We broke our cardinal rule...

After the infamous weekend of the doxie cake AND the Auburn cake, we promised each other that we would NEVER again attempt two cakes in one weekend... BUT, as I'm sure you are aware, last week was FUN WEEK. It was pretty much inevitable that two cakes would fall on the same day...

This Saturday we spent the entire day getting these cakes done - but it went so much better this time!

The first of the two cakes was a surprise to us (well, we found out about it AFTER our fondant prep day of 9 colors), so we had to make the fondant first thing... We decided to go with lighter colors than usual, but we love them so much! The texture of our new fondant was perfection! The cake itself was a fun & new design for us, so we have a new favorite cake...

We then moved onto our next onesie cake... those things have become pretty popular... Maybe they'll become the next Lava Lamp or Beanie Baby or Tamagatchi or something, and we'll work like crazy for three years and retire at the ripe old ages of 26 & 27! Hey, it could happen...

Anyway... this cake was for Leah and Baby Carson! We took our inspiration from the baby registry and did this one in blue, brown & ivory with dots to match Carson's room. We heard it was a hit at the shower, so we are thrilled that they were happy with it!

Cassandra's Baby Shower

Sorry for the delay in uploading the pictures we promised of OUR BEST CAKE EVER!! I was running around like a crazy person on Sunday, so we didn't take the time to take adequate pictures of the cake. This is a picture that Cassandra's Nana took at the party... and as it turns out, this is the only one!

I've actually been eating part of the leftovers of this cake today at work (6 days after its "birth"... haha) and it's still so super yummy! So not only was this cake a huge success because of the way it looks, it tastes perfect, too! I've even been told by multiple fondant haters that this is the best fondant they've ever eaten... Cassandra won't stop eating it and she hated the stuff before she tasted ours! Her teeth have been blue off and on all day!

I must say that the shower was a huge success overall, and we are thrilled that the cake was only one little part of the wonderful day! Congrats Cassandra and Jeremy! We can't wait to meet Baby Judson!

11/11/08: We found another picture!! Yay!! This one is a better view of the cars! Thanks, Mrs. Ivey for sharing it with us!!!

Out of the depths of despair...

Even though we ended October on a really bad note...

Happy NOVEMBER! That means it's the beginning of FUN WEEK, and we're off to a GREAT start!

Last week was horrible, as everyone knows... but Cassandra...and everyone... must have been praying really hard... because this week's first cake was FANTASTIC!!! Our best yet!!!

We'd been so nervous about beginning it, but wound up having such a great, easy, wonderful experience. We finished in record time... even cleaned up before it was time for lunch!

Maybe we're finally starting to get the hang of this cake decorating thing...

CHECK BACK TOMORROW FOR SOME IMPRESSIVE PICTURES!!!

Let's just say we put the areas best bakeries to SHAME!
