Zebra print must be “in” right now! We did 3 cakes with zebra print in April (this one, the monkey cake, and the brightly colored sweet 16 cake). This cake was iced in buttercream and decorated with fondant dots, circles, and zebra stripes. It was topped with a gum paste “Happy Birthday” spray and white …
I’ve been a bad blogger this week. I have FOUR cakes to post from last week…and now a bunch more from this week! Not to mention, I have 2 more stringwork tutorials to post. I promise I’ll catch up! Here’s one of the more fun cakes from last week: The cake design was based on …
It just doesn’t get any better than when the sugar world pairs up with a charity to do some good! Last weekend, the American Cancer Society held a huge fundraiser in Greenwood, SC with a cake decorating contest, a tasting contest, a social, and a concert. For those of us unlucky enough to only find …
Since we live in Gainesville (aka Gator Country, The Swamp, Title Town), I knew it wouldn’t be long before we got an order for a 3-D carved gator cake. And, lucky enough, it came last week! It was carved out of red velvet cake (my favorite) with white chocolate cream cheese filling, and the legs …

Does every little girl have a pair of pink roller skates with hot pink wheels? I did, and I remember skating on them until the stopper was worn to a nub. Ah, those were the days… But, anyway, last week Debbie and I got to create a pink roller skate for Rachel’s 6th birthday party! …
Last weekend, some of our good friends went out of town and left their furry friends in our care. They have four guinea pigs! Considering our track record in pet sitting this year, I really had no idea what to expect… At first they were a little timid – a bit on-edge after the car …
Ok, I badgered Elise in the last post…but I’ll praise her in this one. She has convinced me to enter a photo into an online competition! This week, the theme for the competition on I Heart Faces is desserts! Hello, I can do that! But, I’m not just going to enter a cake, cupcakes, or …
I have a certain friend… who has the cutest daughter… who is turning 2 in May! Long ago, I promised to make her birthday cake! Yay for cake! My friend…let’s call her Elise* for argument’s sake…Elise wants her daughter’s birthday party to be retro chic themed. He really loves this French postcard she found on …
