Cakeasaurus

My current cake project is my son's "ferocious fifth" birthday cake. Having declared he will be celebrating with dinosaurs this year, I set about designing a dinosaur cake for him.

In March I did a test run on the dinosaur idea when I did a cake for a dinosaur themed baby shower. I settled on the idea of a 12" round with said dinosaur sitting on top and molded a dino from rice krispies and covered her in fondant. Having been fairly pleased with the results, I plan to do a more elaborate dino for my son's cake next week. Stay tuned for the results.

It Runs in the Family

One of the things I remember well from my childhood are the cakes my mother made for my brother and me each year on our birthday. She swears they were nothing special, but in my eyes, they were fantastic. I can still remember the Twinkle Star cake for my fifth birthday and the ballet dancer cake during grade school.

As I got older and became a mother myself, one of the traditions I chose to carry on was that of making cakes for my children each year. Though I work full time and lead a hectic life, I've made time each year to make a special cake for my child's special day. And as time went on, I started adding in baby shower cakes, bridal shower cakes, anniversary cakes, cakes cakes and MORE cakes! Before long my tradition had gone from hobby to small business.

And with that, here I am. Blog, business cards, flavor and pricing guides... all that jazz. It seems I am in business...AGAIN. Or at least my cakes are.
