Mean Jean is 75!!

January 28, 2012

You've guessed it...Mean Jean is 75!! Mean Jean is my Godfather's mother (believe it or not) & although not truly mean, she does enjoy her McMaster's & cigs, so this design was the obvious choice for the BIG 7-5.... The bottle of whiskey is chocolate cake, buttercream frosting, & fondant details. The banner, ashtray, and cigarettes are also made out of fondant and ALL EDIBLE....ashes included =)

Star Wars Cake Pops

January 21, 2012

When I was asked if I could do something for a Star Wars themed 4 year old's birthday party, I realized I knew VERY little about Star Wars. The extent of my knowledge was "Luke, I am your father" and Princess Leia's cinnamon bun styled hairdo, which I should actually credit an episode of "Friends" for. Anyways, I did some research and now I at least have a basic foundation, which I've found to be pretty helpful given the popularity of Star Wars themed birthday parties these days.....especially among the 3-6 year old clientele. I have to say, I think Yoda and Chewbacca are my favorite....at least in cake pop form. =)

Jungle Themed Birthday

January 14, 2012

My friend has a daughter and a son that are about a year apart, so she had a joint birthday party for them this year and decided on a jungle theme. In addition to two separate cakes for each child, I made the "jungle" cake pops as shown above. For the cakes, a zebra for Kalyn and a lion for Jaxson. =)
