Happy Birthday Fun!

This cake honestly had to be one of the most fun looking cakes I have ever had the pleasure of making. The order came from a woman wanting a cake for her daughter's birthday. She had seen a cake like this on the invitations that she was using for the party and thought it would be cute to have a matching cake. I think she was right!

As usual, most the decorations on the cake are edible. The hands are candy melt drawn out in the shape of hands and hardened, the eyes and cheeks are candy melt wafers, the nose and dots around the bottom are candy sugared dots, the eyebrows are Good n Plenty's and the candles are cake pops of course!

The Beach never tasted so good :)

This tastey beach cake was made for a co-worker. Actually it was made for the people she was house-sitting for. They went on a trip to Hawaii and she thought it would be nice to have a Hawaiian theme cake waiting for them when they got back! So I created a beach cake complete with little umbrellas and pineapples!

The piers around the cake are french cookies, the pineapples are cheesecake pops, and the "sand" is actually graham cracker crumbs. My favorite part of the cake though has to be the water. I love how the swirling came out to make it look like small waves and such!

Update

I am sooooo sorry that I have not updated my blog until now. This pregnancy has kept me busy as have alot of orders I've been working on and family things as well. I promise to try to be better about updating my blog in the future!

Last time I updated, our little peanut was only about 15 weeks along. We are now 22 weeks today and we found out 2 weeks ago that our peanut is a GIRL!! How exciting! I cannot wait to show her all the things she can do in the kitchen and even just to have a lil helper! We are still due January 12th and even though it may seem like a long way off, to me, it's just around the corner! :)

Thank you for your patience with my blog and with me. Now, be prepared for a bunch of postings in a row ;)

Updated pic on the Littlest Sweet Bite

Here is the most recent picture of our lil peanut! This one was taken at 13 weeks, so about 3 weeks ago! Baby had given us a huge scare around that time, but everything turned out to be ok. One trip to the ER, and a trip to my Dr. the next day turned up to be a sub-chorionic hemorrhage behind the placenta, but wasn't anywhere near the placenta or the baby so all was well! Just a bit of bed rest and we are good as new!

I got to hear the heart beat a week later and we were actually able to find it on the doppler! yay! I'll post more updates as they come :)

ooooo.....Cheesecake!

Let me just say, I have never made a cheesecake completely from scratch before. I've always been slightly intimidated by the concept. Which is ridiculous seeing as I've made way more difficult cakes than this before! So, when I was asked to make a cheesecake for a baby shower, I was nervous!!

I made a small mistake along the way, but this cheesecake came out sooooo yummy that I just cannot wait to make another one!!!!

My mistake was overfilling the springform pan. It caused the cheesecake to rise well above the pan and crack around the edges and across the middle. Never the less, it was still tasty.
And to make up for some of the cracking, I decorated it with some dark chocolate and strawberries! YUM!

Flower pops!

It's been pretty busy around here, but my main reason for not posting pictures is because alot of the orders I've been working on, you've already seen them! I like to try and post more when something new is created. However, in saying that, here are some flower pops I did recently for a mother's birthday. The request was for flower pops and to be arranged in a flower/window box. I thought this was a great idea! Here is what I came up with.

Aren't they adorable! You almost don't even want to eat them!

It's been a while....

It's been a while since my last post, and for that I must appologize to my fans and loyal readers.Since my last post, I have been very busy! I wasn't feeling well for the last part of May and early June, and then when I did feel better, I got swamped with lots and lots of baking projects. One project in particular has been most special to me....

Yup! That's right! I am having my own little Sweet Bite! ;) The picture above was taken at 8 weeks, and the picture below at 12 weeks.
My hubby and I are super excited about our little bundle of joy and can't wait to meet him or her in January!!
