twilight saga

after seeing the rylee cake, madison's mom quickly called and ordered a cake for her birthday.. madison is turning 11 and is having a eclipse movie watching party.. the party is the same night as the movie premier - how fitting to have the cake match up with the book that inspired the movie!

the cake is a butter cake colored red, the frosting is chocolate colored black and the ribbon, well.. it's real! i added a couple of personal touches and ta da..

i did hear back and the girls just loved the cake!!

my little renee turns 9

not to confuse you, but RYLEE is aka renee to me.. inside story between us that is from about 3 years ago and going strong - oh you wonder what she refers to me as.. strawberry.. cute :)

renee is turning 9 ... already! having a rockin' skating party! she wanted a zebra cake.. lesa wanted to incorporate teal and purple... done, done and done..

cake is zebra, letters are purple and i colored the cake batter teal!

housewarming

our friends darrell and amber have bought a new house and of course hosting a party! i asked to help in some way.. they said they got it and then i suggested cookies.. i can do that at least.. oh my i began searching for inspiration and found the cutest little house cookie cutter ever and now it is mine!! the icing is flavored with cocoa and kahlua... yummy!

happy home darrell and amber :)

zachary's western round up

rachel planned a rootin' tootin' western third birthday for little zackie.. equipped with a candy saloon, old west town (made out of boxes) we decorated his cake together (similar idea found online) and it really pulled everything together! denim - with a wrangler patch, bandana, cowhide, rope and cactus... also made some cookie treats; horses, hats and boots

the cake is 3 tiers but 2 layers are not cake - just styrofoam... the top layer is wrapped in duct tape - "inside" funny story surrounding that one! lol

my mom helped rachel by drawing the cowgirl and cowboy - why didn't i do this when kylie was little :(

for his preschool class i made some "3's and z's cookies to pass out to his friends!

jen & q's wedding

my co-worker jen asked me to make her wedding cake right after she bacame engaged to q. they were married at the chatteau at forest park near the art district in fort worth. the white cake is made with white chocolate and so is the frosting. the black icing was disguised also, it was chocolate frosting! also, jen is a mickey mouse buff.. q said no mickey except for one little figure on the cake table... much to his surprise, i worked in the mickey icon in several places on the back of the cake - just a practical joke on him when he would go to cut their first piece.. i was not there to see this all go down, but he found mickey! he announced to the group his plea to not have mickey and he was laughing because i got him!

mother's day - connect church

at connect church every mother's day they give a flower to every mother that attends services. this year they wanted to shake things up a bit! nina (my friends lindsay & haley's mom) remembered how fun and adorable the farm cookies were from preston and olivia's party. so we did it! 150 flower cookies, bagged and ribbon tied. it took me 3+ hours just to bag those little suckers!! thanks nina for the opportunity to make mother's day memorable this year!

i also made some extras for family and friends
