Drew's Guitar Birthday Cake

My Drew is now a year into his second decade... Saying it that way makes him sound a lot older!  Drew turned 11 on Saturday.  He wanted a guitar cake.  I procrastinated in getting started so I didn't get to do as much with the decorating as I had planned.  Looks like another guitar cake is in my future.

Greta's disco dance cake

Little Greta Gesick's birthday party was last week.  She had a dance party.  This is the cake I created for her special day.

Angry Birds Cake

I was contacted recently by a fellow Minnesotan transplanted in Bermuda.  She was interested in having an Angry Birds cake made for her son's birthday party.  She sent me a picture of a cake she found online and wanted the same cake.  I don't like to copy cakes others have made but I liked this one so much, I couldn't resist! 

Now I want to make some cupcakes with the other "characters."  Looks like another Angry Birds cake is in my near future.

Owl birthday cake

My friend Mae's daughter, Emily, turned 14 today.  She selected a balloon for the decorations and wanted a cake to compliment it.  I was excited to make an owl cake.  My Nana loved owls and I thought fondly of her as I made this cake for Emily.  I think I will make it again and make some tweeks.

The balloon:

40th Birthday party cake

I made this cake and matching cupcakes for a big 40th birthday party.  The "birthday girl" is a friend of a friend (and I have never met her) so I am honored that she put her trust in me to make the cake for her special occasion.  The only specifications were that it have black and gold, but not too much black, and that it have "40" on it.

This is how I set up the display at the party:
