>/center>Why am I telling you this?  Well, I told you a few weeks ago that I was saving my Swagbucks and cashing in for gift cards to eventually buy a macro lens for my camera and I was soooo close, but then guess what?  My hubby bought me the lens for my birthday!

Now I’m trying to decide what I’d like to buy  next or what to save for.  Just  the other day I cashed in Swagbucks and was able to add 5 more $5 gift cards, so now I have $130 in my Amazon account!  Anywho… I’m watching for codes today to earn even more and I thought you should too!

What cake stuff would you spend a free $130 on at Amazon?  I’d love to hear!  Leave me a comment :)

Mod Onesie Baby Shower Cake and Blue Candy Apples

Blue Buttercream Mod Baby Shower Cake with Onesie

This Mod Onesie Baby Shower Cake and Blue Candy Apples were for a friend of the family!   Her sister sent me a picture from Cake Whimsy and asked that I use it as the inspiration for the cake.

The cake was vanilla with vanilla buttercream.  I was baked in an 10″ square pan.

Blue Mod Baby Shower Cake with Onesie

For the mod design on the sides, I used my square cutters to cut out the different sizes, some filled in and some only outlines.  I used the daisy cutters from the Wilton Gum Paste Flowers set to do the flowers.

The little onesie on top was cut by hand (not as easy as I thought it would be), then I covered it in polka dots cut with frosting tips!  The lettering was done with the FMM Tappit Funky Alphabet cutters…. ya’ll know I can’t write with buttercream!

Bright Blue Raspberry Candy Apples

To go along with the cake, I made blue candied apples!   I first did some of these way back when I did the Dump Truck and Construction themed party!

Blue Candy Apples Boxed

Since then, I’ve learned how to make candy apples in any color, and I’ve done them quite a few times!     If I could just figure out how to make them not stick to the paper and also how to prevent the bubbles that randomly appear, I’d be great!

And that’s it…  do you have any questions about this cake or candy apples?  Leave a comment and I’ll answer and help out if I can!

Circus Train Cake with Animals

Circus Train Cake with Animals

My house is a total zoo and I have at least a million things going on today, but I really really wanted to share a cake and not just the Costco deal today.  So, here’s my quick cake post… it’s another Circus Train Cake with Animals!

I say “another” because this cake falls into that Sweet Repeats category on Facebook…. it’s a cake I’ve done before and shared details about.  The biggest change to this cake from the original is the color scheme – and even that is not a huge change.    I just muted the colors a tiny bit so that they were more “primary” and not so bright!

I also used my smaller Play-Doh letter cutters since John Grady’s name was longer than the name on the first cake!

Everybody knows I’m not a photographer, but if you want to see some really amazing photos of this cake and the entire party (done at the Ag Museum), please go over and visit Rebecca Jex Photography.  And if you’re here in Mississippi and looking for a photographer – be sure to consider her!  Her pictures are amazing and I’m hoping one day I can take photos half as good as hers!!

This cake was all vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream filling.  It was covered and decorated with homemade marshmallow fondant.   Except the black and red… it was Satin Ice Black Vanilla fondant and Satin Ice Red Vanilla fondant.    You can see how to do the stars on wires here and how I make fondant number toppers here.

And that’s all I’ve got for you!  I’m off to wash dishes and fold laundry and do all that other stuff that falls under the title of homeschooling mommy to 6 busy, dirty kiddos ;)

Do you have any questions about this cake?  Or maybe you just wanna say hi!  I love questions and comments so please leave one!
