Easter Goodies

Spring is such a beautiful time of the year... the rain comes in and washes away all the winter sludge, and with it comes new growth and warmer weather. I always find Spring to be so encouraging - I want to get outside and play with the kids, I want to plant flowers and vegetables (but my thumb is as black as they come... I'm jealous of some of my very green-thumbed family members), I even enjoy the rough spring thunderstorms! And with spring, comes Easter. A time to give thanks and celebrate the risen Lord. And eat jellybeans... lots of jellybeans....

And some cake pops....

And some cookies...

Bunnies can be personalized.....

Or not...

They can also just be heads - which part do you eat first...?

I can put 'em in a basket for you...

 Oh, look - Easter eggs on a stick!

And of course, Heart Crosses. Because, "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life." John 3:16

Happy Easter, y'all!

Golly, I love this sweet life!!

To Boldly Go...

My husband and I are intense Star Trek fans. I mean, intense. So, when I had the opportunity a few years ago to make a Star Trek themed graduation cake for a friend, I jumped at the request! Here's what I came up with... Becca is a self-proclaimed future Starfleet Engineer, so I gave her a Next Generation era Engineer's uniform and communicator badge, a science tricorder, a fondant hand phaser, and her very own shuttlecraft.

The Becca-2011 Runabout cake looks like it may be ready to dock...

Live Long, and Prosper... And order more Star Trek cakes, I want to make another one!! ;-)

Golly I love my sweet life!! (...and Star Trek.)

My first alive thing cake

I've always said I won't make a cake of something that is alive, you know - like a baby cake, or a dog cake, or a squirrel cake... the idea of cutting into it and eating it freaks me out, ya know...? But when I got the request for a Horse cake, something about it intrigued me, so I gave it a shot.

Saffeen, for Kerri.

Just please don't make any Godfather jokes....

Golly I love my sweet life!!

Decorationmakingness

Hi, My name is EJ and I am a procrastinator. No, really... it's bad. Here's a quick, easy, and cheap decoration idea....

Spider Web Rug (or table runner)...

Cut some felt.

Draw with chalk.

Draw more with chalk.

Draw a bunch with chalk.

That's a lot of chalk drawing.

Pull out your paint and stuff.

Paint over the chalk.

Paint over more chalk.

That's a lot of chalk painting.

Cut the ends. 

All of em. On both short sides.

And double knot pairs of strips together.

Find some sticky floor mat stuff.

Put it on the floor.

Put the rug on the sticky stuff.

Kinda cool, huh?

I love this sweet life... =)

Minecraft. A ten year old boy's dream cake.

I have always enjoyed building. When I was small, I loved building with colored wooden blocks, lincoln logs,  legos... as I got older, I even learned some carpentry and built my very own piece of furniture. I still enjoy sitting around on the floor with a big bucket of lego duplos and a few preschoolers, or sitting at the table with my kids and a lego building kit. I build teams of people, I build relationships, I even build in my bakery, stacking tier upon tier of cake. I've done all sorts of building, but nothing like the work of some of these ten-year-old boys who build in the virtual world of Minecraft. Pixel-by-pixel, block-by-block, these kids (and sometimes kids at heart...) build amazing worlds. If you're not familiar with Minecraft, check this out and prepare to be amazed... http://www.geekosystem.com/21-amazing-minecraft-creations/

Then, check out these birthday cakes I've made for some pretty cool ten-year-old (give or take...) boys.

A close-up of Ryan's personal house cake. I hope that zombie in the corner doesn't get Ryan's sheep.

At night, the monsters come out... A giant spider on top of the house, and a Creeper trying to get to land. Mr. Creeper doesn't look very happy.

Here's Steve. For Nick. Steve has the very desirable blue diamond pick-axe... it makes mining much easier. Or so I hear...

I love to build, but never could have guessed that I'd be building cakes out of pixels.... every day is something new....!

I sure do love this sweet life.
