Going back a little here

....and thought I'd show you some of my cakes. This first one is an all 'chocolate' cake....with roses and lilies in between each layer. (There's over 80 flowers on this little cake!)

The next 2 pictures are of what will one day be a cake shop. That's scrapbook paper in the back ground...I propped 2 pieces of it up, strictly for a photo. Now that I think about it, I hope I was smart and put it some where safe....I'll need it one day! I made the shelf, and the 3 tables are wooden jewelry boxes I found at Michael's. I've been looking in the HBS catalog and trying to decide what house will work best. I need a small 2 story house for this....Any ideas as to what house will work? The downstairs is going to house all the cakes, and an area for customers to sit and do taste testing. The upstairs will be a kitchen, an old fashioned kitchen, I think.....a black and white checker-board floor with pastel appliances. Poor cakes.......they're packed away for another day. I think with Valentine's just passing, and seeing all the great candies and cakes that everyone is making, that I'm getting the cake 'bug' again.......maybe....or maybe I'm just thinking...........................First I Must Finish Everything Else I've Started!! Hahaha....well, technically, this is something I've started......But I was talking about the 3 houses that are begging to be finished. OK...I'm rambling on now.....off to finish painting the cap from a bottle of mouth wash gold. It's going to be a laundry hamper when I get done!

Until next time....

A pink one...

All it takes is one good cake show on HGTV and my muse is back. I was watching a surprise engagement cake contest and there was a pink and black cake that I fell in love with. Well, I fell in love with the colors to be exact.........I figured if I made 2, I could keep one and sell the other......but nothing ever works out the way I plan it.....so this is what happened.

The first cake ended up with too many balls..... Then when I made the little balls for the second cake, I started having issues with my toaster oven. The 2nd set, I made both pink and black balls to cook at the same time, and the pink came out just as black as the black.....then I made a bunch of just pink~ and those came out black!?! The third set decided it wanted to cooperate.....and I was finally able to cook pink balls that came out pink! I do like this cake much better than the first one......but this one too can be improved.

Well, back to the couch.....let's see what I can come up with today!

The cakes...

Here are some of the cakes from The Cake House. This first one, is one of the bigger cakes......hopefully the picture helps you understand how little they are. All cakes are made out of polymer clay, and NO, you can NOT eat them!!
This is the first cake I made. This cake might be for a spring wedding?

A Valentine's cake.
The Wedding Dress Cake

My Favorite.....
The cake with the 'silk' flowing down the side.
... and The Red Rose Cake.

The Cake House

WELCOME TO THE CAKE HOUSE!

All cakes are made out of polymer clay. Their stands and the furniture are made out of wood. I custom painted all the furniture and the floor to match the scrapbook paper I have used as wallpaper.

This bookcase is my favorite. I made it out of bosawood, and was so very proud of myself when it didn't collapse! I must remember to thank my best friend's Mom for teaching me how to build with it so very long ago. There are cookies on the shelfs; chocolate chip, sugar cookies, and even a few cookies with someone's initals embedded into them. In the picture above, there is a 'wedding dress' cake.
