I have a dirty dirty mind! - Not safe for kids

So I've been kind of lax about blogging. It's not even that I've been too busy I've just been.... well......lax.

So on Wednesday I decided to be creative. Out of this came what I am affectionately calling my BDSM Penis cake!



Why yes! Those are fondant leather straps with delicately made fondant studs. And yes those are fondant balls of a penile piercing! Yes that is dyed coconut. Unfortunately it turned out more like old man pubic hair! :(

It's far from perfect, but it's so cute! It created a great conversation starter for my whole day. "What are you doing?" Ohhhh I'm just sitting here eatting cock. It's nice and warm too! "WTF?!?!?!"

So I appologise for the lack of blogging and yummy pictures and hope this post has made up for it just a little!

A day spent in good company....

Ahhhh.

My partner in crime. I do love her. Not only did she show up bright and bushy tailed, ready to work on the two cales that we were doing BUT she brought me Dr Pepper. DR PEPPER! God I love that sugary beverage!

Anyways.....

The cakes were Mickey Mouse (simple) and Upsy Daisy (UGH!). I did the mickey mouse cupcakes the night before. Very cute, very themed. Then we did the mickeymouse cake first, as it was being picked up first. It turned out adorable!

So then with Mickey all seen to, we had to start on Upsy Daisy. ZOMG. Seriously, there are like 7 or 8 different colours on that doll, thing, kid. We used fruit sticks for her hair and belt and backed a total of three chocolate cakes to give us enough to work with. Once she was cut, iced and given a face, I liked her alot better than I did, oh, maybe 5 hours earlier!


So here she is, the adorable Upsy Daisy. I hope both cakes pleased the eaters as much as the orderers.

Cuppycakes!



So here are the lawschool cupcakes as promised! Apples and lady bugs. I also made a tray of flowers and ice creams but I forgot to take a photo. It was 1am so you'll all just have to forgive me!
There were rave reviews and much questioning about how they were done. But in the end, the client was deliriously happy and that's what matters!
This weekend is more cakes and cupcakes thanks to the wonderful order of Mickey Mouse and Upsy Daisy. I'm excited about Mickey, Upsy daoisy however, I believe may give me a nervous break down!
Happy baking!

ACK!

EPIC FAIL!

ZOMG!!!!!!

So....being all concentratey on the cakes that are ordered for Sunday, I managed to majorly mess up the dates for the law school cupcakes. It's tomorrow, not next week.

So it's currently 11:40pm and I'm waiting for the last batch of cupcakes to cool down enough so I can ice them.

All I wanted to do was have a shower and crawl into bed. I had the father in laws funeral today and it was emotionally draining. I can't imagine how my mother in law feels when I feel so wiped and I didn't live with and love the man for the last however many years!

So I'm off to whip up what will HOPEFULLY be my last batch of icing and sprinkle my last lot of cleaning. Then it's DEFFINATELY shower and bed.

I will upload the pictures tomorrow. :)

So this weekend was my friend's birthday. She loves giraffes. I would say she doesn't love them as much as I love penguins, but still, she does have some mad giraffe love.


So sitting back and trying to organise her surprise birthday party all we could think of was "What type of cake?" Soooooooo......


I introduce to you. The vanilla and chocolate marble two tier giraffe themed cake. Buttercream icing and fondant leaves with plastic animals and chocolate giraffe spotting! We teamed this uber cute cake with some uber cute chocolate cupcakes. They are tiny, like the size of a ten cent coin (or a quarter for my american pals). I swear, piping those little babies, I discovered muscles in my hand, wrist and arm that I didn't know I had!


My partner in crime, Kelly, was expertly applying the sprinkles and laughing like a crazy woman at my face. Apparantly I looked constipated I was squeezing so hard. So, me being the equal oppurtunity advocate that I am, handed over the piping bag half way through and donned my best sprinkle! She discovered that that little constipated look I get on my face, has a similar look when worn by her! So nerr!


Next week is going to be a rush. I have a mickey Mouse cake with matching cupcakes and an psy daisy cake on order for the same day. And then after that I'm doing the cupcakes for the law school. I'd tell you what they are but, well, I'm keeping it a guarded secret because they are going to be so freaking adorable your eyes may melt at the pictures! Truely! Let me just say that I have to start dying some sugar and leave it at that.


So my blog reading freinds I leave you with the pictures of the giraffe baked yummies and I will be back to blog soon!
