PACKED

chris and i are headed off to florida today to spend a week with my family on the beach. 

i can't wait to squeeze my nieces and nephew and lay on the beach and jump in the pool and eat a ton of food and be bored.

I MADE A CAKE THAT LOOKS LIKE A PLANT



i thought about making my good friend becky a succulent plant cake last year, but decided on pantone cookies instead. so when her birthday came around this year making this guy was at the top of my list.

i bought a flower pot from a dollar store in the neighborhood, filled it with dirt cake, and topped it off with little plants i sculpted out of fondant. i used food coloring like watercolors to paint on the gradient/realistic look.

pretty excited about how this turned out. 
can someone please hire me to do this full time?

ANDREA'S BIRTHDAY GARDEN

so i'm running behind on posts here, but trying to catch up!

andrea - my gemini partner in crime - had a birthday a couple weeks ago and i made her a garden cake since she loves her brooklyn backyard garden.



i used oreos for the dirt, coconut for the grass and made the veggies out of fondant

this isn't her first crazy cake - check out the guitar cake i made her a couple years ago
