A winter 30th birthday bash...

 One of my dearest friends recently turned 30 so a few of us got together to celebrate!  I made her cake and the theme of the party wintery since her birthday is in December!
I made detailed fondant snowflakes to decorated the cake along with a large bow and 30 topper...I found this beautiful cake idea on Pinterest from www.pinkcakebox.com



 
Here is the tablescape before the yummy Mexican food got there!  The banner on the front of the table has "Holly is 30!" on it...

 Some of the details of the tablescape...

 Each guest table had a winter themed centerpiece...each one a little different from the other...all featured snowflakes, candles and sparkly Christmas ornaments.


 

Green and blue football cake...

 A sweet little boy recently turned seven and wanted a football birthday party...His mom asked me to make a cake for him and he had much imput...LOL!  He knew what he wanted and asked for this cake and wanted it in blue and green! Hope he had a great day!



A winter wonderland first birthday...

 I was asked to make a cake first birthday cake by a sweet friend of mine...they had an idea in mind that they found on Pinterest so this is what we ended up with... a winter "one"derland!


I made sugar cookies to decorate around the outside of the red velvet cake with cream cheese icing...
 This was the baby's smash cake made to look like a peppermint.  I also made the cake bases for each each cake out of melted peppermints....too cute!


Here are few close up pictures of the decorated sugar cookies they ordered for the party as well.
 Here are some pictures from the actual party with the cake completely decorated with the lollipops!
Didn't she do a fabulous job styling the tablescape for the party??!!! Love it!

A cowboy cake...

 This was a cake that was ordered for a little boy who wanted a cowboy cake.  I made a huge buckle with his name on it as the feature item...
 Each letter was hand cut and placed on the embellished "belt buckle"
 The top layer was designed to look like a cowboy bandana wrapped with a rope.  The bottom layer was textured like denim to hold the belt and buckle...
 Of course, what every cowboy cake needs is a cowboy hat to top it off!
Finishing touches included a huge sheriff's badge with the child's age on it....He loved his cake! Yay!

A little baseball cake...

 This baseball themed cake was made for a sweet little boy who was moving away.  He likes baseball so I decided to go that route...He and his family are truly missed around our town!
