For a boy who loves blue,
and a train car or two.
This little two year old birthday boy wanted a blue train car, so a train he got!
Here's a picture of the front of the train.
And here is a picture from the top.

For a boy who loves rocket ships
For none other than my nephew, I made a huge rocket cake in honor of his immense fascination with them.
Here's a closer detail of the little planets and stars.
Here is a side view of the rocket, panels and all.
And you can't have a rocket without flames shooting out the back.
And what is space without a random orbiting moon?
Here is the birthday boy himself just waiting to devour the cake!
And here he is with all of his friends who loved the "ROCKET SHIP CAKE!!!" (it was literally screamed up until the moment of consumption).

A girly girl turns 2
To my precious little niece who was turning 2, I made this cake. This was definitely for a little girl precious to my heart!
A bit of a side angle.
Even more of a side angle.
Here is the cake from the back.
And just to show the attention to detail, I bordered the cake with frosting flowers and gave extra care to the fondant flowers by adding sparkle and sheen so they really popped on the cake!

Triplet birthday cake
This huge cake was for a triplet birthday party. Except that they aren't exactly triplets. 3 sisters (in-law) had baby girls within 4 months of each other, and they call them all the family triplets. So naturally, the triplets had a shared birthday party. This birthday party was special though, instead of requesting gifts for their kids, the parents had stations of donated gifts that you could bid on for a raffle. If you won you got the item, but in the end all of the money went to 2 local families who have little boys struggling with cancer. What a special way to give back and celebrate at the same time!
What little girl doesn't love sparkly butterflies?
Each little one year old got their own smash cake with their name and butterfly on it... matching the tutus that they wore that night!
A-dorable!
And here are the precious little ones with their proud mamas!
And here they are eating their smash cakes... from cleanest to messiest.

Cupcakes galore!
I was asked to make cupcakes for a sweet birthday party for a little lady turning 8!
Here are only some of the cupcakes I made.
Here is the table set up at the party.
A good closeup of the cupcakes.
A close up of some of the table decorations.
And the birthday girl herself blowing out the top one with candles!

60th birthday party
What do you get when you see the following images?
A pair of teeth:
A wheelchair accessible sign:
The hand of a skeleton:
A caution sign:
Some gray flowers:
And a losing bingo card:
You get a man turning 60 and a wife who thought this tombstone cake would be hilarious! This was a really fun cake to work on because I really got to make a lot of different items.
And here's a close-up of the skeleton hand.
