The flying suitcase

When you love your children, running, airplanes and work in the travel industri and you turn 30, then you need a cake that can tell that story. And when the birthday girl is very special to the coworkers, well then you provide just that!

Zoo cake

A very special little girl turned 7 and she adores animals. She wants to work at the Zoo when she grows up, so this design was a no brainer ;o) She is especially fond of tigers that clearly are NOT my forte, but I am pleased with the overall result!





Glitter princess

This cake took hours and hours to make - gold seems to be my Achilles' heel. I just can't seem to buy a product that lives up to my expectations - I would love some input if you have any ideas. First I purchased some gold dust which I turned into paint with alcohol. It looked fine until it dried and then it just looked bland and boring. So off to the store again, where I got gold glitter that would make the 80's blush ;o). But that glitter went EVERYWHERE, but did do a better job of making the cake shine with gold. So the end-result was, hopefully, a sparkly princess for a special little girl.
