Puppy dog pawprint "cake"

We celebrated our dog's 15th birthday on Cinco de Mayo. Usually I do something with a Mexican theme, but not this year. This "cake" was made of Reese cereal and topped with chocolate accents. Not to worry, our dog did not get any of the chocolate, but he definitely enjoyed the cereal puff!!!

Blue Car Crazy

My father is absolutely crazy for a blue vehicle. He just loves that new electric blue color all of the car companies seem to have come out with. Sooooo, this year he got one for his birthday. Not one to drive, but one to eat..... with ice cream! His cake! It was a vanilla cake that was colored in various shades of blue, almost camouflage looking.

My Little Pony (rainbow)

Some children like the sculpted cakes. Then there are those that like any kind of cake with a toy on them. This is the case with this cake. In order to spice things up, the "smash" cake was my favorite rainbowlicious design. (Didn't get a good pic, but this will give you an idea!)

(My phone doesn't like me very well when it comes to the camera!)

Decorated Easter Cookies

Another fun-filled holiday at my house. This year I made "Peep" cookies for the school party, with twin versions for the kids at home. We also had carrots & of course, sheep! For our Easter table center piece we had a bunny cake. What could be better than diving into a barrel of M&M's?...not much......except every serving slice also had a Kit Kat wedge!!!! We are definitely bouncing off the walls here.

April Fool's Dinner

My kids LOVE April Fool's Day. This year, with the holiday falling on a Sunday, it was easier to "get 'em"!  They didn't realize it was April yet. I found the perfect joke to play on them by searching the internet. My kids would never eat chicken that they could see bones in it, thus a bucket of KFC fried chicken (rice crispy cereal treats with bran flakes & pretzel rod bones). We also had corn on the cob (Twinkies) & baked beans (sugar babies). These baked beans received lots of laughs about not causing gas. My reply....."they make cause cavities instead!" Enjoy.

Anniversary with a little "Bling"

If you don't wear the "bling" on your finger, where should it be? Why, on the cake, of course!!! My parents celebrated their anniversary with this "blingy" 3 tier cake. Flavors of the layers were Cinnamon Roll, Strawberry Swirl and Chocolate Chip.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Oh what a "lucky" day my kids had! We had tons of green goodies. There were cupcakes, cake truffles, rainbow sugar cookies, Lucky Charms, Grasshopper cake, chocolate covered oreos, green snowballs & beer (Root Beer, of course)!!! So what are you to do with kids after a sugar high....lots of playing outside!!!!
