Texas Ranger Star Cake

As much as it pains me to say, my Daddy doesn't care too much for fondant so when it came time for his birthday, it was back to the basics with my frosting tips. Not that I minded lol. Daddy is a big Walker, Texas Ranger fan, I grew up watching reruns too. But there were only so many ways to incorporate that into cake using only buttercream frosting...so here was my interpretation... Happy Birthday Daddy! I love you!

Racecar Track Cake

Made this cake for a Hot Wheels themed birthday party for a 2 year old. The mom later added some cars to the top of the cake.

Gabbie's SpongeBob SquarePants Cake

My little niece, Gabbie, turns 2 this month. Her bday party was last weekend where SpongeBob SquarePants was set on display and later devoured. This is my first "character" cake and I was super nervous. Although I know of a few things that I would definitely change if I was to do this again, I like how it came out. Although, I'd like to give a special shout-out to my BF, Stefanie...couldn't have done this cake without you! Thanks for all of your help! And, of course, Happy Birthday, Gabbie!!

Mother's Day Cards for 2010

My sister and I started this last year with doing home made cards because of all of the mother's in life that it seemed more sentimental to make our own cards (not to mention easier on the wallet!) Here is this year's products for my family and close friends:

Life Saver Cake

Made this for my manager at work, Renee, to go along with a theme for "saving" customers who would otherwise discontinue our services. We've got paper life savers all of the wall for each customer we get to stay with us. Couldn't think of anything more fitting for Renee's birthday since she is so dedicated to this project.

Kithen Towel Toppers

Every year I like to use one of my hobbies to make up some gifts for my co-workers, just to spread some Christmas cheer. This year I settled on kitchen towels with crocheted toppers for the ladies and home baked cookies for the men (men are too easy). I knew the theme in a few of the ladies' kitchens so I knew what type of towel to use, the rest I just sort of felt out. Each got a set of two coordinating towels. I searched through several patterns before I found one that I liked.

Braided Scarf

My sweet, sweet, sweet Mommy has made me a few scarves in my life time, and each time I wear one of them, I always think of her when I put them on. And then again through out the day when I get tons of compliments on them. I always brag how my mother made them for me and I wear them with pride and love. One particular scarf was a favorite of my managers and she had make a comment that she would like to order a replica of it from me...instead I whipped one up and gave it to her as a Christmas present. So now when I see her wear it, I'll think of Mommy again! :) Sorry it's not the best of pictures (I was lacking a model).
