January, 2010 Cakes

We had a wonderful Christmas Holiday, and then came back to the shop to do lots of cute cakes. We did baby showers, birthdays, and then a couple of cakes that really don't fit into any catagory!

Let's start with the baby shower cakes.
This precious animal cake was a copy of the invitation.
This tiered cake was done in the colors of the nursery with the baby's initial on top!

We did lots of adult birthdays in January, too.

Now let's look at our cakes for other events.

This cake was made for a Teacher of the Year Celebration at a local elementary school. This teacher loved Bon Jovi as well as the 60's peace and love theme.

This tiered cake was white cake with buttercream icing on the bottom tier and chocolate cake with chocolate fudge icing on the top tier. It was for a women's meeting at a church where the theme was "Choice, Change, Challenge".

Cakes from November 1-December 31

Sorry it's been so long since this blog has been updated. November and December were crazy months, both at the cake shop and at home. Hopefully, we're back on track with updates.

During those two months we did lots of birthday cakes...for both adults and children. Let's look at them first.
