Owls, Owls and more Owls

Everyone that knows me or has ever been in my home, knows that the one thing that I collect and seem to really love are owls.  I'm not exactly sure when this obsession started, but yes, it is a little out of control.  My husband asks each time that a new owl comes into the house, "Isn't about time to move onto something else?"

I am actually starting to run out of places to sit them now, so maybe the answer to that question is Yes.   BUT, not so fast.  I can just make them out of cake, right?  Then they don't really stick around but I can take a picture of them and keep them forever! 

Just recently I decided to play a little one weekend.  Of course I ended up with an owl cake.  Here is "Owlivia".  She was so cute, I just couldn't bear to eat any of her - but I gave her to my mom and the ladies at our office said she was mighty tasty!!

I'm so proud of her... hopefully another one to follow soon!  :)

Spongebob Squarepants!

I am a Spongebob fan, I have 2 boys who both like Spongebob and even my husband likes the cartoon too.  "Who lives in a pineapple under the sea?"  Once you hear that, you are hooked... I don't care what age you are.

Luckily for me, I got the opportunity to make a Spongebob cake for a dear friend's son.  He is a huge Spongebob fan and looks like his little sister will be too.

Here is what I was able to make for him.

My almost 9 year old told me later that his tie needed to be a bit bigger, but I think he looks pretty darn good for the first Spongebob.  I hear that he tasted really good too!

He was made with vanilla cake and vanilla buttercream, covered in fondant decorations.
