This Is The Life

Celebrating 72 years of living is really something to celebrate. His favorite chair is his recliner with his remote and red solo 'spit' cup on a side table. Relaxing is very important when you put in a hard days work on the farm. This kinda work will not wait on anyone, it has to be tended to daily. And usually from sun-up to sunset. This is a vanilla cake with buttercream icing. The recliner is krispie treats covered with modeling chocolate as well as the T.V. The table, remote, and cup are modeling chocolate and the rug is buttercream icing. Happy Birthday Roy! Heather, you did a terrific job!!! So proud of you! Serves about 40.

Ivory Wedding Cake

This is four tiers of two-layered vanilla cake with ivory buttercream icing. There's close to 100 garland sashes attached to the bottom of the tiers, made from royal icing and the topper of roses are made from modeling chocolate dusted with pearl dust. The wedding was beautiful and so many family and friends were there to help celebrate. Congratulations to my sister and new husband, now known as Mr. & Mrs. Barrentine. They are giddy as teenagers and I think we were all reminded of that 'hurry up feeling' and 'let's get this thing done'! They were so excited and it was contagious.

We love you both! (Serves about 154)

 

Farmall Tractor

My sister Bo got married the 23rd and her fiancee' decided to forgo a groom's cake so she took the opportunity to surprise him. He likes red velvet cake with cream cheese icing and so...a cake was born. The tractor is carved from modeling chocolate and coated with icing to give it dimension. Serves about 40. We love ya'll!

Catfish Cake

Well Gage is a little young man who loves to fish. So when asked what kind of cake he wanted for his birthday, he said a fish. First he chose a bass but later changed his mind to a catfish. He wanted chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream icing. Hope you loved it and hope it wasn't to fishy.(lol) Serves 25. Happy Birthday Gage!

Barnyard Celebration

Yee-haw! How cute are decorations for a birthday party these days!  A country touch is just perfect for a boy. Logan is 2 and so excited about his birthday! This is a  yellow cake with buttercream icing and covered with fluff. The candle, cow print, and animals are also made from fluff. The roof is made from rice krispie treats and covered with fluff. This cake serves about 68. Happy Birthday Logan! Thanks Kalah!

Day Care Graduation

Graduation day, not only for seniors but also for kids who are going to the "big house", so to speak. This is a vanilla cake with buttercream icing covered with our fluff and also all the decorations are made from fluff. Serves about 64. Congratulations Class of 2012!

Tie-dye Celebration

Boy what a pop of color! It's so vibrant! We loved doing this cake especially for our very own Tabitha. She is a crack-up! She is so humorous and happy all the time. We love her personality.( I digress) This is a vanilla cake with buttercream icing and covered with our fluff and serves 150 people. I know the sixty something kids she teaches at her after-school program are delighted to have her. Thanks Tab, we love you very much!

Hot Wheels Battle Force 5

Eli knew exactly what he wanted for his birthday, right down to the cake! That's what I like. He wanted the Hot Wheels logo with the Battle Force 5 motorcycle right under it. He was very detailed, and that made my job a lot easier. This is a white cake with vanilla buttercream icing with all details in buttercream icing. It serves about 35-40 people. Happy birthday, Eli! I hope it's exactly like you pictured it.

Handy Man

A handyman shower is a great idea for any guy or couple who is about to be married. He gets neat and useful tools and gadgets, and the bride-to-be gets free labor for life! (If he is, in fact, handy. If not, at least she can watch him pretend, right?)
This is a two layer white cake with vanilla buttercream icing. All the tools are made of Fluff. The cake serves about 40-45 people. We wish the couple many years of happiness!

Monster High Cake

I'll be the first to admit it... I had no idea what Monster High was when this cake was requested. I live a life filled with two little boys, and aside from the occasional show or two my neices mention, I really am clueless to girl shows. However, when I was researching the show, I thought the colors and designs were all so cute! They manage to make a skull and stitches adorable!

The cake is two tiers, each with two layers of white cake filled and iced with vanilla buttercream, and covered with dark charcoal Fluff. All decorations, aside from the white piping on the bottom tier, are made from Fluff. The piping is of course, vanilla buttercream. The cake serves about 40 people. Happy birthday, Sydney, and thanks for the introduction to Monster High.

Tie-Dyed Peace Sign Cake & Cupcakes

Peace signs are so popular in our area! We've had lots of requests for them, and we try to keep each cake different from the next. We've only had one other request for a tie-dye cake, so we tried a new pattern and different colors on this one. The combination of the peace sign and tie-dye made for a unique and very cute cake. The cake is two layers of cake, one of white cake and one of dark chocolate cake, filled and iced with vanilla buttercream, and covered with white Fluff. The cake was then hand-painted with the tie-dye design and topped with a white peace sign cut out of Fluff. The writing was piped with buttercream.
This special little one (she'd correct me if she knew I referred to her as "little one"), now a big eight-year-old, had some friends stay over the night before her party, and of course they needed something for that night, as well. One dozen cupcakes, a mixture of white and dark chocolate cake, were iced with lavender and yellow vanilla buttercream, and topped with sugar sparkles to mimic the tie-dye pattern on the cake.
The cake fed about 40, and of course the cupcakes fed 12. We had a ball making this cake for Maggie, and can't wait to see what design she comes up with for her next birthday. Happy 8th birthday, Maggie. Holly and Aunt Z love you very much!

Spongebob Squarepants

Spongebob Squarepants...what else can be said! Kinley's eyes just lit up when she saw her cake. This is a vanilla cake with buttercream icing and serves about 48 people. Happy Birthday Kinley!!

Dirt Bike Tire Cake

The boys birthday party theme this year was dirt bikes. So...what do we do for the cake. We didn't feel like we had time for an elaborate cake since the week was taken up with baseball practice, a baseball game, and getting ready for all the family to come in for the weekend to also celebrate Easter after the birthday party. 

A dirt bike tire cake would do the trick.   This cake and the cupcakes are dark chocolate fudge iced with buttercream icing To make the treads we placed  marshmellows on the  sides of the cake and covered it with our "fluff" dyed black. The numbers 3 and 8 are also from our  "fluff".  This cake and 4 1/2 dozen cupcakes served  about 70 people. Happy Birthday Ian and Tucker! We love you both bunches!!!

Leap Year Birthday - 17th & 68th

Happy Birthday to one of my big sisters who was born in February(which is a great month by the way), on leap year. So technically Muriel is 17 by the leap year calendar and 68 by the regular calendar. Her kids surprised her with a little gathering to help celebrate. These cakes are two layer cakes, one layer of chocolate and one vanilla. They are iced with buttercream and covered with our "fluff". The bows and tags are from our modeling chocolate and serves about 140. Love my big sis!!!

Big T and Sports

Big T is your typical little boy who enjoys all things sports. So Nanny found this cake on a web site and he fell for it. Three tiers with two layers each of vanilla cake and buttercream icing filled our need for something sweet at his party. The middle tier, football, is iced with chocolate buttercream which is awesome. The decorations are from our modeling chocolate. He's growing up and who knows what he'll be into next year. Cowboys and a western theme wouldn't surprise me since his daddy is farming now. Whatever he chooses, we will do our best to give him what he wants. Happy Birthday Big "T"! We love you!
