Little Man Mustache and Top Hat cake

White chocolate Ruffles, and a Big Mustache make this the perfect baby shower or grooms cake.

The Base cake is hard to see in the pictures. It is a box with wood grain, and air brushed to inhance the knot holes. All done in a combination milk and dark chocolate, that melts in your mouth.

The second tier is delicately painted with gold, and grey giving a more rustic manly feel.

The top hat made a perfect piece of cake for the mother to be's daughter, to make her feel special. It would also make a perfect smash cake of that special one year old.

Coffee Cake Baby Shower

Sometimes a cake takes on a whole new look. My daughters and I put together a Baby Shower for my Oldest daughter and her baby girl. After having two boys in a row, she was doubting weather or not she would get her girl. Statistics and all.

But as soon as she had her ultrasound, the plans began.

So many of her friends were having babies, and so many showers looked similar. We decided to have a breakfast shower. We made parfaits, sausage, bisquits, bacon, homemade jams, did I mention BACON!

We came up with ideas that were a bit different.

Took baby Evelyn's name and created decorations suitable.

Lots of donut holes mounted to trees.

The cake at this party, was a coffee cake , made from a recipe handed down from Baby Evelyn's Great Grandmother.

A bit of quiche and french toast.

A bit of milk to wash it all down.

Fresh fruit,

And Family. Ther perfect party.

Transformed Butterfly Cake

Baby Twila was expected, and everyone was excited for her arrival. The Dr's said she would not live long as she carried a gene that would not allow for her survival. When her church called and asked for a Baby Shower cake, I was a little taken aback. Why?

Twila was not expected to last a day, what would anyone buy for a baby not expected to survive. I dug deep. What kind of cake would I make for such an occasion. I imagined Twila... I closed my eyes and saw this sweet baby growing inside her mothers womb. I remembered the verse in the bible that speeks of our Lord knowing us, and knitting us together in the innermost parts. I imagined a butterfly in all its stages. That was it. This most beautiful baby girl would grow and emerge from her mother. She would be most beautiful. Her wings would dry, and then, (we expected) Twila would fly away.

Much to our surprise, Twila did come, She did amaze us with her beauty. Twila touched so many hearts. All this was expected. What was not expected, but hoped for, is that Two years later...Twila is still touching so many hearts. She is most beautiful. God has surprised and amazed all of us. Never underestimate that He can do far Above and beyond all that we could ever fathom.
