The Sweet Life



The Sweet Life

This site is dedicated to my super supportive honey, friends and family who, like my addiction for sugar, have been constants in my ever-changing and crazy adventures. They are a simple reminder of how blessed and how sweet my life truly is!

Tinker Bell - Happy Birthday to me!

For my 33rd birthday, I decided to make myself my very first Barbie cake.  What a disaster!  Barbie just looked like she was drowning in cake.  My second Barbie cake, which I made on my 36th birthday, was much more successful.  I've decided to make it a tradition to create a doll cake for every one of my birthdays from now on and hope that I see progress :).  For my 37th birthday, I designed this Tinkerbell doll cake.  Her dress was inspired by a rainbow skirt that Carrie Bradshaw (Sex and The City) wore that I totally just fell in love with.  The cake is red velvet with cream cheese frosting, of course, covered with fondant/gum paste petals/leaves.
