New cakes and Zoo creatures....

This cake was for a pastor that is turning 40....He loves Starbucks and doughnuts and this is what we came up with!

This "cake doughnut" is actually 2 ten inch rounds.... glazed in melted buttercream and topped with dark chocolate fondant (my new fav!).
The napkin and the "sweetener" packet are in fondant. The coffee cup was also cake. The base of the cake (the "table") is a double sheet in buttercream covered in chocolate fondant. This was a HEAVY cake! You may not be able to understand the size but this cake will feed 100.... did I mention it was HEAVY?!!!!?


The Falcon's last game of the season....lemme tell ya, spring ball is a LOT sweatier (is that a word?) than fall ball! Whew!




Isaac and Coach Dewayne....



For Isaac's end of the year Luau..... I will try to get a pic/video of him doing the "Hookie Lau".....



Everything is edible but the umberella pole!



On Memorial Day we went to the zoo.... it was pretty hot and they had the misters on! The kids LOVED them! We needa get one of these at our house!





Riding the train.... classic scene at our house..... BaileyRose is excited about something and Ike is lookin' at her like she is crazy!



Isaac made this shirt with his GrandTone.... we tried to convince him NOT to put his name on his shirt (safety reasons and all that boring stuff). At one point, GrandTone mentioned that if he wrote only his name on his shirt that he would not be able to pass it on to his (much beloved) cousin, Sam. This was Isaac's solution to THAT dilemia....... gotta love a man with a mind....





Our blonde beauty riding the carosel....


This cake was for a little gal that was turning 90 and was an avid golfer! This was such fun to do and I learned a lot about golf equipment (thanks Rae Rae!) !




I didn't have a pic of what she looked like so I had to come up with this figure from a verbal description..... the "sand" is graham cracker/raw sugar. I FINALLY got to buy those chocolate rocks! Everytime I see them I wish I had a reason to buy them! This was a full sheet in buttercream and fondant....
