and a couple more i forgot!

 for those who have read anything about me, you will know that i have my bachelors in fine art. something i have been experimenting with is painting on fondant with my food gels.

i have only done it a few times, but i feel like it is something unique and fun to play with. i may be on to something here....(although i'm sure others have done this, but seriously, you don't see  it too often.) my fiancees birthday was also in june, and one of his favorite cars is the nissan gtr. i didn't have time to actually cut one out like i did with lightning mcqueen, so i tried the next best thing. i think it came out decent considering i don't draw cars all the time.

another cake i enjoyed making which i finally got a few pics of was a wedding cake for a friend last year. she wanted a beach theme, and gave me the high five cake toppers to use.

simple.  nice.  fun.

the shells i actually molded myself as well, i wish i had a detail picture, but all of my pics got deleted, sadly. i visit the outer banks when i get the chance, and had some shells from the beach. i pressed them into sculpey clay, baked it, and used white candy melts to make little shells for her cake!

as for this, i just like this pic. that blueberry cake i was talking about? it is epic. this pic was just taken in my window one morning. anyway, thank you again for looking!

a couple new pics

 well, things seem a little slow for the summer so far. just this weekend, it was a friend's daughter's first birthday, and she had a whole sesame street theme, complete with the lamp post with her name on it!

it was a lot of work, but i got it done. i also had a smaller cake the same day for a police retirement party. crazy week!! next time i will have to ask for more time off from my other jobs!!

since the baby shower/wedding weekend, i had another birthday (pictured below) for a friends niece. i was actually kind of nervous, considering she is a huge fan of cake boss. we met a few weeks before and i was given the specifics on how she wanted it, and she didn't miss a thing!! multiple colored piped flowers, the "fon-dahnt" (fondant), a list of animals, a fence and piped grass, the barn and lastly a miniature version of herself as a vet tech on top of a hill! luckily, it went over successfully!

other than that, i havent had many requests. i had a chance to go blueberry and strawberry picking, in which i kind of invented my own cheesecake based off of a tea i had once, "strawberry blueberry lemonade." it came out pretty good as well. not to mention the blueberry cake, blueberry muffins, strawberry muffins, and this strawberry cream pie so far. i got a few more things to try, i just gotta find the time!

well, enjoy the new pictures. hopefully i can get them up tonight or the next day or so! thank you for looking!
