Rubber Ducky Birthday Cake

This year the girl wanted a ducky cake for her birthday. She didn't really have a reason, just that she wanted ducks. I think she was trying to copy her brother's turtle cake without being too obvious about it.

So I found a ducky cake on Pinterest and shamelessly copied it.


She was quite pleased.


I took the leftovers to work and people kept asking who was having a baby. Because, really, it's a baby shower cake.

But, hey, it made her happy. Especially the giant sunglasses-wearing rubber ducky on top. It lights up.

Well, that's all for now.

Enjoy!

Turtle Birthday Cake

Image
Ha!  Fooled you!  It's not a chocolate and caramel and pecan birthday cake. (Although that would be lovely, in my opinion.)  It's a cake shaped like a turtle!! Because that's what the boy wanted. I was actually quite happy with how it turned out. I got the idea off of Pinterest, of course. The design as a whole is a mash-up of two different cakes that I saw. I wanted to do more on the base cake, but I was literally finishing up the border as we walked out the door. My time management wasn't the best with this one. The square cake is two giant layers of lemon cake, torted, with two layers of home-made lemon curd filling and one layer of buttercream filling. It was gigantic. It stood almost 5 1/2 inches high (not including the turtle on top) and was incredible heavy. I should have weighed it. The turtle is a 6" round cake, vanilla-almond with buttercream filling. We served it at the party and then I took the rest to work on Monday. It was pretty good. I...

Cross Country Cookies

Image
 Hey, long time no blog! Life just keeps on happening, and that's the only excuse I have. The kids are growing up rapidly. The boy is in high school, and the girl is in middle school. Both of them run cross country, so I (finally) got around to making cookies for them. The school logo and some general cross-country themed cookies, along with a saying from their coach. And just so this isn't the world's shortest blog post, here's a picture of my vintage kitchen: It's a weird mix of 40's and 50's, but as I'm working off of Craig's List for my décor, it's the best I can do.  Well, that's all for now.  Enjoy!

Blogiversary Giveaway (Closed)

Image
It's my first Blogiversary!  And to celebrate the completion of my first year as an official Blogger (can I add that to my resume now?), I am having a little giveaway.  Nothing much, just some fun cookie stuff I got at the local cake decorating store.  They have everything and I love them.  And they've been around for decades.  So they really know their stuff. I picked up some cookie cutters.  America, a hummingbird, a frog and a butterfly.  It has been really hard to let the last three go (if you read this blog with any regularity, you know I already have the America cutter), and I may have to go back for more cutters soon. Disco Dust!  Peacock, Raspberry and Rainbow.  A second peacock may have fallen into my shopping basket by mistake. CK Meringue Powder.  I've never tried it, but I've heard great things.  I used a different brand for Christmas cookies (Lorann) and it was pretty great.  It didn't have the ...
