Cake Pops for the Cure!

On May 14th, I found out that my mom had just been diagnosed with breast cancer.  A very scary time in my life, didn't know what to do or what to think.  Many things went through my  mind, all of the what if's.  We waited for a couple weeks before telling my kids, as we didn't want to scare them for nothing.... if it was nothing.

We found out shortly that she would have to go through Chemotherapy treatments as well as have a mastectomy.  She has opted for a double mastectomy so the chances of it coming back are 0%.

Right  now she is currently into her second round of chemo and so far so good.  The lump is shrinking like it should and hopefully soon we'll say goodbye to breast cancer altogether. 

Thank you to all of our friends and family who have been so supportive.

I love you MOM!!  :-)

I am selling these cake pops for $2.00 a piece and all proceeds (100%) will go toward the Susan G Komen foundation in my mom's name.  Will be doing a bake sale soon too with tons of different goodies for sale and again, 100% of proceeds will again go toward the Cure.

Father's Day!

This post is way late... but Happy Father's Day!!  Here's a cake that I made for someone I work with... I love the shirt & tie theme for father's day.... such a masculine thing. 

More to come.... I've had alot on my plate - please read my next post.

Two tone cutie

This cake was fun and out of the box...  Happy Birthday to Judy.





The cake itself is vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream icing.  The flowers and the hummbingbird are made from gumpaste.

Gamers ... this ones for you!

My son plays a PS3... I have never played an Xbox, never really seen one- so when I had an order for an Xbox 360 controller cake, I had to consult with an expert.  He's 12!  :)
I think that this one looks pretty darn good if you ask me... especially for never doing a cake like this before!

Baseball time in Tennessee

Had great fun making these cute little baseball cupcakes for an old friend... Unfortunately his son's game got rained out but I'm sure the team still enjoyed the sweets!!  :)

Nifty Nifty look who's Fifty!!

Happy Birthday John...

This cake was for a lady's husband in our Nashville office.  He turned 50 this year and this was only fitting.  Cake is a strawberry cake with cream cheese icing..... can you ask for a better treat??   Other cool cakes coming up this month.... on tap is a Xbox remote control cake and a Spiderman/Batman cake.  Should be lots of fun!!

Baby Shower time...

My latest cake was for a baby shower... this one put me a little out of my element because I had to use rice krispy treats for parts of it.  Tedious work, but it came out wonderfully.  I was really impressed with myself on this one.
