Western Themed Wedding Cake

I made some cakes for a very casual western themed wedding. So, I just thought I would share my creations. On both cakes I made the fondant and buttercream icing from scratch. The cake is from a mix.

This first cake is a small layer that I made for them to have for their anniversary cake. The roses are the first ones I have made with fondant, and this was my first wedding cake as well.

The second cake was a two layer cake with roses and a rope W as a topper.

I am so glad that the bride and groom liked their cakes, and I hope they have many years of happiness together.

Pulling Into The Station - GHI Stop

I haven't done a Pulling Into the Station post since the beginning of this month so I thought you were due one.

I last droped off the alphabet stops at F so I am going to pick up right where I left off. Let's head towards G.

This first stop will leave you graving treats...glorious ones. Please visit Glorious Treats.

Just look at these yummy pina coloda cupcakes that she has made.

On the second stop, you will be seeing orange. Please visit How About Orange.

Take a look at this cute wall art made from paint chip samples.

This brings us to our last stop. You will be roaring for more after this stop. Please visit I am Momma, Hear me Roar.

Look how easy it is to add some fun to an old jacket.

Hope you enjoyed these stops on the alphabet. We will get back to more soon.

New Name Shirt

Just wanted to add my latest name shirt. This one is purple and white. If you would like to make one of your own go here to my previous post where I created my first shirt.

4th of July Fun

For 4th of July, I usually like to get us all patriotic shirts to wear. This year I decided to design my own.

I got a tulip tie dye kit, and made red, white and blue tie dyed shirts for all of us.

I found my kit at Wal-Mart, but I am sure you could probably find it at craft stores as well.

Just follow the directions in the kit, and your shirts will turn out great. There are several other pattern options in the direction sheet besides the two I choice to try.

I also baked a flag cake. I got the idea from I Am Baker.

Here is her flag cake:

and here is mine:

Hope everyone had a great 4th.

Pulling Into The Station - Sewing Stop

It's been a while since I have had any stops, and I am sorry for that. Just haven't felt like searching for stops for a while.

This first stop makes you want to craft after hours. Please stop by Crafterhours.

Just take a look at this cute skirt she did recently.

This next stop is very prudent. Please stop by Prudent Baby.

This Bag she made last year is so cute. It would be a great project for this summer as well.

Our last spot is a place where you just gotta stop and sew. Please stop by Stop Staring and Start Sewing.

Look at this cute camera strap. It even has a pocket for extra memory.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you're having a great summer.

Cake Shop

I have made my kids birthday cakes for some time now.

I would like to get into making cakes for a little side money.

Here are a few that I have done in the past. I can either make the cake to go along with an invitation you already have, or I can help you come up with a theme based on what the birthday girl/boy likes.

If you are interested in a cake just let me know.

Best Pops

For Father's Day I decided I wanted to do something cheap but creative. I had seen several soda pop label variations on line, and thought they were cute.

I downloaded the labels from Delightfully Noted for her soda bottles, but I didn't buy orange soda so I didn't use her exact label.

I changed mine up a little bit by changing the colors to match my sodas, and changing the stars because I couldn't find an image of the same star.

Here are my labels for both IBC Root Beer and IBC Cream Soda.

Hope you had a great Father's Day. This idea would still be great for a Birthday present.
