TOODLES

Ha, I hear the word Toodles and I automatically think "good-bye!" But I assure you, that is not what this post means!

I was asked to create a cake for a 2 year old's birthday using the logo from Playhouse Disney: Toodles.

I'm not thrilled with my fondant work on this one as far as the red fondant. It's really shiney and glossy and wet looking complared to the rest of the fondant decorations, but overall, it's not a bad looking cake. Next time, I'll re-work that fondant I think.

Scooby Dooby Doo!

I made these awesome little guys for a little girl's birthday! I think they look like him, although some look like Scrappy Doo to me lol.

Catching up...

It's been a while since my last post and I apologize. I've been super busy with orders and trying to pack up our apartment as we will be moving in the next week to a new apartment-a BIGGER apartment!

The next few posts will show all that I have been up to in the past few weeks since Christmas has come and gone and we've started the new year!

We've had a few baby showers here lately and we've been branching out into decorated sugar cookies!

Here are some onesie cookies!

And some pacifier cookies!

And we've also done some cake pops for a lil monkey baby shower!

I love how these came out!

Polka music anyone??

My friend Summer approached me with a new challenge this past week! Her Father-In-Law loves Polka music and would I be able to come up with something that had to do with Polka music for his 70th birthday. So, we put our heads together and she came up with accordions and drums!

Here is my take on an accordion cake pop! Looks super hard, but really, they weren't! This just shows you that you can pretty much make anything out of cake and put it on a stick! lol.
Here's another shot of them with the drums in the background!
Update from Summer: "When they found out the whole thing was edible you should have seen the faces. It was pretty cool!"

A bit more Christmas....

A last pic of the Christmas cake pops and then I'm done with them! lol. However, Snowmen will still be available during January as well as penguins, mittens and hats, and even kiddos wearing hats! Stay tuned for those!

I decided my basic snowmen needed a bit of a change. I've done them with top hats and ear muffs, but why not do them with stocking hats??? LOVE how they turned out!

My first Wedding!!

I finally got the chance to do my very first wedding cake!! How exciting!!

I was soooo nervous to make these cakes, but thankfully, I knew the bride and groom, so they'd understand if I messed up lol, j/k kinda...lol.

But anyway, the bride had given me a picture a while back of what she would kind of like for a cake, but then her wedding plans changed when they weren't sure if the groom would be able to make it home in time. He is deployed right now and stationed in Japan. Then, she got word that he would be home in December for just a few days, so they decided to go with the courthouse wedding and a small reception to follow. She told me that b/c of this, she would be happy with a sheet cake for a wedding cake. I knew this just would not do. So, I improvised. She wanted Cream Cheese frosting and chocolate and strawberry cakes-I took a little bit from her design and then made it my own. :) and then surprised her with a grooms cake as well!

Here is the finished product on the cake table!
A three-tiered cake with a vase in the middle filled with fake flowers, ribbon around the bottom of each tier.

For the grooms cake, I really did goof. I ran this design past the bride's sister and she thought it looked great, well, little did we know that there are different seals and symbols for different ranks...oops! We made a petty officer a higher rank! Oh well, just the same, it looked great lol and he didn't have a problem with it. :)

I was pretty proud with how this cake turned out!

I cut everything out of the fondant myself by hand and then painted it with edible luster dust!

The bride and groom loved it, as you can see below! lol.

Rudolph the red-nosed Reindeer

Seriously. I LOVE CHRISTMAS. So, to celebrate the fact that I LOVE CHRISTMAS, here are a few more cake pop friends!

Not the best picture of my gingerbread guy, but he is still a cutie!

I got the idea from seeing a fellow cake popper, owner of The Cake Pop Cottage, make these last year. Her's were so amazing, I had to try them myself this year!

One of my favorite Christmas movies every year is RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER!

I have been wanting to make these for so long, So when another fellow cake popper made his version of Rudolph and Clarice, I knew it was my turn to try!
I am in LOVE with how they came out! I will have to do these every year from now on! Along with my Grinch of course too, and I will have to add the Bumble and other characters!

Kisses!
