Scott's Birthday

So for Scott's birthday he wanted to go to Tucano's. We went the friday before his birthday. We had a great time! And as a shocker for all who know us...we ate fish! it was their sea food week or something. i don't even know what exactly they were....just know it was fish. 2 out of 3 were ok tasting. but it was fun!

as for his actual birthday, we had a nice night in. I made dinner and he opened his gifts. I got his a power 90 workout deal, a new razor and socks (the exciting gifts), a Real Soccer scarf (cause he's a fan now...and i needed gift ideas so i went along) and my personal favorite a Corn Dog making machine thing. you mix up the batter and put it on the hot dog and cook it. It's not deep fried so it's healthy or something. haven't quite worked up the nerve to try it yet though. someday. Scott loves corn dogs...me, not so much.

Happy Birthday Scotter! Love you

Rubber Duckie!

This is the latest cake. We made this for Jeffrey's nephew who passed away. He loved Rubber Ducks. I was really excited to make this, because it's so cute. And i think it's special they celebrate his birthday. That would be so hard to loose a child, so my heart went into this cake.

The slats for the barrel are cookies, the rubber ducks are made of chocolate, the bubbles and flowers are made of royal icing. the only thing non edible is the ribbon around the barrel.

The sign is made of gum paste. The cake is devil's food decorated with cream cheese frosting.

Where's Waldo

our nephew Tanner had a fun night at our reception....can you figure out why?
in our sign in book under this picture it read "you know we love and support you to have done this (we have no clue who the little boy is in the picture)"

Peace out!

My favorite are the faces he pulls!!!

He just couldn't get enough...these pictures are spread out throughout the whole night. He just kept going back!

We had a pretty good laugh when we were looking through the book...playing where's tanner.

finally!

so i've finally got my blog going of just cakes. So if you are interested in just seeing the cakes, go to the All Tiered Up blog listed to the right. I've had a ton of fun developing skills in cake decorating. i couldn't have done it without the support of my amazing husband, family and friends! thanks everyone!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY HUBBIE!!!

Scott loves the cartoon Phineus and Ferb. so i thought that would make a great birthday cake!

I made the characters out of gumpaste (a sugar substance that hardens quite hard to hold the form). I think Ferb is my favorite. my nephews liked Perry.

These are the two main characters. Each show they do a crazy outrageous adventures.

This is Ferb. He doesn't say much but when he does it's funny.

This is Phineus. He is the dreamer of the two. He always comes up with the idea... "Ferb, i know what we're going to do today!"

This is Perry their pet platapus. i have no idea how to spell that. he is posing as an undercover pet. he is really a spy....yup.

Here is the final cake. Scott saw the cake and said "it's only missing one thing, a tree." he was right. So we added a tree, perfect! I think it turned out pretty good. Scott seemed to love it which is all that matters!

I just want to tell Scott that i love him so much and i'm love having him as my husband! it has been a great year and i look forward to many more! Happy Birthday Babe!

Ben's birthday cake

My oldest brother Ben is celebrating his birthday Tuesday. Since we have a few b-days close we had a family party/dinner tonight. I made the cakes for both Ben and Scott. Ben loves to golf, so naturally i had to make a golf ball!

By far my favorite thing about this cake was eating it!!! Gabe and Sam (my nephew's) loved to eat the grass. sam just kept saying "i like to eat grass" it was so cute! I used straws for support of scott's cake and they had fun with those also. when we pulled them out there was a little cake in the bottom so they sucked it out....and that is how they ate the rest of their cake, through the straw. at one point Gabe stuck his straw into the cake and started sucking cake through the straw, it was classic! anyway, happy birthday bro!

Another snow man cake

We were asked by a friend in our ward to make a snow man cake for a birthday party she was in charge of. honestly, i haven't had such a stressfull decorating experience yet. i didn't get off work until 6pm and the cake was due by 7! thanks to scott we were able to get it all decorated in time and delivered. i think it turned out great for how fast we did it!
