Eager Anticipation!

Every once in a while I get to make a cake that I'm very excited about. It's usually a cake that has a new idea or something I've never seen before. I started working on one of these cakes a few days ago. I'm really happy with the way it's coming along. Can't wait until I actually get to put it all together. Here are a couple of "sneak peak" pictures:

The flowers drying.

Lots of white chocolate pearl medallions.

Ladybug Ladybug... Fly Away Home!

I promised pictures of my finished bug cake. So here you go...

BUGS!!!

These creepy crawly little critters turned out so cute, that I just had to share. Stay tuned... pictures of the finished cake will be coming soon.

Calla Lilies with Blue

I was asked to make a cake keeping two things in mind.... calla lilies and the color blue. Blue is such a popular color, but I have a hard time with blue cakes. I just haven't seen many blue ones that I thought were completely successful... maybe it's the image of blue teeth after eating the cake that pops in my head!!!

After finishing this cake, I was happy with the end result! The shade of blue is kind of pretty, and calla lilies are always a fun flower to make. I think decorating this cake has changed my mind a bit... maybe blue cakes aren't so bad after all!
