Sundbakes

This sea turtle is SO CUTE!!! I hope real sea turtles are invited to this ocean themed birthday party.

Painting cakes like this is almost like crossing a tightrope for me. I sort of know what I want it to look like, but once I begin I need to cross that tight rope without looking down. Just painting, no thinking.

If I start to think, I'll fall!

Once I think I might be done with the trickiest part, I take a step back to asses, and then I design the rest of the cake around what I've created. So for this cake I knew I needed a sea turtle. I started painting this cute little guy in a trance, then stepped back and picked the colors for a sunset sky.

Thanks for trusting me to create beautiful cakes for you! I never know how they will look until they are done, but that's half the fun!

Landscape cakes are such a joy to create! I get to relax and create a dreamworld as the buttercream does what it wants. This landscape cake turned out especially magical because it looks like you could walk right into the meadow.

Today is Felicity's last day of middle school, so I hope I can talk her into walking in some meadows with me this summer! She hates to go on walks with us, but maybe wildflowers will entice her.

Can you talk your teenager into going on walks with you? Tell me your secrets!
