Springtime cakes and Teacher gifts

Jacob's birthday cake. I used the freezer paper tracing and transfer method from my pinterest board.
Blue and Gold ceremony.
Teacher Valentine gifts from Jettie and Jacob. I normally use packing tape to attach the candy bars to the dowels but tried hot glue this time. It didn't hold, so I'll be going back to using packing tape.

Hollywood Birthday Party

Here's a few pics of the Hollywood party. The chandalier (sp?) looked awesome but I could not get a great shot of it. I think it counts for crafty b/c I made the cake, the fruit sculpture (the white things are half dipped chocolate covered marshmallows), and the HOLLYWOOD letters, plus it's almost scrapbooking b/c I did the little photos in the film strip we got at M's. Ha! :)

And yet another post!

Yep, can you believe it? Two posts in one day from the invisible half of x2. So here are the reindeer cupcakes, which btw, are tricky to fit on the cupcake rack b/c of the antlers sticking out.

I made the antlers by melting chocolate chips in a zip loc bag, cutting off a corner, and tracing over a pattern I made onto wax paper with the chocolate. I keep my chocolate chips in the fridge, so they turned that weird hazy brown, so next time I will make sure I use chocolate that does not live in the fridge so it stays brown. Nobody cared and they tasted yum. I just said the antlers were in velvet.

Brace yourself!

Rough draft of helmet cake. I literally threw on the fondant, but it does have promise. Might actually make it one day with some actual effort. Molding the cake in the plastic hat did work, so that was good to know. Never did get red fondant, though it actually looks redder here than in real life.

My fire cake! So proud. :) The flames have the shimmery Wilton gel on them that I put on with a paint brush. IRL it is mildly sparkly.

At the party. I had to support the metal fire truck (which is a "Code 3 collectible. Be careful with it b/c the mirrors will break off," blah, blah, blah) with dowels underneath, but the stupid plastic drive shaft made it sit crooked on the dowel. Now, why does it need a fake drive shaft? Who knows.

H'ween Cupcakes

Going backwards a little bit, but here are my Halloween cupcakes. Really want someone to make a jumbo grass tip, though!
