FINALLY, a blog post…with content and pictures!! Don’t fall off your chairs, folks…I know it’s been a while! I’ve decided that instead of doing separate posts for each cake, that I would group them into categories! I’ll start off with the birthday cakes from the month of September (and a few from the end of August too!).
***Click on each of the pictures for a description of the cakes!***
From the Tools Cake: “It was awesome and survived the trip to Nashville very well! We all had a good laugh as we ate it in the partially remodeled house.” ~Kay
From the Ladybug Cake: “Emily did a fantastic job, as usual!” ~Bonnie
From the Fall Leaves Cake: “Everyone loved the cake! Mom & Dad were so touched by the leaves with all of our names.” ~Kay

Butterflies & Flowers 1st Birthday Cake
I LOVE girly cakes! This one was based off the plates for the party (Hugs N Stitches). I love the colors! This is the first time I’ve done a stacked buttercream cake without borders and I LOVE the way it came out…very clean!

Princess & The Frog Cake
I did this cake for the daughter of my husband’s boss. Her daughter loves the movie Princess & The Frog, so I designed the cake after the dress that Princess Tiana wears in the movie. Since I have boys and they aren’t that into the princess movies, I had never seen the movie, so I had to rely on the internet for help with this one! 
I love the colors of the cake!
So this has been a SUPER busy week. These are only 2 of 4 cakes this week (and a bonus one I haven’t had a chance to upload yet until now). I’ll upload the rest later this weekend!
Preschool Graduation Cake
The first one is one that I was asked to make for my son’s preschool graduation. I had a lot of fun making it, although I’m going to have to try to figure out what is wrong with the black ink on my edible image printer, because all of the writing ended up having to be hand-painted on…and I don’t write straight, much less paint words straight! I’m happy with how it turned out and everyone seemed to be enjoying it! Congrats, Ben…you’re going to LOVE kindergarten!
Purple Polka Dotted Grad Cake
This cake was for a local grad. The school colors were purple and white…yes, that’s purple…for some reason, that color doesn’t photograph well…perhaps it’s the cloudy day! Congratulations, Jordan!
Wizard of Oz Cake v.2
Normally, when someone asks me to do a cake from my gallery, I like to change it up a little (or reinvent the wheel). I LOVE the design of this cake, so I really didn’t want to do anything major to change it. I did do a few minor things, but mainly it’s the same! Happiest of Fifth Birthdays to you Jewel!

Wine Box Cake
This cake was made for a donation to a fundraising event for our school. The event was a wine tasting and it was to be a part of a raffle. This cake was a difficult one for me, not because the cake was difficult, but because I ended up having to bake it twice…at 2 AM. There was a mini mental breakdown at 4AM and after a few hours of sleep and the help of my sister, who watched the kids for a few hours, I was able to focus and knock it out. I would have taken pictures, but I REALLY would rather NOT remember it!
Emily, everyone loved your cake. A friend of Mrs. Shannon’s won it and is going out of town so she gave it to the teachers. They are all in for a wonderful treat Monday!!!! ~ Kathy
UPDATED 04/12/2010: I found out last yesterday that this cake was won by a woman who turned around and donated it to the teachers at the school to enjoy! I think that’s very sweet and I hope they all enjoyed it today!

Pink Princess
This cake is a sample cake for an upcoming project that has the potential to keep me very busy! I love how it turned out, but next time, the big bow will be purple! Those cupcakes are jumbo cupcakes! They are about twice the size of a normal cupcake! I’m actually liking how they came out!
Surprises to come…so keep visiting! One involves apples and the other pumpkins!
