Army Birthday and two others

Well last Friday was a busy cake day. It was my husbands birthday which he requested my daughters newest creation of a chocolate chip pie, which is a yummy chocolate chip cookie crust, chocolate mousse filling, layer of chocolate gnash, whipped cream on top and decorated with chocolate chips. So we made two for him and took them up to his work. One we did make happy birthday out of chocolate chips but of course I forgot to take a picture. They were a huge success at work!

Then last week was a neighbors birthday so I wanted to give her a birthday cake so I made this yummy looking cake. It was chocolate cake with a really large layer of chocolate mousse (I love the stuff!) in the middle, then covered in butter cream icing drizzled in chocolate gnash and decorated in chocolate shavings which started out trying to say Happy Birthday but gave up and just covered the top. :)

Then to finish up a great birthday cake day I made this army cake. I made the cake and the mom put on all the figures which you could also use trucks and things. I think it turned out really cute for a neat army birthday! The little boy loves the color orange so I tinted the white cake which is the bottom layer a light orange. Hopefully he realized it was orange?

Well, it has been awhile so here is a cake for my good neighbor friend. It looks pretty cute and super easy! It was a yummy strawberry flavor. eal birthday I made her this raspberry gnash pie. It was kind of like a raspberry truffle with a crust. She really likes raspberry and chocolate together so I thought this was perfect for her. I think I will try it with strawberries next time for me. :)

Breast Cancer Cake

Well, with some thought and debate I went ahead a posted this cake on my blog, since I think it is exactly what they wanted for this surprise party to celebrate a friend surviving breast cancer. She is done with chemo and radiation and it will be a festive party with pink food & cocktails. Also to make it a fun evening.. you MUST wear a wig.. the crazier the better! Sadly we won't make it due to my daughter dance recital, but I am sending this yummy strawberry cake! I hope they like it!

Lion King Birthday

Well, today finished out my week worth of cakes. It was my daughters friends birthday and they had a Lion King Birthday so I did this cake for them. I think it turned out great!

Pink and White Birthday cake

Today I made a pink and white birthday cake. She fell in love with one I had done in the past and thought she had to have it just the same. :) It is cute, hope they enjoy it!

Teacher Appreciation Cake

Well this week is a week of cakes. This is my third cake to make although I forgot to take pictures of the first two. :( One was for my sons birthday party play date which was just a baseball and the other was a banana nut cake for my friend that moved away. :( (We already miss you!) Then I have two more to go which you will see in the next couple days.

This is a cake I made to take to my daughters school for teacher appreciation day. The teachers get a half day off and get to gather together to visit and eat desserts and appetizers that parents make. So this is what I will take. Hope they like it!

2nd Ball Birthday Party

Well, yesterday was my sons second birthday party. :( It is sad to think my baby boy is already two and I will never have another little baby, but he sure is cute! We had a great outdoor ball birthday party for him. Not everyone wanted to play all the fun games I had planned but they had fun bouncing and riding on outdoor toys in the driveway since the backyard was wet from all the rain.

I made several different balls for cake. Italian cream cake for the baseball in the upper left, chocolate sheet cake for the football half with nuts and half without in the upper right, then lots of little balls, golf balls in grass, bowling ball, basketball, and baseball were lemon flavored. It was a great party!
