Monkey Business

Nothing like a little "slice" of monkey on your birthday!!!

These are some other monkey goodies re-visited!

Cars 2 Francesco

My son has fallen in love with Francesco from the Cars 2 movie. He decided

that he wanted s 2-tier cake with Francesco on top- the toy, NOT FONDANT!!!

(Only a cake decorator's child would know what fondant was!)

His cupcakes (red, white & green cake) were a hit at school.

While the cat's away.....

This cake was in honor of our "kitten's" 3rd birthday. Hey....you can
always find an excuse for cake!!!! This one was banana
cream with a chocolate fudge filling.

Purse & make-up

This cake was for a young lady interested in make-up. The "cosmetics" are made of chocolate. Her favorite color is pink, but she wanted the purse to be red!!! (It's a woman's perogative!)

Astronaut on the Moon

Every year on July 20th, my mother reminds us all that they picked her birthday to walk on the moon. At last, the perfect birthday cake for her came to mind.

The decorated cookies were a big hit, too. (Mom turned the big "66" in case you were unsure of what the blue swirl cookie was about!!!!)

4th of July cookies

I had a "little helper" in the kitchen for our 4th of July cookies this year. My youngest (5 years old) wanted to help out. I think he did a great job. The cookies pictured at the top were inspired by those on the cover of the Martha Stewart magazine.

TV Dinner

What better way to celebrate Father's Day than with a TV dinner. This one had chicken drumsticks, mashed potatoes & gravy, peas & carrots & chocolate cake!!! (All were cupcakes decorated with edible items).
