weeks ago.  I have to give Erin credit, she came up with the "Off the Clock" saying AND found the design I ended up using online.  I really wanted to do something a little more personalized, but work, lots of projects, and a few nights with very little sleep changed that plan.  The top was vanilla cake and the bottom is my favorite: white cake with lemon curd filling and buttercream.  Yum!

Peace Sign Cupcakes

More peace signs!  These were done for a birthday a couple weeks ago.  I love the way they turned out!  I made a stencil for the peace signs and cut them and the daisies out of gum paste.

Tye Dye

I think it's so funny how everything comes around again.  When I was in fifth grade, I insisted on having a smiley face cake with peace signs and my mom went on and on about how that was from her day.  It went away for a while, but now peace signs and smiley faces are every where again!  This was for a birthday party a few weeks ago.

Firetruck Cake

This was for a fireman theme birthday party.  I love the dalmation spots and she had a firetruck to use as a cake topper, so cute!

Cookie Cutter Crazy

I'm a little nuts for cookie cutters, I look for them everywhere.  So it's no suprise that I went to New York a few weeks ago and came home with a bag full of cutters.  You know most people go to Barney's or Bendel's not me, I bring home cookie cutters.  I then like to go through my entire collection and see if they can be used as any other shapes, like the tulip cutter I use to make shields.  My favorites were Santa Clause, which was on sale for 1 cent (I am a bargain hunter through and through) and a set of round cookie cutters which were smooth on one side and fluted on the other!

I Love my Pit Bull

I did this cake a couple weeks ago for a birthday.  They wanted it to look like the dog on the I love my pit bull car stickers.  I had a few reservations, but I think the dog turned out really well!
