Happy Day for Dist 5 VFD

One of our fire fighters had a birthday this past weekend.  Which meant since he was the oldest in the department, he'd get a surprise party... Just because I had this cake (helmet) I wanted to try to make and besides, he's a very loved guy!!


Pay no serious attention to the round cake beside the helmet... it was there mainly because that little hat wasn't going to feed 30+ of us... and yes we surprised the 73 year old man!!  His family came up and spent the evening with his "other family".  That's how we roll... our department is a family... we have our squabbles... and yes we have to get out and make a living (bull bash).. but in the end we have each other's back as any other family would.  If you don't believe me just show up at one of our calls... we even have a redheaded step child in the bunch....


How to make a Rebel cake flag "classy"?!?!?

You just say a prayer...  I wasn't too sure how I could make a rebel flag retirement/bday cake look classy and not so "Redneckish" but I think I managed to pull it off well..
Cake from what I hear was a hit...

Stay tuned... I'm kind of late blogging, but I've got a few more cute cakes to post from this "non blogging" time

Present Box...



Sorry for the picture quality.... I done my first Fondant/gumpaste loopy bow this weekend for a cake.  Customer was getting a cake for her 70ish (can't remember exactly how old) year old mother and didn't want just plain roses on it.  Anyone who has seen any of my cakes know, nothing I have done has a rose on it.  I hate making roses because I can't get them like I want..  So with the customer's ok, we decided a present box it would be..  I thought it turned out rather cute...

Coming up this week we have a Horse cake... and a truck of some kind...

The Horse cake will be for a coworker and his daughter sent me a coloring page of the horse she wants on her cake and she even colored it to show me exactly what she wants.  I hope I can fulfill her request!!

Busy weekend

What a weekend it has been!!!  Friday night I had a cake to do that should have only taken a couple of hours to do.. well lets just say that's not how it went and I forgot to take a picture of it!!
Saturday was spent running... delivering cake, baking more cake, cleaning up here and there, then a trip to Natchez with Tara.  There is a very important wedding quickly approaching and Chonda Belle has no dress yet (but i know what I want).  But prior to our leaving, Justin had to get home so he could get the boys.  We wondered why he was taking his time getting home, but now we know.  He was showing off his catch:
Not sure of size I think I remember 10lbs and some odd ounces... Enough to place him second in a tournament.

Sunday morning I kinda realized I was suppose to have Colten's cake ready for lunch..  All I had done was baked the "shell".  So a quickly I threw together a turtle cake.  This was just for family, so I didn't go all out.  I think he was rather happy with the outcome. 
Happy 4th Birthday to my Blue Eye, Blond Hair boy!!!
