Happy Birthday Uncle T!!

So I know it has been a while since I last posted something, but my camera was at the doctor having surgery. It has made a full recovery and is now ready to upload away!! This is a cake I made for my brothers birthday a while back. He has a guitar that looks exactly like this right down to the white symbol on the dark brown part. I snuck a pic on my hubby's fabulous I-phone one day when he was at the house playing and used it as a reference. It is difficult to see in this picture but my special little touch for him was adding his name under the strings where the notes are, like a county music star's guitar would be. He loved this cake and my entire family could not believe how closely it resembled his actual guitar. This was his 20th birthday and his comment at the end of the party was, "I can't wait to see what my 21st birthday cake will look like!" We'll see buddy, we'll see!!

Busy Bee!!

I know it has been a while since I posted something, but I have been a little busy! I had an out of town trip on the weekend after Father's day and then right into a busy 4th. Made some cute cake pops for that and am currently right in the middle of a birthday cake project for my cousin. I will have pics posted of some of this stuff as soon as possible. My camera has been at the doctor. It was sick but will be better soon!! Until then, happy caking!!

Hole in 1!

On Father's Day, we hosted my Father in law, my Brother in law and a few other fathers and their families over at our house for a get together. I didn't want to make a cake specifically for my husband and not anyone else, so I had almost decided not to make one at all. But when I woke up that morning I knew we would be makeing homeade ice cream that day and I just kept thinking that we would need a little cake to! ( If you haven't heard, cake goes with everything!!) Well I had about 2 hours to make a cake before all the guests arrived, so this is the result of a quickly baked and decorated Father's day cake. All of the dads we had over all play golf when they have free time that hasn't been scheduled to the max by their lovely wives, (so you can imagine that is almost never) but none the less they try and make it out for a game together once every couple of months, so I thought since they all played golf, that a golf cake would be cute! My brother in law said I should have just made the whole thing a sand trap since that is where they all spend most of their time, but I have faith in them! The writing is actually small little balls meant to be golf balls as well as the trim around the cake. We ended up having a great day and yesterday when I got home from work, I went to the cake saver, and do you guys know there wasn't one piece left! I guess the cake really was a hole in 1!!

Tiddlywinks:)

So this is a baby shower cake I did this week to go along with a pop order for the same shower. The theme was based on the bedding "Tiddlywinks" from Target, the lady bug set. I used light pastels because the bedding was the same colors. All the reviews on the cake were good, but the hit was the pops, of course. If you haven't tried one out, I wouldn't wait to long. It is the perfect bite size treat for your special event! Email us at doublelayerdesigns@gmail.com.

Something Different***

So talk about a little bite of heaven. These are the infamous cake pops! They have been a big hit for me recently for baby showers. Sometimes, and this is going to shock you and you are going to ask yourself, "How can that be"? , but sometimes people don't like alot of cake! I know, I know shocking right, but every now and then I do run across those people. Well this is a solution, it is a golf ball sized ball of cake on a stick. Tasty doesn't do them justice, and for cake lovers like me this is just the "icing on the cake" so to speak. If you would like a batch for your event, and your local to Mobile or Baldwin County AL, email me and I will be glad to make some for your special day.

I LOVE this Monkey

Well this is the first "Big" cake I attempted. It was for my cousins baby shower. The monkey and frog are made of MM fondant as well as the initials and they are on 3 MM fondant baby blocks which are decorated with buttercream.
