Let's Go Surfing Now....

Phineas and Ferb surfing themed cake for a 7th birthday. This was such a fun cake to do! Cake is chocolate with vanilla buttercream. Sand is graham cracker, tree is a pretzel rod with fondant leaves. Wave and sign are gumpaste. Characters are toys from the customer.

Beach Cake, And So Much More!

Made for a 50th birthday. Birthday boy lives on the beach, just got back from Europe, always wanted a pony, has his pilot's license, and is a financal planner. Pail, parts of the airplane, fence and money are gumpaste. The rest is marshmallow fondant.

Beach Time!

My first cupcake order! I made these for a 30th beach birthday and had so much fun with all the little decorations to go on top! That part (all marshmallow fondant) took awhile, but once those were done, the cupcakes came together pretty quickly. 1 1/2 dozzen cupcakes, half yellow cake, half chocolate fudge. Iced with buttercream icing. The sand is crushed nilla wafers mixed with crushed graham crackers. They are packed to travel. And they are packed in a box with my new labels I just printed off last night.

Ready For The Beach?

These were made as an end of the year gift for all the wonderful teachers, intructors and helpers in the various activities my girls are involved in. Thanks to them all for the wonderful job they do! I hope this helps them to get in the spirit of summer time, which is right around the corner!!

This is just the first round, I'll be doing 8 more buckets next week! Whew!

Umbrella Cookies

My first attempt at "cookies on a stick" and I think they turned out really cute. These were for the beach themed preschool closing program for Maryella. I found a good sugar cookie recipe that holds up well on the stick. I want to experiment with it a bit more, but everyone seemed to like them. They are iced with royal icing.

Shell Collecting

I loved these chocolate sea shells I made for Annlee's end of the year preschool program. It's always a beach themed program and these were fun to bring! I especially loved the marbled looking ones. They looked real!
