Castle Cake

2007-07-11T09:26:00.001-07:00

This was a sort of last minute order. I had done castle cakes (a la Disney Princess theme) before but not for a boy (think Knights and Dragons). I searched the web and came across a few pictures. I think that my final version turned out pretty well. Here are a few photos. And here is a quote from the Mom of the Birthday Boy.

The baby shower had a ladybug/bumblebee theme. Kind of unique. It was fun and they oohed and aaahhed when I delivered it.

Tea for Mama Phoebe

2007-02-25T13:13:00.000-08:00

Yesterday we held a tea at church to welcome the wife of our Archbishop from Uganda. It was going to be very fancy and I was asked to create a special cake for the occassion. This is the cake that I made. I think it turned out very well and I received several compliments, as well as a new customer as a result.
ps- I purposely cut the lower right corner of the cake out of the picture when I took it...I was carrying the cake in form my car and I caught the corner with my nametag..yikes. It doctored it a bit on site, and no one noticed.
