A Plethora of Cakes

This week has been exhausting. And has not provided ample time for posting. Actually, the only things I have had time for has been school and work...what a glamorous life I lead! But I do have some great cakes to share. There are quite a few pictures so I will keep the words to a minimum. Cake Decorating I ended a couple weeks ago with a two-tiered wedding cake practical; Cake Decorating II commenced last week with more fun character cakes - football helmets, sports balls & dinosaurs. We have a lot more freedom to create all types of fun cakes and I have so many fun ideas! But until then, here is a look at my most recent work.

I like to think this is why Texas is still ranked #1

Is this the number of a Heisman winner?

If you know my family, then this cake needs no explanation...

"FORE!"

One of my new favorites...I even gave her a name!

"Lola" the Princess Dinosaur

So much to say, so little time

I totally owe the blog a post. And I have plenty to blog about: three cakes, doughnuts and corn muffins. I just don't have a free second at the moment. Although I did find the time to hit up the Greek Food Festival this weekend at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church. The festival has been going on for years (like close to fifty) and the last time I went I think it was part of a high school field trip so I was looking forward to attending for the first time in 10 years. I had a delicious Gyro and some great Greek desserts - including baklava, a total necessity if attending a Greek food festival. There was not much baking happening in my kitchen this weekend. Just some cookies (peanut butter and chocolate chip), but nothing too special. I promise a way better post with pictures will come along soon...maybe Wednesday morning. But don't hold your breath...
