Nail polish spa party cake.This cake was super fun to make. I embossed the fondant to look like real cotton pads. Also the spilled nail polish was dusted with edible gold luster dust. It was a hit at the party and super yummy too. :-)

Purse cake.A good friend of mine is a consultant and sales person for the ever popular Miche purse line. It was her 40th Birthday and her husband called me in a panic. "I forgot to order a cake, help! What can I do?" Well. Leave it to me to fashion a purse on the spot. This was a really fun cake to make and I used one of my Limited edition Miche purse shells as inspiration. She loved it and yes, it was super yummy too.

Goooooaaaaalllllll!!!!! Another fun cake.
I was asked to make a birthday cake for a young lady turning 10. All the information I was given was she loved the color yellow, she loved the sport of soccer, her jersey number was #4 and her team uniform was all black! So this is what I came up with. It was a hit! The ball looked really cool too. I used MMfondant hexagons and pentagons on the soccer ball, Yellow and Black MM fondant on the sides and green buttercream piped like grass on the top.

My new venture: COOKIES!!

After watching the Cricut Cake Class on line, with Jinger, I was inspired and excited to play with cookie dough. I made my own sugar cookie recipe and chilled my dough in the fridge before I rolled it out on the Cricut Cake mat. Then after rolling it out I put it in the freezer for about 5-6 mins (just to stiffen up). The cookie dough cut very nicely after freezing. The image I used was the notebook from the My Community cartridge. I layered 2 cuts together with the cookie stick in between. It worked perfectly! I made these cookies for the April birthdays at our elementary school. Since these worked so nicely I'm going to change the image every month to make it fun and interesting. Try it!!!

Here comes the Bride...... Phew, this weekend was nerve wrecking. I was asked by a friend to make her wedding cake. To me thats a tall order! I have been making cakes for not very long but I love to create, so to be asked was an honor, (but man, I have to admit, I was kinda scared. It's the centerpiece of the wedding (other than the bride of course!). So I researched all the wedding stuff I could and as they say "just do it!" So here is the result. I think it turned out pretty good and I was very happy that it didn't fall over or bubble! Mission complete.... lol (NEXT!) lol

Here are this weekend cakes. I made a cute 19th birthday cake for a young lady in college and matching 1st birthday cakes for a little Prince and Princess. The pink birthday cake had a beautiful strand of pearls on top that were dusted with pearl dust. I also strung them on floss so they actually looked like a pearl necklace. This cake flavor was vanilla with chocolate hazelnut filling. Then the 1st birthday cakes, these were really big. They were 50 servings a piece! And they also had matching smash cakes for the babies. The cakes looked super cute on the table. I hope everyone enjoyed them. The two cake flavors were chocolate with oreo cookies and cream filling and white vanilla with chocolate chip filling. Yummy!!!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Here's the card I made for my 4 year old son to hand out to his friends today at preschool. My son picked the alien so I had to come up with a way to use it in a Valentine's card. I think it turned out pretty cute.

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Oh my, that WAS a long time that I've been away and haven't posted anything on my blog. So sorry. Life here just "took off" over the holidays and, even though I was able to do a few crafting things, I have had no time to sit and post. I miss posting and hearing from everyone. So one of my New Year's resolutions for 2011 will be to be better about posting consistently. There, now it's in print. lol.

Ok, so here it goes. I have been experimenting with fabric and my Cricut, and here is what I got. I love these custom onesies. For the girl one I used my tried and true Doodle Charms cartridge. I just cut off the candle on the cupcake and layered the dots and stripes. Then for the boy onesie I used the sandcastle on the Life's A Beach cartridge.
The cuts were ironed on using Heat and Bond Each onesie was coupled with a matching burp cloth. Fun, "sew" sweet and "sew" simple. Then it's always nice to have a sweet matching card.

Try one. :-)

I promise, I'm still here. I've just been so over whelmed by cake orders that I haven't had a minute to spare to post them all. lol. That's a good problem. I now have all the photos in my computer and will be posting them soon. Thanks for being patient! :-) Oh and I think I've found something "crafty" that people are willing to pay for!!! I'm so very excited. lol

Ok, I admit it, I'm addicted! I simply LOVE my Cricut Cake. I was asked to make a cake that coordinated with the colors of friends party. She showed me the invites and, voila! Here it is.


This cake was so much fun to put together! Spots and Dots! Yummy and all Chocolate! Enjoy!

Princess Pillow Cake
Yesterday was a big day for me. I finally proved to myself that I can make a really cool, worthy of payment, cake!! i offered to make a cake for a friends daughters 10th birthday. So I thought about it for a bit and went BIG! Right, isn't the saying "Go big or go home!" Well I went for it. I studied up on how to make a pillow cake. Well here is the final product! Yahooo it looks cool. The birthday girl loved it and I got so many Ooohhhhs and Aaaahhhhhs. Felt really gratifying. So Here it it. I used two 8" squear pans and put them botton to bottom. Iced it covered it with homemade marshmallow fondant. I used the Cricut Cake to make the tiara and words. The cartridges I used were Storybook and elegant cakes. Thanks for looking. (Oh, I've already got and order for my very first PAID cake!! Yahoo)

Here is the picture, like promised, of the banner I made for a friends baby boy's 1st birthday. The party was all airplane theme and was so super cute. I used Everyday Paper Dolls for the Airplane and Basic Cakes for the font. The cloud shapes were cut from Elegant Cakes I believe. I embossed every other cloud with either swiss dots or swirls then rubbed them with a baby blue ink pad for relief. It really turned out great. And the party was so beautiful!

A friend of mine has a little boy just turning 1 and she chose a plane theme for his birthday. His name is Jett so the theme is perfect. I made a cute banner for her and this card. I don't have pictures of the banner yet but here is the card I made for him. I have a feeling this party is going to be super cute!!

Sorry, I have been away for a while. Our family went on a vacation to sunny California. Or should I say cloudy and cold. It was the coldest July I had ever seen. The beaches were empty but we still managed to find some fun. Now I'm back and have been craftin' like a mad woman! lol Here are a few pictures of the cards I've made. I have a little baby boys 1st birthday card and banner coming. Jett is having an airplane party. Too cute. I'll post pictures when I have them, :-)

Here is a simple but really cute teacher gift. I simply took a roll of Pillsbury sugar cookie dough, rolled it in some red sugar and sliced it. Bake them as the directions call and when you take them out push three mini chocolate chips in to the center to resemble the seeds. I packaged mine in plain ziploc baggies and made a topper using the apple from Plantin Schoolbook. They were a hit.

Wow, This was a really fun project. A good friend of mine asked me to embellish a cake for her sons high school graduation party. The Theme was Luau.

I used Life's A Beach Cartridge for all my cuts. They are all in card stock and then glued to skewers and just stuck into the top of the cake. The word "Congratulations" is up at the top on leaves and flowers

Here's a close up of the cute chairs with a bikini and swim trunks on. Also there are little flip flops and a fruity umbrella drink.

The little geckos were too cute not to put on there too. I made the waves that are around the sides with MM Fondant on the Cricut Cake. That machine is way to much fun!!

Behind the chairs were a pair of really cute flamingos and some palm trees. The flamingos means something to the family so we had to put them in there.

We had the new graduates name up on the main surf board.

Then these surf boars were the initials of his High school and his college. The turtles were so cute too. And yet another flamingo.
And last but not least the little crab, sand dollars and the turtles. Like I said, Phew! All done and it tasted really good!!! Thanks for looking.

Last weekend I made a bunch of these Cherry cards for some good friends. I'm really lovin' the Paisley cartridge. So many cute possibilities, now I just have to find some more time!! lol Funny too as I made this one, Melanie from Courtney Lane Designs made one too. Great minds think alike.

My Pink Stamper Challenge #2 Gettin' Scrappy


Finally got around to doing my thankyou notes from my sons birthday and I used all the scraps from the party invites. Phew. I used PDDU for the dinos and WIMG for the saying.

My Pink Stamper Challenge #10 May Day


I so very much loved this card when I saw it first on Joy's Blog Obsessed with Scrapbooking. I had to try one for myself. I changes a few things up but isn't it too cute! Thank Joy. The flower was done with Forever Young.
