Karate Cake

I helped my friend Virginia make this Karate Cake for a function.  The cake was chocolate with vanilla buttercream, Virginia did all the work, I was just there for advise, support and touch ups.  She did a great job and I can't wait to see what she makes next.  I made the patches, one for the front of the gi the other was the patch that is on the back.  I found that to be the most difficult part since I can't draw and that dragon patch was very detailed.  

Not a bad match, right?  I used edible markers and then colored in using gels mixed with alcohol. 

Thanks for looking. Have a great day.

Lauren's Instagram Birthday Cake

My friend Michelle asked me to make a cake for her daughter's birthday.  While talking to her I asked what her favorite color (blue) was and tried to get ideas for what kind of cake she wanted.  While looking at all kinds of girly cakes she saw an instagram cake and said that was soooo cool.  So there sprung the idea. When we looked online at other cakes she pointed out a cute emoji.  I said "what's an emoji?" Yeah I am so up on today's lingo lol. I realized she meant the smiley faces....so hence this bright idea was born, she had no idea what I planned so it was a surprise for her.  I made 10 inch vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream. Covered it with fondant and made cake balls.  The cake balls were perfectly round but I had trouble with getting the coating smooth on each ball (hated this) and if you must know, cake balls are just too darn sweet with melted coating (yuck).  Anyway I had fun decorating each and making little faces on each emoji.   My kids helped with the faces, lots of fun for all.  The emojis took up most of my time, next time they will be flat disks on the side of the cake.  I wrote all over the cake and each written word had a # or an @.  This was just a fun cake to make. Happy Birthday Lauren!!!

Enjoy and have a great week.

Birthday card for Teen

Here is a card I made for my friend son's birthday who is 16 years old.  He loves video games so I thought this image was perfect.

I love my copic makers, they make any image pop with a little work.  Enjoy, Delia 

Cake for a friend

My friend Pat asked me for a small cake, something simple.  It had to be green and purple with the balls on the bottom.  She decided that the cake should have a cheerleading bow.  I looked online found a great tutorial and made my first bow.  The cake was 3-6 inch layers of vanilla cake with buttercream frosting with homemade fondant.  Here is the cake, no card for this post. 

Came out cute although I had some trouble with the fondant, I heard it was still delicious.  Happy Birthday Tiana.

Melanie's 50th Birthday

Happy birthday to my friend Melanie.  For her birthday I made her a card and a cake.  She specifically requested an orange flavored cake and it had to be orange and be a New York Mets cake.  Here is what I came up with:

 

Sofia's First Dance Recital and Thank You Cards

Sofia's first dance recital took place this week.  She couldn't have been happier, she absolutely loved every minute of it.  All the dance teachers were so patient and loving to the little ones, it was so great to be part of such a team.  Thank you Star Struck, I look forward to seeing you all in the Fall.  Here are some photos and cards I made for the Jen and Lisa.

 How cute of these little ones.  I would love to name them all but I am afraid I would mess up the spelling so I won't try.  My daughter is all the way right.

 I am hoping to make this photo black and white and crop it a little for my scrapbook.  I will probably call the page "The girls in Waiting" or something along those lines.

 I made this card using the Wall Decor Cricut cartridge and Sizzix Stars.  I have so much tulle so I decided to tape it onto a piece of black cardstock to have as the background. I added some bling and the card was done.    For the second card I used my stars roller and the same cricut cartridge.  I inked with Bermuda Bay and black memento.  Again I used the Sizzix Stars and bling it.  For an hour of work, I love how both cards came out.  Quick and easy.







Once again, thank you Star Struck!!!
