Stars, Stripes, crowns.......and Elmo?

 Yep you read it right!  The past couple of weeks were CRAZY with cakes!!  I........volunteered to make the dessert for my husbands family b-day celebration for the month of July.  Doesn't seem so crazy right?  well there are EIGHT b-days in July for them!!  Yep eight!  so I got the awesome notion to ask each one what their fav kind of cake was and I would make it for them!  It turned out so cute but was a lot of work!  But thats what I do and I LOVE it!

Don't really know why this one turned on its side after I took it! :p

The next cake I made was actually quite the pain in the butt!  It was so cute but I went through a lot of product to get it made!  If something could go wrong with this cake it did!  When all was said and done I ( and I know I say this with every cake)  think this was my favorite one to do.  it just turned out so cute!

This next cake was done for my good friend from high school Chris's son who turned 3 on Sunday!  Chris did me a HUGE favor and fixed my computer and saved me a TON of money so I did him a favor and created a masterpiece for his son!!  He loves Elmo and sports!  you can kinda see it but there is a little white "Y"  on the football in front because he loves BYU!  again my newest favorite cake!  where Madi's was the most difficult, this cake was.......well cake to put together!!

Oh my gosh! I can't believe I forgot! Roller Coasters!!

About a week after my b-day I made a cake for my aunt who LOVES roller coasters!!  Well that's an understatement  I think she would live at Lagoon if she could!!  So I was asked to make a roller coaster cake for her 45th b-day!!  This one took a while to figure out how I was going to do it, but once it was done it turned out to be stupendous!

Nope not a coffee cake, but a Coffin cake!

 Coffin cakes are all the rage and taking the place of the coffee cake!!...................Ok well not really but that was the theme of my last cake done for a friend of my cousins!  He turned 40 and apparently that's close to being dead!!  Yep he is now over the hill!!  Although.......if turning 40 is being close to dead then I am in trouble!!  No I am not 40 yet but I did just turn 32 so I really only have a few good years left!!  Yea right!! I will be going until they stop me!!  This was a really fun cake to do and I think pretty darn cool looking too!! 

See the cool wood grain I did on the fondant?!
