Switzerland/USA Cake

There was a Swiss student attending our church for a while. I made this cake for his last Sunday before returning home.

Grandpap's 80th

Tim's grandfather shares a birthday with my twins. It's always fun to be at his birthday parties. My sister-in-law Laura and I made him this patriotic cake this year.

Little Mermaid & Hockeyey

My twins turned five today. Here's their birthday cakes.

Joey loves hockey, specifically the Pittsburgh Penguins. I put 11 on the sleeves in honor of his favorite player, Jordan Staal. The rest of the players' numbers are on the edge of the cake.

Bekah wanted a Little Mermaid cake, but I didn't want to do the dress like I did last year, so this is what resulted.

Erika - 1

My little girl loves Eat N' Park cookies.

She was the picture-perfect first birthday party cake eater. :-)

Batman Cow Cake

My youngest boy just turned 3. For years he has loved all things cow. I was all geared up for a fantastic cow cake, but the week before his party he started arguing that he needed a Batman cake. I wasn't willing to completely abandon the cow theme, so I merged themes. Introducing probably the first and only Batman cow cake.

I think he liked it. :-)

Lord Stanley of Cake

I made this cake for Tim's 30th birthday party. My husband is the organist for the Pittsburgh Penguins, who just happened to win the Stanley Cup in June.

It's 8-layers stacked on top of an upside-down tube pan (to add height). There's also a large dowel rod in the middle to keep it upright.
