Happy 1st Birthday Christian

Cookie Monster......

My little Cookie Monster just turned 1, and guess who made his cake? Me, that is. This cake was fun and also frustrating. I wasn't too sure on the final design until I started decorating the cake, but I think it came out great. It took about 6 hours to put together, once again, way long that it should have taken but then again I was chasing after my little birthday boy and decorating the cake at the same time.

I am stoked that it turned out so well and also that the head didn't fall off while it was driven downtown to the party by my brother and Big Tony.

Below you can check out what happened to the cake after we hacked into it... yummy cake :) Poor Cookie Monster, he didn't have a chance. 36 hungry people against you.

Happy 1st Birthday Madison

Ladybug in a Garden.... well that is what I am calling this cake.
This was my first attempt at making a cake for someone other that my family. I can actually say that I am super happy it turned out really well.
The cake got rave reviews from the birthday girl and all her guest... which is the best :)

It took about 1 week to actually make everything. It would have taken less time, but then again I have a baby running around and very little me time to work on my cakes. The results were well worth it. It makes me a little sad that it was all gobbled up and there is nothing that remains but my pictures.
