Michael Buble ;)

 This was a very last-minute surprise for a friend of our family who dearly loves Michael Buble. :) Her daughter (who's also my friend) challenged me with the idea of painting his picture on the cake somehow...:) So, I took a piece of white fondant, rolled it out, cut it in a circle, and painted it with a fine brush and food coloring. It was definitely a challenge! I did enjoy it though, and think it didn't turn out too shabby...your thoughts?


I piped some of the lyrics to his song "Everything" around the sides, and added some red icing hearts. :)
Listening to his music was excellent inspiration as I worked on this project, I might add...<3 ;)

Better Pics of the Motorcycle








Toy Story

 The top pic shows the true colors better, but the pic below gives you an idea of the size and shows the chocolate cow patches I put on the sides. Bullseye, Woody, and Jessie were cut-out fondant pieces which I painted on to give a slight 3-D effect - kind of like a flannel graph. :) Takes me back to Sunday school, years and years ago...;)

Victory Run for the Son :)





The story of a cake...the evolution of a motorcycle
I made this cake for a benefit concert our church hosted for CMA - the Christian Motorcyclists Association. My model was a beautiful Victory bike owned by friends of ours who are members of a local CMA group.
This cake was a challenge, but I LOVED building it - start to finish.
I really enjoy the process - I hope you enjoy watching! :)
