Birthday Suprise

Well August is a super busy month for us. We have MY birthday, My dad's birthday, My grandpa's birthday, My parents anniversary, And our anniversary. Not to mention I am starting the radiology program which is a 40 hr/week course....pheeeew! Well for my birthday my husband bought me a stand mixer, yay!!! I can now make my own buttercream :) I have also been asked about my pricing a lot so I decided to finally put my pricing here on my blog, its on the side column. I am showcasing all of my cakes for the month of august with a brief story under each of them. hope you enjoy!
This is my paintball 16th Birthday cake. I made this cake in 24 hrs. notice!!! They wanted to combine getting in trouble with the cops and paint-balling so this is what i came up with. It took a little bit of thinking to figure out how to get the paintball splashes but finally figured it out.
So my dad turned the big 50, and of course we had to go all out! I made a 3-tier cake of all the things he loves. The top tier was actually on a motorized turntable so it rotated but of course it stops working right before my dad see's it. I sculpted the jeep out of rice krispies. And it was carrot cake with some cream cheese frosting. Yummy!!!
This cake was really fun! it was a 1st birthday safari cake. I did the zebra stripes but in brown tones. Added some palm trees, polka dots, and some cute little animals!
