What a joy it is to celebrate every new little one that comes our way. After trying my hand at the sleeping baby cake a couple times, my imagination went wild with ideas of how to take it to the next step. As my good friend Cheryl's baby shower was approaching, the Peapod theme seemed like a sweet way to celebrate this little boy who has yet to be seen by all of us. For two weeks as we planned this, everytime I closed my eyes I was constructing it. When I finally began decorating it, it was complete in less than 2 hours. This was so much fun because each "pea" is a ball shaped cake of a different flavor, so guests could choose between carrot, chocolate, and red velvet cake. Mmm-mmm-good!<br />

I have to tell you that I was a little scared to deliver this cake. This is another one of those cakes that the recipient is either going to love it or really be mad at someone. As it turned out, she was a really great sport and laughed alot about it. It gave the office something to have fun with while celebrating another birthday for a wonderful friend!<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Babies are so special. A family's first baby is extra special. It is the beginning of a brand new era in the lives of the parents. This particular baby cake is for one of those extra special baby celebrations. We celebrated the upcoming arrival of baby Stella <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Rayne</span>, my brother Cory and his wife Lori's first baby girl. This baby holds a special spot in many people's hearts, along with Cory & Lori's. On the maternal side, this is the first grandchild for Lori's Mom & Dad and the first <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">niece</span> for Lori's brothers. On the paternal side, this baby will share the name Stella <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Bainbridge</span> with her much loved and missed great-grandmother Stella 'Nana' <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Bainbridge</span>. She also is the namesake for Lori's great-grandmother, Stella. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">God has blessed me with so many hand picked <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">nieces</span>, nephews and loved ones. Stella <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Rayne</span> will be my first <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">niece</span> by family relation. God bless Cory and Lori with this new baby girl. I envision her to be a beautiful curly headed <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">brunette</span> full of life and love...<br />

By using just a few tips and techniques<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RlHmREPjcP8/SwX-Y_fpPxI/AAAAAAAAAEU/xLSyOMb_iJU/s1600/2009+11+Coach+Ralph%27s+birthday.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RlHmREPjcP8/SwX-Y_fpPxI/AAAAAAAAAEU/xLSyOMb_iJU/s320/2009+11+Coach+Ralph%27s+birthday.jpg" style="clear: both; float: left; margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;" /></a>, cake decorators can create a cake into many different shapes. This cake did not require a special pan or any unique tool...just a regular sheet cake pan and a good <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">ol</span>' sharp knife. What fun it is to create a replica of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">someone's</span> favorite sporting equipment or tool! <br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">We are working on digging some more pictures from the archives. Many years ago I created a blue hammer for a special little guy who never went anywhere with out it. He is a little older now and would trade his hammer for a set of car keys any day, but that cake reminds us of an era in his life that we wouldn't want to forget!<br />

Cake trends of today display all sorts of highly ornate sugar-made accent pieces. While they are unique and truly a work of art, these sugar made additons do not get eaten and they consume a large amount of time to create, thus driving the price of the cake way beyond the means of everyday people. The perfect alternative is to incorporate props that coordinate with the theme of the cake and bring a flare to the otherwise ordinary sheet cake. In this instance, a minature beach house along with the addition of hand made wooden stilts, a decorative surf board and goggles brought together this Surf's Up Groom's Cake!</div>

</div>Often times the groom defers to the bride for most of the ceremony choices, colors, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">arrangements</span> and so forth, but when it comes to the groom's cake, he gets his chance to express himself in a unique sort of way. Whether it is a red-velvet armadillo cake or a replica of his favorite baseball hat, the groom's cake is sure to bring some laughs and stories to be told for years to come!<br />

<span style="color: #663300;">Ribbon wrapped wedding cakes are a HUGE trend right now. They can incorporate any color you want for your wedding while giving a smooth satin or velvet texture to the most visable surface of your cake. This can be an inexpensive way to dress up a very simple cake.</span><br />

</div><span style="color: #663333;">Many of us have an undenyable addiction to chocolate cake! Too many times though, the beauty of a creamy white buttercream or fondant tries to out-weigh the craving for the oh-so-good flavor of a yummy chocolate cake. The myth that a chocolate cake cannot be beautiful as well should be dispelled! When you bring together coordinating colors, a chocolate cake can be both beautiful and scrumptious! Take your time, talk to the decorator and let them know...CHOCOLATE ROCKS!~<br />

<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">This cake was from the early days of decorating. Many of the birthday cakes for young children have been character cakes. The children really love being able to have their favorite character at their birthday party to help them celebrate the special day. These cakes can be any flavor, but the frosting is normally a vanilla <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">butter cream</span> or cream cheese butter cream. A cake like this can easily feed 20 people. If additional cake is needed, it can be placed upon a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">sheet cake</span> or coordinating cupcakes can be made.</span><br />

Her love of horses were incorporated into the theme of this cake personalizing it just for her.<br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Everyone loves a wedding. And the cake can be the highlight of the reception.<br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">It can be a wonderful way to tie in the wedding colors and the environment of the wedding itself. <br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">As plans progress for your wedding reception, make sure that the host or hostess has been informed as to the best way to cut the cake. If your cake is stacked as this one is, cutting it incorrectly can lead to a wedding disaster. Ask your decorator what the appropriate way to disassemble the cake and how to properly wrap the top so it can be frozen until the first anniversary!<br />

When I had a chance to make my brother & sister-in-law's wedding cake, it felt like it was something that no one else could give them. Certainly, they could have had another decorator make their cake, but it wouldn't have been a personal gift, an investment in the celebration of union between the two of them. </span><br />

It certainly breaks the mold with regard to texture and taste of traditional buttercream frosting. It brings me back to the days of playing with playdough and using the molding presses. I have to admit, after seeing the possibilities of such a moldable cake covering, I am hooked! There truly is no other way to create an impeccably smooth surface as well as emboss, mold and layer designs quite like you can with fondant.<br />

Between the cake and the fondant, an ample amount of buttercream frosting is applied to anchor the fondant to the cake.<br />
