Not much is going on here. This is my week of vacation before summer school starts next week. I've been cleaning, playing, and planning parties. I wanted to make the birthday cake(s) for Claudia's birthday. She wants one of those Barbi doll cakes with the cake skirt. I searched and searched the Internet and never did find one that I liked so I decided to combine several ideas along with my own. On Tuesday I made the little flowers for her dress - 1232 little flowers to be exact. I'll show you pictures later when I go to finish the cake. I've decided that cake decoration is my new found hobby. I love to find cakes on the Internet and try to recreate them. That is how I got Lydia's cake last year. Here is a picture of it...
All of the little shapes are cut out of fondant. I can't stand the taste of the stuff, but It makes really good decorations for cakes.
This was Lydia's little personal cake.
I also make Gail's birthday cake this year. Normally I just bake a basic cake and don't put much thought into it.
Chocolate cake mix.
Pure white frosting.
Covered in colored sprinkles. It was yummy!!
My next post will be Claudia's cake - if it turns out. Until next time...

I'm amazed at your cakes for Lydia. They look professional. I wish I could do that. Any interest in making a Carnival themed cake for Levi's birthday.
great job! i can't wait to see the pictures of this years cake. i think you need to make a pink dice cake for bunco sometime:)
Corin - Check this cake out (http://www.coolest-birthday-cakes.com/coolest-circus-tent-birthday-cake.html) it doesn't look that hard. Bree - I totally planned on making that for my day in June. It is going to be cute.
my little sister, Lauren, did a Barbie cake for Emma a couple years ago--where the cake is the dress & the whole deal. let me know if you get stuck--I can't help you but she can!
