Here's some MUSTACHE cookies I did for a Mustache and Wig 40th birthday celebration *grin* Too CUTE!!

And a little Christmas logo cheer! Vintage seed packed cookies on a huge plaque cookie and work company logos
The images were printed on Rice paper with edible ink
 More Christmas cookies for kiddos class *spoiled* i know! I wish my mom would have baked at all ,let alone for my class!! But I'm just blessed to have the time to do it now.

  And finally the last Christmas cookies of the season and of 2013!! 
Some Christmas Apples dipped in carmel and garnished with christmas colored white chocolate!

Character Cakes

Character inspired birthday cakes

A Dora themed cake I did for a special 2 year old. Bottom cake is red velvet/cream cheese. And top cake  is White/Strawberry. Both are covered in fondant and the edible images are on fondant.



A Beauty and the Beast inspired cake for a princess turning 1! I have to admit I was just a little bit jealous, I would have LOVED to have attended this Lil ones party what a great theme!! Entire cake was covered in fondant with fondant details, and sixtlets border.


Lalaloopsy themed cake for MY little princesses 4th birthday! I don't usually bake them extra special cakes, that's what happens sometimes when you do it all the time! But every once in a while I lovingly offer they pin me down :)

But really just look at her........How could I resist that!!

Is it a cup of coffee?...is it a cake?? I LOVE these look-a-like cakes! It is quite a challenge to try and copy a nationally recognized brand.  It could go Sooo wrong,  But they are so cool when they turn out just right =) I do enjoy my daily cup of coffee.....so I had an awesome time with this one!

50th Birthday party poker themed cake!
I MUST say...... it was a very HOT day in July here and I really do hate putting cakes on any sort of "seat" in the car, word to the wise....don't do it!! Needless to say (Sorry Christy=))) the cake didn't make it to the party looking like this :((  We attended the party, as she is a great friend of ours, and I didn't have the heart to snap a picture.... but let's just say... it was still edible..... We love you Christy!!
Next time......I'll deliver!

Burberry style cake =))
I tend to like my cakes simple.....And after I finished this one, I fell in love! The Burberry print was slightly intimidating.....BUT it actually went smoothly!  *thank goodness*  So simple and such a dude cake!!!  

Thanks for looking!! And don't forget to celebrate the DUDES in your life.....
