Hunter's cake

I had been looking forward to making this cake for months!
Tasha asked me to do Hunter's cake a while ago,
I was hesitant to do it because it looked difficult.
I had fun doing it... I got a lot of practice smoothing icing.
Hunter totally loved it (he ate the head!)

Susan's cake

One of the moms in my mom's group asked me to
make a cake for her daughter's 6th birthday Susan....
I'm certainly getting practice with my piping... :)

AiWan's baby shower...

Last weekend, I helped my coworker, Janet, throw a baby shower
for her "adopted" daughter, AiWan...
We came up with a lime/yellow theme.
We didn't want frilly or girly, so we used polka dots w/touches of pink
for a more mod contemporary look.
limes and lemons as decorations...
(and lemonade for later!)
The cake
I took the pictures at the party, with Janet's fancy schmancy camera...
the "auto" focus wasn't automatically focusing... or maybe its user error...
that's why its blurry. (sorry)
Green and Yellow M&Ms as favors...
And of course my poms...
I tried to do a mishmash look w/the lanterns
using this as my inspiration....
I think it needs more poms...

table with games and favorswith game "packets" for individual guests
(envelopes for thank you cards, baby bingo, word scramble, baby lotto)
Janet cut foamcore boards instead of buying clipboards,
used a paper clip, with a ribbon, "voila!"

I love baby showers....
as long as I'm not the ones playing the games or opening the presents.
