Milestone Cake

In my last post, I had alluded to posting milestone cakes as they become available and here you go.

This was my good-bye cake from good friend MBM. The cake was amazing. It was a chocolate cake with a strawberry buttercream icing. Can you even believe that? Me either...but I would love to recreate it. THANKS MBM!!!

I'm Back....

Okay sweet tarts, here are the finale cakes from Wilton Class Three. My classmates are truly talented, aren't they? But we couldn't have done it without the wonderful LS...our beautiful cake guru.

I sure will miss my Wednesday night class and classmates!

You Love Me...You Really Do Love Me

My darling gumdrops, you've all been too kind. Thank you all for being so supportive in my suga romp and being so vocal about my cake. I'm still beaming with pride. Now with that said, I have some disappointing news to report...I, your Sweet Honey Child, will be retiring from the life of sugar arts. While I'm a huge fan of fondant and the like, I just can't carry on with the stress and the drama I must incur to create beauty. Stress is just absolutely horrific on the skin, I already have a facial set up next month to cleanse myself of the drama.

I mean seriously my gumdrops did you really think we could continue on like this? I wish that we could, but there are other facets of my life I must concentrate on. Like getting on my husband's nerves daily - reminding him how much I HATE where we live and how a southern climate would be so much more complimentary to the lifestyle I intend to lead (and his sex life -if he wants to continue to have one). You know tapdancing on my husband's nerves does take a great deal of energy and providing daily diatribes on how we must relocate takes a great deal of research.

I'm also an aspiring novelist, and my literary pursuits were sidelined all in the name of cake. So you see, I had devoted my entire life to sweetness and that just can't be. But don't be too glum, I do plan on preparing milestone cakes for my friends and family from time to time but not much else.

So my dears, we've come to the end of the road...still i can't let go...I have too. It's hard, but it's best to go out on top like the woman I aspire to be SJP.

Think of me fondly whenever you see Dirk dominating the court or when the number 8 car grabs the checkered flag...

Yours in fondant and suga-

Your Sweet Honey Child

SUCCESS IS SWEET!

Well my cocoa puffs, the shower cake was a SUCCESS. And I'm proud to say that I outdid myself I really did. I'm posting pictures for your viewing pleasure. Sorry I have no witty commentary, it's just that I'm speechless...truly I am. And yes, it does taste as good as it looks!

Sweet Kisses my dears!


Best of luck to my niece, Maddy due to arrive July 17th, 2006.

Surf City USA here I come...

Yes, I know Bethany Beach, DE is far from being Surf City USA but I can dream right?

Good Day my peanut butter cups!

That's right, you're favorite honey pie is heading to the beach. Okay, I'm sure you're wondering why on earth is she leaving her cake decorating duties to head to the beach, I thought the baby shower was this weekend. Well my dears, the shower is this weekend and it's near the beach. This is what you call multi-tasking, if you weren't already aware.

So weather permitting, I'll have a little fun in the sun before I put my name and skills on the line. There will be no more posts until Monday, that is as long as the Nascar traffic cooperates and allows me to head back north...so wish me well! I'll provide plenty of pictures then!

Gentlemen, start your engines....this I promise you will be a bumpy (and comedic) ride.

Go, Junior! See, I told you I was a redneck!
