Strawberry Shortcake, Nana, Papa, Craig, and Shawn

For my daughter's 4th birthday, she requested a Strawberry Shortcake, Nana, Papa, Craig, and Shawn Cake... Interesting... Hmm... how do I meet this request? This is my answer.

A Way to Carry

When my youngest was born, she loved to be carried. With 2 older siblings, we were always on the go. I have a sling carrier, but she didn't really enjoy it. So, I borrowed a front carrier from a friend. Blessing! As my baby got heavier, this front carrier was hurting me when I used it. This carrier is only recommended up to 25 lbs and can only be used for front carry. I decided to make my own carrier after finding some examples online. The carrier I made can be used on front facing in or out and on my back.

This is the final project.

Dress for a 1st Birthday

I've been bitten by the crafty bug. I felt that my youngest needed something to wear to make her 1 st birthday special. My first thought was to put the number 1 on a shirt. I didn't have a plain white shirt in her size. So, I grabbed 2 shirts that my older daughter could no longer wear and cut them down to fit my youngest. After remaking the shirt and adding a 1, I decided to add a ruffle to make it a dress. Then I thought it needed something more, so another ruffle. I also added the little flower. I also picked out the pink/purple flower headband that I made a few months ago.

Dragon

For my son's magical 6th birthday, he asked for a dragon. He told me the colors that he wanted. I made this cake from 2 round 8" cakes.

May the 'Frosting' be with you

My latest challenge...

Can't Wait for my Princess Cake

We are celebrating our Daughter's 3rd birthday early because I'm expecting our 3rd child around her 'real' birthday. She wanted a princess cake wearing a blue dress. So, I spent most of the day/evening making this cake. After I finish it, I just push it to the back of my counter. I told myself I would get a picture of the finished Princess cake in the morning. This is what I found. My daughter was playing with the doll and eating the frosting. I'm not 'fixing' it before the family party. This will be her Can't Wait for Cake Story!

BumbleeBee Transformer Cake

Here is Bumblebee. It was hard to find a pic of this Transformer because it is full of tiny details. I found a few pics that I liked and had my 4 1/2 yr old son pick which pic to put on the cake for his friend. This is the result.
