More Soccer Team Treats

Yes, MORE soccer treats!!! This time I had a little more time to work on these. These soccer ball cookies are actually textured.

Soccer Team Treats

When it's your turn to bring the treats for the soccer team, what's a mom to do??? That's right, you make "Express Cookies". Living a crazy schedule sometimes makes it hard to do all of the fancy decorating you can at other times. These "express" cookies came together the night before the game.

The soccer ball design was actually airbrushed on (thus the "express"

title)! Of course the kids had to have matching drinks.

3D dinosaur

My son is absolutely obsessed with dinosaurs. This cake was a total surprise

for him on his birthday this year. Although the cake didn't turn out to my

expectations.....he was totally thrilled with the cake. Naturally you don't see

many orange dinos (of course you don't see any dinos, I hope), but he

is a Gator fan. His favorite colors are orange, blue & green.

Bird cake

My son decided he wanted a "bird cake" for his birthday. Thinking that this request must have been influenced by the "Rio" movie, I figured a scarlet macaw (or something similar) would do the trick. It did indeed. He was very pleased, and more than willing to be the one to "bite the head off" this little birdie! The cake was lemon chiffon with a lemon curd filling.

Lego cookies

At the last minute, my son decided he wanted a "Lego cake" for his birthday. (Since my mind was already racing with a different idea, he got a partial request!)

These sugar cookies were made for him to take to school and share with his clas........but they never quite made it out the door. Our household gobbled them up first!

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.
