Tis' the Season for Babies....

My friend asked me to make a baby shower cake for her cousin. Her cousin is expecting a boy so obviously I used baby boy colors. I thought that making a stork carrying the "bundle" of joy would be cute. But it just so happens my first time making a stork turned out more like a duck. Oh well, I still think it turned out great! Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure :)

The cake is made of fondant, royal icing, and buttercream frosting. The "stork" and bundle are made of rice krispie treats and fondant.

And the Countdown Begins....Again.

I'm counting down the days.....I'm counting down the days when I can hold you in my arms for the first time, when I can see what you are going to look like, when Trent and I become parents for the first time! I can't wait for these 10 weeks to be up! That's right folks, I only have 10 weeks left. I am so excited and can not wait to meet our little one.

We recently registered at Target and Babies R' Us. I was in awe at all the things that a baby needs. We had no idea what to register for, but I know that everything will be fine and we will figure it out.

Monkeying Around....

I feel as if I am always posting about either the baby or a cake I made. We just don't lead very exciting lives! Well anyways, here is another cake post. I made a monkey birthday cake for one of my good friend's daughters. She is turning 10! When my friend asked me to make a cake, I asked her what the theme was. Apparently, her daughter had originally wanted an Eminem cake. Yes, I am talking about the rapper Eminem. I thought ok....That's going to be a difficult one, but I can figure it out. Well the next day at work, my friend told me her daughter came to her the night before and said she came up with a better theme for her birthday. Her daughter said, "Let's Go Bananas!" and said she would like a monkey cake! Isn't that one of the cutest themes ever? Well I made the cake and I think it turned out awesome. We will see if she loves it! Here are a few pictures, enjoy :)

All the decorations on the cake are made of fondant!
