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.

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!!!!)
