After Surgery Cakes... Not So Much!

I've made 4 cakes since surgery and they were difficult! My doctor says no worries-- I expected too much. Everyone has been a simple sheet cake but the difficulty is in not only the physical parts of moving and lifting things but these simple sheet cakes are STIFLING my creativity! Boring! Oh well-- they are pretty and people like them so I should be happy I can do anything. I only took a photo of one cake so I don't know what that says about my satisfaction with my recent work.

A June Cake

I made this cake several weeks ago for my boss' son-- he had the coolest party! It was a Survivor-themed party with scavenger hunts and fun food. The cake was a volcano that actually exploded! I used Diet Coke and Mentos and it works EXACTLY like they say!

No Words, No Descriptions, Just CAKES!

Wedding Cake

I'm so proud of this cake! With flowers from Sam's Club.com, it turned out beautifully! THere were some difficulties in getting it all set up but in the end, it didn't matter because it was a gorgeous cake.

Post-Surgery-- Get it?

I haven't posted in what feels like a million years! I underwent surgery on July 9 for a torn bicep tendon and to have a bone spur scraped down in my left shoulder. Surgery went well but my recovery time has been much longer than I anticipated... not longer than the doctor or physical therapist have intended however so I am headed in the right direction. In the meantime, I have tons of photos to post!

More Babies

One of the cakes I created this weekend was a ladybug baby shower cake.  The mom-to-be purchased her bed linens at JCPenney.  I don't think it was a perfect match but it turned out well.

Babes and Babies

Two fun cakes this weekend, one for a lingerie shower and one for a baby shower.

For the lingerie shower, I made both a cake and cookies  There was an overall them of hearts but not the cutesy, lovey ones!  I used hearts as the base shape for the cake and the cookies but both we transformed into lingerie as evidenced by the pictures.  I had a fabulous time making these and will do so again in a heartbeat!

The second cake this weekend was for a baby shower. The host was very specific as to what she needed so there was not a lot of room for creativity.  The baby is a boy so green, blue and yellow were used.
