Train cake

I was asked if I could make a train cake for 3 kids who were celebrating their birthday.

Each child requested a different flavored cake, and a different color frosting.

William turned 1, and enjoyed Carrot Cake with Green Cream Cheese Frosting.

Vella turned 3, and enjoyed a Strawberry cake with of course Pink Frosting.

Henry turned 7 and he enjoyed Chocolate Cake (Dairy Free) and Yellow Frosting.

I made the engine out of the Chocolate Cake.

Happy Birthday William, Vella and Henry!

Many thanks Jillian!

Ashley and Ryan's Shower Goodies

Ashley and Ryan are getting married in August, and Ashley and I have been communication over e-mail details about the wedding since February...Ashley and Ryan live in Texas which is a long way away from Door County where the wedding will be.

It worked out that they could spend Memorial Day here in Door County so rather than taking them away from their family that they were here to visit, and since a wedding shower was planned, I made their cake testing into their wedding shower goodies.

I made three different cakes, and some cookies for the occasion, rumor has it that tallies were taken and everyone had their "vote" as to which cake the Bride and Groom should choose.

The three cake flavors that I made were as follows, and Italian Crème Cake with cream cheese frosting between the layers and the covered in butter cream, a Lemon Cake with a layer of Strawberry and then topped in butter cream, and lastly a Lemon Poppy seed Cake with a layer of Lemon that was topped in butter cream.

Thanks Lois, Ashley and Ryan!

Last year for Henry's Birthday I made Yoda cookies and a cake, this year I made these cookies. Henry requested that the cookies be the Rolled out Chocolate Chip. Henry's cake will be made in a few days so make sure you check it out.

Happy 7th Birthday Henry!

Taylor and Brody's Lego™ Birthday

Taylor and Brody are celebrating their 7th and 5th Birthday parties today.

I made them Lego™ cakes and Ninjago cakes for the occasion. 3 of the 4 cakes are a chocolate cake; the Green Lego™ is a vanilla cake.

For some reason the green Lego™ gave me the hardest time...and I literally stripped Fondant off of it 5 times, and finally settled with how it looks.

Happy Birthday Taylor and Brody!

Thanks Amber!

Brasen's 6th Birthday

Craig's Rob Cake

Craig celebrated his birthday back in April, but is "celebrating" it this weekend with a "Rob".

Happy Belated Birthday Craig!

~Enjoy! ~

Craig’s wife Crystal can’t have gluten, so I saved her a Gluten Free cupcake that I made last week, and topped it with the same chocolate buttercream and threw it in as a surprise for her.

Daniel and Becky's Wedding treats

Daniel and Becky are getting married this weekend, and I had the honor of making some cookies for their rehearsal dinner and gift opening.

I worked with Daniel's Aunt Jen on the cookie order and the Irish Trinity Knot, was present on the invitations as well as other items, so Jen wanted to try to incorporate that into the cookies, and then I came up with the idea of "Just Married" car cookies for the gift opening.

Congrats Daniel and Becky!

Many thanks Jen!

~ Enjoy! ~

Today is Jen's daughter McKenzie's Birthday so I made her a special Birthday cookie that she got to eat first thing this morning before school. 

~ Happy Birthday McKenzie ~

LIVESTRONG

Ripon College Graduation

Sue's son Joe is graduating from Ripon College this weekend and Sue thought it would be fun to bring some cookies. I made Graduation Hats or Mortarboards and then the Ripon College school logo.

As Sue picked up her cookies I shared with her that a young woman that we know is graduating from high school and attending Ripon College, she insisted that I take and share a Ripon College cookie, so Kenzie...I've got a treat for you. :)

Thanks Sue!
