Now for the real mccoy!

Well;

I haven't been THAT busy the past two weeks (oh thank goodness) - I needed the rest!!!

But I've managed to do a few.....

At the end of THIS week I'll post again.....it's gonna be hectic!!!!


Matthew's birthday called for a Rock Roar Dinosaur cake - this was my attempt:

Rock Roar Dinosaur Cake



Rock Roar Dinosaur Party



I also did the party decor.......it was for one year olds, so we decided on lowered tables and cushions for them to sit on - so much less to worry about!! No falling of chairs!!



The next party was also a first birthday party - this time BARNEY!!!!

The cakes was a mix and match affair of ideas from our best friend - GOOGLE.

Barney and Friends Cake

Barney Cake

Hmmm - I don't know!!



Baby Bob Cake



Wellll......dinos was the theme of the month....so from Barney to the real thing....

Dinosaur Cake

Ahhh - a change of pace with SpongeBob Squarepants. These crabby patty cookie recipe I got from the Internet. OMW - yum yum yum yum. I'll post the link later (when I find it again).

 

And.....you guessed it....back to the dinos again!!!! The cupcake toppers are copied from a pic on makicakes.com (OMW - that lady is positively talented!!). Ja ja - I know the cake looks more like a dragon than a dinosaur....but hey...next time I'll do the one with the spikes around the neck. I think that will help with the "dino" look.

 


Oooo - yummy. Original sugar cookies (shape sort of like dinos!). Nothing beats "ouma's" sugar cookies!!!


Dinosaur Cookies

 OK OK. The dinosaur/dragon cake:

Dinosaur Cake or Dragon Cake - You choose!!

Last but not least........a Cowboy Cake. It will be delivered tomorrow morning. I really hope they like it!!!

Nou ja toe - time for bed!!

Hmmmm - when mommy is not so alert!!!

Howdy everyone.....

My latest cake creation:

Hehe - or rather my daughter's cake creation. While my back was turned my 16 month old daughter carefully took the cake (that was JUST within her reach), placed it neatly on the ground and proceeded to have dinner.

I'm afraid that I'm raising a cake-o-holic. OH DEAR!!!

Bad Bad Bad

Oeegg

I've been soooo bad at posting - can you believe it???
I'm very very very embarrassed!!

What have I done so far you may ask - well, let me show you....

I did a FarmYard cake - and would you believe it - I didn't take a picture of the completed cake. OMW!!! What I can show you is the tractor I made for the cake as well as the animals:

Animals for Farmyard cake

I also did some cupcake toppers for the Farmyard theme:

Next I did a Disney Cars themed cake. Lightning McQueen and Mater was to be 3D. I started off with some green fondant (no it's not soap - although it looks like it) left over from the day before (from the farmyard cake). I shaped it in the form of McQueen and Mater:

The start of Lightning McQueen and Mater

In process!!

After I've done the fondant 'base' I covered it with sugar paste. I like using sugar paste - it works easier for me than fondant mixed with CMC or tylose. I make my own sugar paste using Wiltons Gum-Tex and the recipe on the tin!

The finished Mater

All that was left was to complete the cake:

Disney Cars cake

My next assignment was a motorcycle cake - LOL. I can ride a motorcycle, but to make it into a cake???
To be honest - I was a bit, hmmm, apprehensive...:
What do you think?

Motorcycle cake

My friend from work (ok - the old work), usually brings me second hand clothing for my daughter to wear to daycare. They get soo dirty that it's a total waste dressing them in new clothes!! So I offered to bake her a cake for her daughters birthday as 'payment':

Cow cake

My first really tiered cake was copied from a Google search pic (blush) - but, I had to get inspiration somewhere!!

Fire engine cake

Well - that's all for now...
I have some more pic, but I'll post later....too tired now. I got a 'lekker' cold from my daughter, so off to bed with me!!!
See ya!
