Baby Einstein Cake

Making this cake felt like I was paying tribute to the woman who let me eat dinner when my kids were babies!  Top tier is chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream filling and the bottom tier is lemon with strawberry and buttercream filling.  The whole cake is covered in buttercream frosting with fondant animals and accents.  Even the caterpillar is edible!

Wild Rumpus!

For my son Colin's 2nd birthday party we decided on a "Wild Rumpus" based on his favorite book Where The Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak.  The theme was born when my husband found all sorts of fun wild things' stuff in the dollar bin at Target back in April...so 6 months later here we are!  I made lots of signs, pom-poms and printed out lots of printables from the internet.  Then came the cake.  Usually, my husband doesn't have too many opinions on the kids' parties, and I think I sometimes drive him crazy with my obsessing and planning.  However, this time he had a clear vision of what he thought the cake should look like.  Luckily, I found an inspiration cake on one of my favorite cake blogs that made his vision a reality.  I was a little nervous about recreating this cake, but I knew it turned out well when Colin (my little Wild Thing) saw it and said, "Rrrrrrr, hold it, Max, rrrrrrrrr!"  He says, "hold it" anytime he likes what he sees!  The Wild Rumpus was a success, Colin had so much fun with all of his wild buddies.  I can't believe my baby is 2!  Happy Birthday Colin!

Welcome!

I've always loved baking and cooking.  Once I became a mom I decided I wanted to take cake classes so that whatever my kids came up with for a birthday party theme, I'd be able to accept the challenge and make them an amazing cake. Here is my latest creation for my daughter's 3rd birthday.  It was a Wizard of Oz Extravaganza for my little Dorothy!  After a lot of research and combing the web looking for ideas and inspiration...this is what I came up with.
