Happy Birthday Dad!

1937 Chevrolet

My Dad recently celebrated a big birthday and my Mother requested a replica of a car from the year he was born.  It just so happened that my Dad's first car was made the year he was born.  This is a replica of the 1937 Chev my Dad first owned.  In typical fashion, it's a cute, cartoonish version!  This was half chocolate with chocolate buttercream and half white with raspberry filling!  At the time I was making the cake, I didn't realize how much fun the front fenders would end up being in photo ops with nutty sisters and cousins!  May have to post some pictures of those fun times!!!

Strawberry Shortcake House!

I recently had the privilege of making this cake for a special little lady's first birthday party!  Her family  very affectionately refers to her as "Bug"...adorable!
 This was a marble cake with chocolate buttercream and was covered in fondant to give it a smooth finish.  As usual, I spent much longer than planned on the details...
 but am happy that I did!!!
Happy Birthday "Bug"!
