80's Cake

This cake was for my best friend's birthday party. Terri had the party with her friend Jenny and everyone brought their A-game in 80's costumes...it was like totally awesome! Kristin came over to help me with this cake, and she brought it to the next level! A huge thanks to her and having so much fun!!!



I wasn't sure if I could do splatter paint, but oh did I figure it out! Kristin was a huge encourager because I was very scared to ruin the cake.





This is the dress I so wanted to wear but couldn't find anywhere. Thankfully my stylist/co-worker Katy helped guide me to a perfect and authentic outfit.










Of course, Kristin did this guitar, and I was beyond impressed....isn't she extremely talented?


And here I am in all of my 80's glory -


Me with Josh (aka Miami Vice)


Terri and I totally rocking the 80's...we were made for big tacky hair!!!! Please note the lime green fish nets and straight from 1986 purple pumps!

Baby Shower

Another cake compliments of Shane...his wife hosted a baby shower and ordered this cake. The design was taken from swatches for the nursery and a very cute painting that one of the hostess painted. I love how cute the animals are!

Girly Bowling Birthday

This cake was for Alainah who had a bowling party. I made the mermaid cake for her cousin, so she wanted a cake with her bowling and it to be very girly. Being that Aerial was my first 3-D figure, I wasn't sure exactly how to go about making a girl bowling. I tried to make her in the bowling stance, but it turned out more like a "ta-da" stance. Either way, it is girly!





Melanie's Birthday

Shane asked me to make a simple birthday cake for his wife, Melanie. He didn't give a design or color, so I made a cake that I liked!

Part of your world

I LOVE The Little Mermaid and was so excited when I got this order. I wish I could have added more details for under the sea, but I'm sure everyone was thankful I didn't...I know I'm MS gaudy sometimes! This was my first time to make 3-D characters and a person. I definitely struggled, but love how it turned out. Thanks to Shane for making Ariel's head!





I love how her tail turned out! And, I like how the "wind blown" hair worked. Of course I wanted lots of big hair, but it started to tear from the weight!




A few dancing fish from "Under the Sea".



And the tuba fish...another favorite from "Under the Sea". Please note the pink flower on the corner with petals floating...recognize it? Yes, that is the flower Sebastian gave Ariel during the "Under the Sea" song and at the end she pulled the petals and did the he loves me/he loves me not!


Can you find the dinglehopper? "Humans use this baby to straighten their hair out"...if only it were that easy! I really loved how the water turned out...so much fun being messy!



Don't forget the Snarfblat that "plays wonderful music in pre-historic times when people used to sit around and stare at each other...very boring." All these Scuttle quotes makes me wonder why I didn't think to put him on the rock too?! Maybe next time :)
