And I'm back!

So, sorry about the hiatus that I took from this blog.  I had some pretty major life changes going on, and well, sometimes life happens, right?

Anyhow, just a few short weeks ago, I got to create not only one, but TWO birthday cakes in one weekend.

The first cake was for a 1 year old's first birthday party.  The theme was Veggie Tales, and his mom really wanted a Bob the Tomato cake and the French Peas as cupcakes.  I ended up doing a 2 tiered cake - the bottom tier was chocolate and the top was vanilla funfetti cake.  The cupcakes were also vanilla funfetti.  The frosting was just regular buttercream.

BTW, Bob the Tomato was also a "piñata cake"... meaning he was hollowed out a bit and there was candy inside!  I wish I had a picture, but alas, I do not.

Bottom half of the soon to be "Bob."  You can see how it is hollowed out a bit.

Bob is now put together and frosted - with the outline of his face

Nose applied and eyes and mouth filled in.

                                                      Finished product with the cupcakes. :)

The other birthday cake was for a friend turning 34.  His wife had me create a Superman cake for him.  Seeing that it was short notice, the cake was chocolate with regular buttercream.  I actually got a piece of that cake, and it was delish!
