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!

Baby Elmo


This was the first cake I made for someone other than family or friends.  I was so nervous.  I don't think I'll ever get over the nerves I feel when I create a cake for someone I don't know well.

Barbie

I have always loved Barbie dolls.  I received one for almost every birthday and Christmas from my hanna-batta days and I have to admit, even a few as an adult.  So after about 4 or 5 sessions of cake decorating classes, I thought I might have learned enough to create a Barbie themed dessert table.


My bf was the rose expert.  His roses always looked so much better than mine.

Spidey

The biggest cake I made so far - three tiered (10x6x3) with each tier 2 layers thick.   The cake was dark chocolate, iced with vanilla buttercream, covered with fondant and decorated with gumpaste and ribbons.  The webs are made of white chocolate and cutey pie Spidey is made of rice-crispy treats.  Being as inexperienced as I am, I assembled the thing before delivering it.  Boy was it wobbling.  But we made it.
