Karrie's post from yesterday inspired me for today's post. I know it is two days in a row that another blogger has prompted me and I apologize for lack of creativity on my part. Sorry, I suck.
Today I will post some pictures of cakes I have made. This year Davis will be getting a Lightning McQueen cake. And yes I will decorate it like it is in the picture. Or attempt too.
Here are some past creations.
Davis' first birthday was a soccer theme. This was a sheet cake for everyone.
This was his very own soccer ball cake.
Davis' second birthday was a football theme. Complete with helmet "D" sugar cookies.
You will have to excuse me, Emma's pictures were taken before we had a digital camera. My scanner is also not working. So these are pictures of pictures. It was the best I could do. Sorry, I suck.
Emma's second birthday was Minnie Mouse.
Emma's third birthday was Blue's Clues.
Emma's fourth birthday was Nemo.
Yes, I made all of those cakes. I am the owner of a few different cake pans. Though, you use the football cake pan for Nemo, so it got used twice. The sheet cake pan and the soccer ball cake are normal pans. I only have Blue and Mickey. Soon, I will add more.
I realize Emma has a few birthdays missing. Her first birthday we did cupcakes only. Her fifth birthday I can not find any pictures of a cake. I also can not remember what it was. Her sixth birthday, I hate to say this, I was depressed. I made her a cake and sugar cookies but did not take any photos. It is not my proudest moment as a mother. I will make up for it this year. She wants Hello Kitty and lucky for me they do not make a cake pan. Looks like I will be trying to carve a Hello Kitty head.
As you can see, much like my obsession with the sugar cookies, the icing addiction started long ago. It takes a lot of those little stars to fill a cake....

His first birthday I made cakes, and tried these jello-yogurt molds, but I don't know what I did to make them so totally disgusting. Not trying that again.
Have you taken classes, or did you learn it on your own? I have no creativity in anything. I think that's why I want more babies - it's the only thing I can create!
Funny thing is my dad has this talent as well. When I was little he did a Mickey cake for me (I think it may have even been my second birthday as well??) and a Holly Hobbie cake too. So it must be in my genes.
The more I decorate things, the more I learn and hone my skill so to speak.
And Judy, I am fairly creative, and I want more babies too. (SHHH, don't tell anyone.) So you will have to find a better reason. LOL.
I loved Holly Hobbie when I was little. :)
Today we are heading out to find Davis' birthday gear. Hopefully we find some good deals and some cool stuff!
Jessi-
Thank you for the sweet and nice comment! It makes me feel good to be able to do it. I *hope* it is creating some warm and fuzzy memories for my kiddos.
