Booby Alert! Breast Cancer Awareness Cake

                          October Is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

  In honor of all those who fight to cure cancer I thought I would share a special cake I made.
   The local hardware store, Ward's Do It Center, asked me to make them some sort of breast cake a couple years ago for an auction they were attending for Breast Cancer Awareness.

This is what I decided on. A torso cake with a pretty pink bra seemed perfect. yet I wanted it to stand out, so i made it stand up! Successfully, I am proud to say, it raised the most money there! I wish I had better pictures of it but maybe someone out there does!

I just pray it didn't go to some creep! HA HA HA!

I figured it was art, and for a good cause, not trashy, so I was cool with making it.  My favorite part is all the detail. The lace, tattoo, flowers, and initials. 

This is also gives me a unique opportunity. a different sort of breast cancer awareness. Prevention. Everyone knows to go get checked, but did you know that breast feeding your baby is a cancer fighter?!  Plus the longer you do,  the better it works, adding more and more benefits for you and your baby. Talk to your doctor about it today.

Pretty fun and an honor to help out such a great cause as Breast Cancer Awareness.

So whatever the saying you want to plug in for you to remember, do so now. Go get your mammograms and your paps, done! Use October as your yearly anniversary to do it. Or give yourself a great birthday present and call your doctor today to set it up for the same week. Pretty much all doctors book in advance. So don't use any excuses. Call today!

Have you ever made a dessert for an auction? Have you ever had a cake auction?

Forest Fire Helicopter

This one was for an awesome company who flies helicopters that put out forest fires. Pretty cool huh? 

Now that my husband is a fire fighter, it is even cooler.

All the fire, water, and trees were free hand frosted right on the cake with butter cream. YUM! The blades are made of dark chocolate piped into shape. This custom cake was styled exactly like the picture of the actual helicopter they use. I even got to see it land as I was dropping it off. Super awesome!!!

Camping Cake

                                                                                                      Summer is by far my favorite time of year. AS a family we love to be outdoors. In honor of all things summer, here is a special cake! One of my favorite creations, because of the details, I take pride in sharing my design. This camping cake is actually totally sugar free! I made a special sugar free fondant for one of my diabetic friends. Which ended up sort of shiny and translucent. At first I panicked, but as usual, what I view as a huge mess up, leads to be my favorite part of the creation at hand. The car was fashioned after one her dad had as they were kids. There are even diabetic thin mints for the wheels. Growing up we always went camping. Creating a scene of pure camping joy was so fun, I can't wait to do it again!

 Complete with marshmallows and a fishing pole!

I love the fish in the water.

Then a little edible sparkle to make it glisten. They absolutely loved it! The perfect cake for the perfect outdoor family. If you like it, follow us on facebook and pinterest! Thanks everyone! Don't forget make it a great summer! Go camping!

Leaping Lizards Cake Girl!

On my oldest's fourth birthday, my animal and lizard lover, asked for a chameleon cake. Actually, at first it was a leopard gecko cake, then he changed his mind.

I piped melted white chocolate that I dyed green for the lizards and trees. then I covered the rest in home made butter cream frosting! YUM!

The cupcakes were a hit too with heart sprinkles to match!

Well, I think it was a success!!!

Sponge Bob Cake

This year my six year old son, picked a Sponge Bob cake for his bowling alley party. 

He absolutely loved it!! I swore before he was born, my kids wouldn't watch this show, but...

My funny fire fighter hubby has a quirky silly sense of humor the boys and I share.

We are always laughing and find humor in just about everything. LOVE it! 

So I couldn't put too much of a fight up when the little boys and my bug boy bonded

over this silly yellow sponge's annoying laugh, or oddly smart humor, once you watch it.

I suppose I survived sneaking the Simpsons' and MTV in at a friend,s house, they will survive this too.
