German/Beer Themed Cake



My friend Kelly asked me to make her husband's 35th birthday cake. Kelly is a graphic designer and this is the 2nd cake she has designed for me to make. I cannot take credit for any of the design elements, only carrying out her plan. And sweet Kelly always has way more confidence in my abilities than I do!

This is the "sketch" she gave me.




And this is what I came up with.



I had less than a week to hunt down all the materials. The beer bottles are Tabasco bottles.




The beer glass was such a challenge to find... after several trips to wal-mart, target, and several craft stores, I finally found one that was to scale and the right shape at Goodwill. I used a can covered in fondant for the barrel.

Cookies, cookies, cookies!



I've been BUSY with some cookies! I have loved getting to create a few new designs.



Valentine's Day inspired Scotties.


Hearts. These were so fun.

These are actually brownies with a fondant overlay.


This is what Asher took to school for his Valentines with a cute little tag that read, "Have a monster-ific Valentine's Day."



Girl's night out/Bachelorette inspired cookies.


Fancy Nancy cookies for my niece's 5th birthday party.



Mickey and Minnie cookies for a sweet 2nd birthday!



You can order any of these cookies (and more!) at my online Etsy Store Here.

Yo Gabba Gabba-Brobee Cake!



I must confess, I'm not terribly familiar with the Yo Gabba Gabba phenomenon. With our limited cable package, most the cartoons I see come on PBS. But, he was a quick study, thank goodness!

Brobee couldn't be any more cute, could he?




Yo Gabba Gabba!
