What scares me more than anything about Halloween? Well, the thought of walking into a haunted house. I’ll admit, I’m a big chicken when it comes to that kind of thing, but that doesn’t mean I can’t still be fascinated by it. 🙂 For months, the thought of a haunted house cake was in my headRead More
This cake was for a 65 year old retiree who travels the world…literally. Ah, to be there someday, right?

A close friend arranged a girls’ get together, so of course I had to make a special cake for it. She left me with no choice…or, at least that’s the story and I’m stickin’ to it. Here’s the cake, before iced. The breasts are made out of rice krispie treats for added effect of theRead More
My brother turned 40, so my sister-in-law and I threw a party for him. She didn’t want the typical “morbid” theme for being over the hill, and she wanted to incorporate smiley faces in with the theme.
