Done gone crazy

That's right. I made one and was bedazzled by it. We thought my mother-in-law would like one - she did! Then, just because I wanted to try another one with a particular color scheme and tinsel (and glitter was everywhere anyway) I made a third. I am seriously thinking about making a St. Patrick's Day one. But perhaps I can just bide my time on ebay, ordering up vintage ornaments during the off season, until I feel like it's an appropriate time to start holiday crafting and watching Elf again. We call that November.

Baby Shower

I spent a long time thinking about what would be appropriate, what people might like and how I would decorate these cakes for my friend's baby shower. I even did single layer cakes a month earlier in each flavor just as practice! The final cakes were triple layer (because I wanted to make triple layer cakes for some reason, though just two would have been plenty). In the end, they turned out just perfect...

Chocolate Cake with Salted Caramel Buttercream frosting on the left.
Classic White Cake with a hint of Almond, accompanied by Vanilla Frosting and sprinkles on the right. Can you guess what she's having?

I also made a decorative garland of pennant flags that I had so much fun doing! Apparently I felt the need to get my craft on.
