Friendly Frank Cupcakes...

 
 
 
I made these cute little Frankenstein cupcakes
for my mother-in-law who runs a daycare
and was having a Halloween party for
the little kids.
I simply used a box chocolate cake for these
as kids mostly just lick the frosting off anyways;)
I had some leftover fondant from the
Halloween baby shower cake I made
a few post back
and I just used that to make the little Frankenstein
people. Of course I had 5 boy versions & 3 girl versions
so there would be no fighting! (LOL)

Girlie Halloween Cake...

 
 
 
I made this cake for a friend of mine
We combined a bunch of different cake designs that
we saw online & took from those our favorite parts
& made the colors girlie.
 
I love this cake it was so fun to make & each detail
made it sweeter:)
 
The cake itself is all chocolate
The bottom tier is a 10" 2 layer with butter cream filling
The top tier is a 6" 3 layer with a 1/2 sport ball pan
to make the rounded head shape, all filled with butter cream.

DIY Fireman Halloween costume...

This is my son's Halloween costume from last
year...he just had to be a fireman & I didn't want
some cheesy Wal-mart fireman costume
so I came up with this
 
I got the coat from the goodwill its a mans
sport jacket.
Then I took some yellow duct tape
and did the collar, front, bottom & sleeves
like a real fireman jacket
I added the little ID badge from a dollar tree toy
and the American flag was an iron on patch

This is the back
 I used iron on letters
for his name

No fireman is complete without his firetruck
This is from a box
I painted it red added some black plates for the wheels
and yellow cupcake liners for the headlights

 
This is my little fireman on his party
 

This is him on Halloween night
trick-or-treating
while pushing his baby brother
isn't that just the sweetest?
 
 

Less messy sand...

 
What do we do on summer vacation?
we made colored sand from rice!
 
 
 
All we did was take some rice
scoop it into a baggie
and add a few drops of food color
Each kid had fun coating each grain of rice
in their desired color

 
I put it on some of my baking dishes and
we sat it outside in the hot sun to dry for an hour
then it was playtime!!

 
Here is the tutorial on how exactly to make it:

Party time with Elmo...

 
 
This is the cake I made for my little guy who turned 2!
He loves Elmo & I made him this big Elmo cake that
was so bright & colorful  then as I was
trying to snap a picture I hit the cake board
& it went right in the floor at 2AM!!!
 
What does a mommy do? I can't have my son disappointed on his birthday
& I wasn't about to spring for a yucky Wal-mart cake with no Elmo
So this mommy stayed up all night and re-made this cake...
 
 
Happy Birthday
to my baby boy ADAM
I love you!

WWE & John Cena CAKE!!

 
 
 
 
 
 
I made this cake for my son who is obsessed with
John Cena & everything WWE!
He was very specific about how he wanted his cake
to look:)
 
 
This is an 8" marble with gananche filling
and a 6" chocolate, chocolate-chip cake with
 ganache filling!! YUMMY
 
 
The entire is cake is covered in fondant with fondant
accents & the figures on top are his micro wrestlers
I also made the poles to the ring out of straws wrapped
in fondant & ribbon as the rope
 



This is my little cuties reaction to seeing his cake
for the first time & I would say by the dimples
that he loved it!!
 
 
 
My baby blowing out his candles
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU BABY!!


 
LOVE
