the Umizoomis

Every so often I write about a cake I have the pleasure in creating. I have actually been pretty busy lately. Averaging about 2 orders a weekend. Which is nice, because it gives me some extra monies...

There are types of cakes I enjoy creating for the most part... new and original stuff. Not the ordinary, Sesame Street or Mickey Mouse birthday cakes. And as you all know I have been blessed with two little boys, who melt my heart on a daily if not hourly basis. With that said, because I am the mommy of two little boys I do not have the opportunity to do girly things. I basically have birthday and bedroom ideas for little girls just waiting to be pried from my brain... but nada as of yet. So when I have the opportunity to make a little girl's birthday cake I get pretty excited. Just recently I had the pleasure of working a lady bug cake for a client... it was just too cute. With cookies to match of course!

This other was made for a bridal shower, isn't it just the hottest? The theme for the bridal shower was Sex and the City. I loved everything about this cake, the colors and items they asked to have me incorporate within the cake. The finishing touch, which I do not have pictured because it was added at the location was a martini glass. I can only imagine how sexy the cake looked with that finishing touch.

This one is was pretty simple and actually really small. It was used for a smash the cake photo session. I am looking forward to having the client forward me the pictures so I can see if the colors were bright enough to give the effect she wanted.

Last but not lease, my other favorite kind of cake is the kind that my little one enjoys. When I made the Yo Gabba Gabba cake Omi was jumping all around the house singing. So you can only imagine how elated he was when he woke up to see this Team Umizoomi cake sitting on the kitchen counter. He LOVES bot, the little green robot in the middle. He got so excited- I love watching him get so giddy.

These upcoming weeks I have quite a few new and exciting orders that I hope to post pictures of once the end of the month hits. I have a baby shower, a baptism, wedding and the boys Halloween party! Out of all the above, I am most excited about the Halloween party! I have so many goodies that I want to make, from baked goods to actual party foods. Oh my goodness... too excited!

On that Halloween tip, here are the boys in their costumes. I went ahead and dressed Aiden as pumpkin for his solo pictures... because I am a firm believer in them both being treated the same and not having the oldest be the "golden child" with the oodles of studio pictures and the rest having a wallet size portrait. To avoid falling into the statistic, I had Aiden dress as a pumpkin in one session and than having them do a joint session.... Take a gander at the hottest little Buzz Lightyear EVER joined with the most precious little toy martian. Doesn't that pumpkin make you want to have a slice of pumpkin pie!
